THE PRIVACY

A Private, Intimate Evening on the Water

This is a private charter designed for your party alone—an exclusive Sunset Sail limited by availability so your group has the boat to itself for the full two‑hour trip.

THE CREW

A Licensed Captain at the Helm

Every charter runs with a licensed captain aboard, so the operator handles navigation and safety while your group relaxes during the sunset cruise.

THE LOGISTICS

Clear Rates and Coast Guard Limits

Private‑charter pricing is published by headcount and adjusts after booking; the sailboat has a maximum capacity under Coast Guard regulations, so plan your guest list accordingly.

What the day feels like

What the Sunset Sail Feels Like

Over the course of two hours you’ll leave Pleasant Bay with a licensed captain steering the charter; the format is deliberately compact and private, meant to deliver an uncomplicated evening on the water during the sunset window. Because this offering is a dedicated Sunset Sail, check the operator’s calendar for exact departure times and availability.

Who it's for

Small private groups and couplesIdeal for parties that want a dedicated boat for their evening; pricing and the private format accommodate small groups looking for an exclusive sunset experience.
