High season note
This sunset cruise is operated by an individual private boat.
Once assigned, that vessel can only run one sunset charter per evening.
Sunset charters are very popular year-round and often book several days in advance during high season.
After you request your preferred date, we confirm availability directly with the captain operating the cruise.
Your booking is confirmed before any remaining balance is due.
