The Point Sur Clipper is the boat we use for most of our charters. She is a 55' vessel equipped with two brand new engines by John Deere, and is fully Coast Guard inspected and insured. She has a capacity of 48 passengers, inside and outside seating, two restrooms and all required life saving equipment.

The Pt. Sur Clipper was designed for handling extreme weather in Washington and Alaska. Although we don't have such extreme weather in Monterey, the design of the boat makes it less likely for passengers to be seasick when they're on the Pt. Sur Clipper than when they're on other boats in the Monterey fleet.

The Pt. Sur Clipper has been featured on National Geographic and BBC documentaries.

The 70' twin diesel Sea Wolf II, with a capacity of 70 passengers and equipment similar to the Pt. Sur Clipper.
