Tours are limited to two-thirds of the vessel's rated capacity — no more than six guests — ensuring plenty of seating and room to spread out for a relaxed evening on the water.
Extended Sunset Viewing
This experience doubles the standard 2-hour cruise to four hours so you can linger as the horizon fills with color and the evening unfolds over the ocean's expanse.
Optional Massage and Photography
On specially arranged dates you can add customized massage sessions (up to 30 minutes each) or hire a professional photographer to capture the sail, both available by arrangement after booking.
