Tips for a Memorable Sunset Sail
As locals, we want to share some tips to take a sunset sail experience to the next level!
- Arrive Early: To ensure that passengers have ample time to board and get settled before setting sail, arrive at least 30 minutes before departure.
- Dress Accordingly: Evenings on the water can get chilly, so passengers should bring along layers to stay warm as the sun dips below the horizon.
- Capture the Moment: Don’t forget to bring a camera or smartphone to capture the stunning sunset and create lasting memories of the sailing adventure.
