About
After the heat of the day, the sunset on the Crystal Coast is often a welcome and beautiful relief. Due to the unique alignment of the Southern Outer Banks, the sunset isn’t directly behind the beach, allowing some more time to enjoy the rays and possibly a beverage. Our expert captains can take you to the best locations to watch the sunset or squeeze those last few minutes of sunlight in your day, regardless of what your desire is.

The coastal marshes can attract bugs at sunset; bring bug spray to keep your experience pleasant.
