We brought a small group of friends out for the sunset cruise. Captain Dan is so great, and First Mate Dave had all kinds of fun information. The cruise took us from Sag Harbor around toward the Shelter Island ferry and back. For the best sunset views, the rear of the boat was the best! We brought our wines and snacks and had a ball! Would do it again for sure!

Absolutely phenomenal. My dad and I last minute decided to book this cruise and it was the highlight of our trip to Long Island. Crew is so kind. The entire experience was so lovely— the sunset was spectacular.

We live locally and have gone on the sunset cruise many times with family and friends. It’s a beautiful experience for an unbeatable rate. There was a weather cancellation for our booked day (Mon) so they quickly accommodated everyone and opened up a cruise for the following night. Highly recommend to anyone local or visiting!

Wonderful experience! Very reasonable pricing, and easy to book. We were visiting from Wisconsin over Memorial Day weekend, and found this cruise while walking around. It was THE best sunset cruise! Quaint yet not too small. Just the right number of guests to feel like we were all on a friend's boat. Love the local captain and his crew and their down-to earth style; they shared so many interesting things about the area, and pointed out historical and natural landmarks that are unique to the area. Highly recommend this for anyone, from anywhere! Thanks for a great time -- we will be back!

What a memorable time onboard! We stayed in Shelter Island over a long weekend, and decided to close out our trip with a sunset cruise. We took our car onto the ferry over to North Haven, and then drove to Sag Harbor for our cruise. During the 2-hour adventure, the views of the sunset AND moon rise were spectacular. It was like we were looking at a live painting the whole time! We brought our own drinks onboard, and the crew was incredibly warm + hospitable. I highly recommend them—they work hard. The evening was truly memorable.

The sunset cruise was so great! The crew was just that little extra touch. They told us some interesting info about Sag Harbor which was very cool to know. The boat ride was smooth and went off without a hitch. Def would recommend for that perfect easy on the water kind of night. David was great and so was the captain. Great night guys! Thank you🌊⛴️
