About This Adventure

Enjoy a Sunset Cruise and Shark Viewing!

Duration

3-4 hours

Imagine setting out on a sunset-to-night shark viewing adventure, where day gracefully fades into twilight, painting the sky in breathtaking hues of orange, pink, and purple. As the sun dips below the horizon, the ocean comes alive under the first twinkling stars, creating a magical atmosphere.

You’ll enjoy a serene cruise, gliding through the clear waters with a gentle breeze on your face. As night descends, the true excitement begins. You’ll have the rare chance to witness sharks in their natural habitat, illuminated by the boat's underwater lights. The mysterious silhouettes of these majestic creatures move gracefully through the dark waters, offering a thrilling yet peaceful encounter with the ocean’s top predators.

While you marvel at this extraordinary spectacle, you can indulge in a carefully curated charcuterie board filled with gourmet delights. Guests may also BYOB (please no glass, hard alcohol, or smoking on the boat). Charcuterie Board is included in your trip at no additional charge.

How to Dress

Although on our sunset shark viewing tour we choose calm weather, there's still a chance of ocean spray. When the sun drops, the temperature can also decrease, so it's recommended to dress accordingly. Wearing moisture-wicking, quick-drying clothing, along with a light jacket or windbreaker or hoodie can help you stay comfortable and dry throughout the trip. Layering is also advisable to adjust easily as the evening progresses and temperatures cool.

Who Can Come

Anyone can join the sunset shark viewing trip. Please note, however, that if you are over 300 lbs or have a disability, it is important to call in advance to ensure appropriate accommodations and safety measures are in place.

Cost

  • $155 per person please note that a minimum of 4 people must be on the boat for this trip to go

Adventure Tips

Arrive Early for the Best Views

Getting on the boat a bit before sunset allows you to settle in and catch the changing light conditions.

Wear Neutral-Colored Clothing

Neutral shades reduce reflections in the water, helping you observe marine life without glare distraction.

Bring Binoculars for Better Viewing

Binoculars can enhance your view of distant sharks and surrounding marine wildlife.

Watch the Weather Forecast

Clear skies and mild winds provide the best experience; rough weather can limit visibility and safety.
