What the day feels like

How the Sunset Cruise Feels

This is a compact private outing—packed into two hours—built around golden hour.

The boat is positioned for the sunset over Assateague, guests spread across two decks, some on the upper level with drinks, others enjoying shade below or taking a slide into the water.
