Chardonnay Sailing Charters

Chardonnay Sailing Charters Let’s set sail together. Chardonnay Sailing Charters began its journey in 1984 with the purchase of its first vessel, the Chardonnay I.
(363)

We're delighted to extend a warm welcome to you for a luxurious and unforgettable journey, featuring exquisite first-class service and breathtaking panoramic views of the Santa Cruz coastline and the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary. Inspired by the rolling vineyards of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the name reflects the region’s rich winemaking heritage and coastal charm. The Chardonnay I was a stunning

Santa Cruz ‘50, designed by renowned yacht designer Bill Lee, affectionately known as The Wizard. A founding member of the Santa Cruz School of Boatbuilding, Lee is celebrated for crafting some of the world’s most iconic racing yachts. As the company grew, so did its ambitions. In 1991, Chardonnay I was succeeded by the larger and more powerful Santa Cruz ‘70, Chardonnay II, also custom-built by Bill Lee. For over 25 years, Chardonnay II has been a beloved symbol of Santa Cruz, delighting both locals and visitors with unforgettable sailing experiences. The Santa Cruz ‘70 is a favorite among racing enthusiasts, known for its sleek hull and swift sails. But unlike many racing yachts, Chardonnay II offers generous onboard amenities and spacious topside seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the breathtaking views of Monterey Bay. At Chardonnay Sailing Charters, we’ve crafted an experience that blends comfort, speed, and breathtaking views. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor, a curious traveler, or a local looking for a new perspective, our charters offer something truly special. We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to you for a luxurious and unforgettable journey, featuring exquisite first-class service and breathtaking panoramic views of the Santa Cruz coastline and the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary.
