There were dolphins all around Mon Tiki on our August 12, 2014 noon cruise. Apologies for the shaky camera work. Wish your had been with us!

Ideal condition and a lovely compliment of guests combined for a perfect sunset cruise on Block Island Sound, July 26, 2014

The only days Lucas and Capt. David get off are the days that are no good for sailing and no good for working on the boat. Fortunately, living in Montauk means there are always ways to have fun on the water, even on a rainy, foggy day!

The charter ctamaran Mon Tiki on a reach sustaining at 10-12kts on Block Island Sound near Montauk New York

Sunrise November 20, 2013 Mon Tiki is a day and a half out from New York Harbor and headed towards Norfolk VA. The day before, Tuesday, had been a tough crossing 30 miles out from the mouth of the Delaware Bay, with northwest winds gusting to 30kts+ and short 8-10 foot seas, followed by a night with temperatures into the 30s. This footage was shot Wednesday morning, when the winds had clocked north and slacked to about 20kts -- picnic weather compared to the previous day. Mon Tiki's crew was feeling a little beat up, but Mon Tiki herself wasn't showing any strain. By noon we were sailing under the northern most span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and into the Chesapeake Bay proper. The music is "Seductio ad Absurdum" off of Black Hi-Lighters's second album "Bite the Bullet" and featuring my friend James Poulos on vocals. I choose this music because loving the sea is a bit like loving a beautiful but temperamental and indifferent woman. Maybe you'd be better off loving someone else, but you don't choose love, love chooses you.

Brownies from Girl Scout Troop 1181 and biologists from the East Hampton Shellfish Hatchery joined us on Mon Tiki to seed 27,000 juvenile oysters and 80,000 juvenile clams in Lake Montauk.

Highlights from sailing aboard the charter catamaran Mon Tiki in Montauk New York during August 2013. Mon Tiki isn't the only way to enjoy August in Montauk, but it might be the best!

We had a great month of sailing in June, with a mix of corporate outings, private parties, and cozy walk-on trips. We'd love to take you sailing too! More info at www.sailingmontauk.com

Moving the catamaran S/V MON TIKI out of the workshop and into the yard to fit out her deck.

This clip takes us through everything that happened in the shop in March; from putting up the upper bulkheads, to receiving our final USCG approval, to glassing and fairing the hulls.

Today we turned the port hull of Mon Tiki. A big thanks to Corrigan's Auto in Bridgehampton for the old tires!

Mon Tiki is a US Coastguard inspected sailing vessel operating out of Montauk, the premiere destination for the sporting life in the Hamptons. We offer walk-on daysailing, sunset cruises, private charters, and sailing and sailing classroom trips.
