This two-hour sunset cruise invites couples to experience the calm waters of Port Royal Sound while enjoying a beautifully plated meal inside the comfort of the vessel’s elegant dining room. Far from a typical dinner, this cruise pairs breathtaking coastal views with gourmet cuisine, promising an intimate and memorable evening on the water.

Hilton Head Island, located along the Lowcountry coast, is renowned for its rich maritime heritage and scenic waterways framed by towering live oaks and salt marshes.

This region’s blend of tidal creeks, estuaries, and coastal forests provides a serene backdrop that few destinations can match.

Guests board at 149 Lighthouse Road, where the sleek, comfortable Spirit of Harbour Town awaits. Upon boarding, each guest receives a complimentary glass of champagne to set the mood. Seating is assigned in advance, ensuring a cozy table by a window to soak in the views. The menu highlights seasonal and locally inspired dishes, such as a vibrant Heirloom Tomato Panzanella salad, followed by a choice of entrees including Blackened Mahi Mahi with pineapple salsa or Cider Roasted Pork Loin with peppercorn sauce. For dessert, indulge in a decadent flourless chocolate torte or a refreshing sunset key lime pie, both served with fresh whipped cream and raspberry coulis.

Aside from the exquisite dining, what makes this cruise exceptional is its smooth blend of comfort and atmosphere. The Spirit of Harbour Town is fully equipped with restrooms, ensuring convenience throughout the voyage, though guests should note the facilities are accessed via stairs. The dress code is resort casual, making it easy to enjoy a stylish but relaxed evening.

This Valentine’s Day dinner cruise is perfect for couples looking to create lasting memories, combining the charm of Hilton Head’s coastal scenery with a thoughtfully curated menu and attentive service. It’s a standout experience amid Hilton Head’s many outdoor activities, offering a romantic twist on the island’s rich waterfront lifestyle.

Whether you’re a local or visiting Hilton Head Island, this cruise is a unique way to celebrate love against one of the South’s most picturesque maritime settings. With advance reservations strongly recommended due to limited seating, it’s a rare chance to toast the day of love while gliding smoothly past salt marshes under a pastel sky.
