Sunset Sailing

Daytime Sightseeing + Sunset

Depart 2 hours before the sun touches the horizon for a complete sunset boat cruise of NYC. This departure time ensures enough visibility for sightseeing, plus you’ll catch every golden hue, vibrant pink, and fiery orange as the day transitions to night.

Sunset + City Lights

Set sail 30 minutes before sunset to catch the grand finale of the golden hour to catch the sparkling debut of the city lights show. You’ll leave the dock bathed in honeyed light, gliding toward Lady Liberty just as twilight paints her in silhouette. As her torch begins to glow, the skyline comes to life. From the heart of New York Harbor, you’ve got the best seat in the house to watch a million lights fill the skyline.

Sightseeing + Sunset + City Lights

Depart 1.5 hours before sunset for all three experiences – sightseeing, sunset, and city lights. Catch it all for the best sunset cruise NYC! 

On a private sunset sail in NYC, the sky becomes your own VIP theater—no tickets, no crowds, just front-row seats to nature’s most dazzling light show. Hues ripple across the sky and water, and the city’s glass towers reflect and amplify it all. Aboard your private charter, the sunset isn’t just a view—it’s an experience you feel in your bones. No surprise the sunset cruise is our most popular. Once you’ve seen New York City in this light, there’s no going back.

Welcome to the “Golden Hour”—that magical time when the sky turns off the harsh fluorescent lighting to reveal a soft, golden glow. On a New York sunset cruise, everyone looks like they’ve stepped out of a Vogue spread. Even Lady Liberty gets a Hollywood makeover with a radiance that spreads over the harbor.

Cheers to the hour when the city, and everyone in it, shines like pure gold.
