This 2-hour evening adventure is perfect for couples looking for a romantic evening, families wanting to create lasting memories, or small groups of friends ready to unwind on the water. At $250 for up to 4 guests, it's one of the best deals you'll find for a private sunset experience in the area.

What to Expect on the Water

This cruise is all about taking it easy and soaking in the scenery. You'll board a comfortable vessel designed for smooth sailing, even if you're not the strongest sea legs in your group. The boat features plenty of seating where you can spread out, relax, and get those Instagram-worthy shots as the sun dips toward the horizon. Captain Kelly Anne knows these waters like the back of her hand, so you'll hit all the best spots for viewing coastal landmarks and catching the evening light as it bounces off the South Shore. The pace is leisurely – no rushing, no pressure, just pure relaxation as you drift through Blue Point's protected bay waters. If your group is bigger than 4, you can add up to 2 more people at $50 each, making it work for parties of up to 6.

Evening Cruise Details

The beauty of a sunset cruise is in the timing and the route, and Kelly Anne has both dialed in perfectly. You'll launch from Blue Point and head out into the bay as the late afternoon light starts to get that golden quality photographers dream about. The boat stays in calmer waters, which means everyone stays comfortable while you cruise past local landmarks and waterfront homes that look even more stunning bathed in evening light. There's no fishing gear to worry about, no diving equipment to manage – just you, your group, and the changing sky above. The vessel itself is equipped with comfortable seating arrangements that let everyone get great views, whether you're snapping photos or just watching the world go by. Most guests bring along snacks and drinks to enjoy during the cruise, and there's plenty of space to set up your own little floating happy hour.

Local Wildlife You Might Spot

While this isn't a dedicated wildlife tour, the calm evening hours often bring out some of the bay's most interesting residents. Great Blue Herons are common sights along the shoreline during sunset cruises, especially from late spring through early fall. These impressive birds, standing up to 4 feet tall, hunt in the shallow waters and can often be spotted motionless among the reeds before striking at fish with lightning speed. What makes them special here is how comfortable they are around boats – you'll often get within 30 feet of these magnificent hunters without disturbing their evening routine. Osprey are another customer favorite, particularly during their nesting season from March through August. These fish-eating raptors dive from impressive heights and aren't shy about fishing right near the boat. Their large stick nests are visible on channel markers and platforms throughout the bay, and watching them return with a fresh catch as the sun sets is something guests talk about long after the trip ends. Harbor seals occasionally make appearances too, though they're more common in cooler months. When they do show up, usually just their heads poking above the surface, they're curious about the boat and will often follow along for a few minutes before diving back down.

Time to Book Your Spot

If you're looking for a way to see Blue Point from a completely different perspective while enjoying one of nature's best daily shows, this sunset cruise delivers exactly that. The combination of Kelly Anne's local knowledge, comfortable boat, and perfect timing makes this a customer favorite that books up fast, especially during peak season. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, showing visiting family around Long Island, or just want to end a day with something special, this 2-hour cruise hits all the right notes. Keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before you commit. The relaxed atmosphere, scenic route, and unbeatable price point make this one of the best sunset experiences you'll find on the South Shore.
