Sunset Live-Music Cruise on Sodus Bay Aboard the Rose Lummis | Boat Tour | Events

On summer evenings in Wayne County, New York, the Rose Lummis slips from Pier 53 and eases out into Sodus Bay for two hours of live music, cool breezes and wide, lake-lit sunsets. Meet at Pier 53 Open Air Bar and Brick Oven • 7147 Lake Bluff Road, Wolcott NY 14590, where the Boatyard Pub & Grill’s docks put you steps from the gangway. Leave your car, grab a local brew, then climb aboard as Doctors Orders sets a relaxed acoustic soundtrack for the cruise.

Sodus Bay’s shallow waters and long shoreline create broad, mirror-like reflections at dusk; the scene combines reed-lined marsh edges, distant tree-lined bluffs and a horizon where Lake Ontario’s sweep begins. The Rose Lummis keeps the mood intimate — small-boat lines, an open deck for standing or settling into seats, and a low-key crowd that comes for date nights, friends catching up, or anyone after a slow evening on the water. The main features are the bay itself, the shoreline marshes, and the wide sunset vistas that turn the surface to copper and indigo.

This outing is ideal if you want an easy, scenic way to experience Sodus Bay without planning a full-day charter. The two-hour length makes it an after-work escape or a laid-back centerpiece to a weekend. Arrive thirty minutes early for a timely departure; boarding happens at the Pier 53 meeting point. Food and drink are encouraged before boarding at the Boatyard Pub & Grill, giving you picnic-style options without packing a cooler.

Practical details: the cruise runs about two hours and suits casual boaters; expect gentle motion rather than rough open-lake conditions. Bring a wind layer and closed shoes for the dock. Binoculars pick out herons and passing waterfowl along the marsh edges; a small camera will capture the low sun on the water. Accessibility and group-size specifics are not listed in the operator notes—check the referral booking link for the most current details.

Why this is special: the Rose Lummis cruise distills the region’s boating culture into an easy, repeatable evening ritual. It’s less a distant, expensive charter than a neighborhood tradition—an accessible way for visitors to feel part of the local summer rhythm. For photographers, couples, and anyone who values soft live music with a lakeside sunset, this short cruise delivers a focused, memorable slice of Sodus Bay.
