Get a taste of coastal sailing with this one-day hop from Monterey, California to San Francisco Bay. We sail all day and into the night, passing along the rugged coastline and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Total 100nm trip takes 14-16 hours, including several hours after dark, and is a great introduction to the sailing we do on our longer voyages. Atalanta recently completed a round trip voyage to Hawaii, and you'll be sailing with the same experienced captain and crew.

5.0/5•36 ReviewsCoastal and offshore adventures aboard the custom Farr 53 Atalanta in California and beyond. Atalanta makes frequent trips to San Francisco and neighboring regions, as well as offering multi-day offshore sailing excursions around the West Coast of the US and the eastern Pacific Ocean. In the summer of 2026, Atalanta sailed from Monterey, California to Honolulu, Hawaii and back! Our trips are great for beginners looking to gain offshore experience and advanced sailors alike. Gain high level sailing knowledge and learn from Captain Kevin Wasbauer, a seasoned professional racer and licensed captain.
They’ve got that rare balance of knowing their stuff without making a song and dance about it. Good boats, thoughtful routes and the kind of trips where you end up more capable, more relaxed, and already thinking about the next one.
