Blue Point Sunset Cruise Kelly Anne Charters

4 Hour Blue Point NY Evening Cruise

Looking for the perfect way to unwind after a long day? This 4-hour sunset cruise out of Blue Point is exactly what you need. At $250 for up to 4 guests, it's one of the most popular evening experiences on Long Island's south shore. Captain Kelly Anne has been running these cruises for years, and she knows exactly where to position the boat for those postcard-perfect sunset shots. The calm bay waters around Blue Point make this trip comfortable for everyone – no seasickness worries here. You'll have plenty of time to settle in, explore the local waterways, and watch the sky transform as evening approaches.

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your typical rushed boat ride. Four hours gives you the luxury of really soaking in the experience. We'll cruise through some of Blue Point's most scenic spots, including the protected waters near Sayville and the quieter channels that most day-trippers never see. The boat itself is set up for comfort – stable platform, cushioned seating, and enough space for everyone to move around freely. Families love this trip because kids can explore safely while adults relax with a cold drink. Couples find it romantic without being over-the-top cheesy. The changing light throughout the evening creates different moods – golden hour photography opportunities are endless. Captain Kelly Anne knows all the best spots to pause and let you take in the views, plus she's got stories about the local area that'll keep you entertained between photo stops.

Cruise Details & Layout

The boat runs smooth and quiet through these protected waters. We're not dealing with ocean swells here – the Great South Bay stays remarkably calm, especially in the evening when the wind typically dies down. The vessel features comfortable bench seating with backrests, a small table area perfect for snacks or drinks you bring aboard, and easy movement from bow to stern. Safety equipment is all Coast Guard approved, and Captain Kelly Anne provides a quick safety briefing before we head out. The route varies slightly depending on weather and water conditions, but typically includes a swing past the Sayville waterfront, a cruise along the Fire Island inlet, and positioning in the best spot for sunset viewing. No fishing gear cluttering the deck, no loud music – just you, your group, and the peaceful evening waters. The stable design makes this trip suitable for all ages, including seniors who might be hesitant about smaller, bouncier boats.

Wildlife You Might Encounter

Evening cruises offer some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities on the Great South Bay. Ospreys are incredibly active during these hours, and you'll often see them diving for fish or returning to their massive nests on channel markers. These impressive raptors can have wingspans over 5 feet, and watching them fish is pure entertainment. They're most active from April through September, with peak fishing activity happening right around sunset. Blue Point's osprey population has really bounced back over the years, and seeing a successful dive never gets old. Harbor seals pop up regularly too, especially near the inlet areas. They're curious about boats and will often surface nearby to check us out before disappearing again. During summer months, you might spot diamondback terrapins swimming near the marsh edges – these unique turtles are perfectly adapted to brackish water and can often be seen basking on logs during the day before becoming active swimmers at dusk. The bird life is spectacular year-round, with great blue herons, snowy egrets, and various duck species depending on the season.
