What the day feels like

How the evening unfolds

You board at Coastal Vibes Cruises in Weymouth and settle in with a Sunset Punch as the boat slips away from the harbour. Over the course of 2½ hours the vessel follows the coast, offering panoramic sea and cliff-line views of the Jurassic Coast. A live acoustic musician plays as passengers browse a light-bites menu and visit the fully licensed bar. The cruise is intentionally relaxed — warm summer breezes, good food and music accompany the slow, inevitable dimming of daylight into dusk.
