The Captain's Inn is a historic bed and breakfast that was originally built to be the Pacific Coast Steamship Company in 1906 following the San Francisco earthquake. Located in a quaint, historic fishing village in Central Monterey Bay and half way between Santa Cruz and Carmel, the inn offers a marvelous opportunity to see a multitude of wildlife. You may watch a harbor seal swim by, an egret looking for fish or a hawk soaring overhead. Wonderful waterfront views from the inn relax the pace with a sea air freshness.

Each guest bed in the boathouse is uniquely made from a boat, beautifully adapted for a perfect night's sleep. All rooms have a private bath, gas fireplace, antiques and outstanding views of the marsh, river, and sand dunes. In the main inn, each room is decorated in antiques with a nautical touch. Two accommodation offer a fireplace and two have claw-foot bathtubs. High Speed Internet throughout - wifi in dining room and parlor and hardwire access in guest rooms..
