Sunset Sailboat Cruise on Winyah Bay
Overview
As the sun lowers over the bay, the water softens and the sky comes alive. This is a favorite for couples, relaxed evenings, and anyone who wants to end the day on the water.
Step aboard for an unforgettable evening on the water with a small-group sunset sailing cruise departing from Georgetown, South Carolina. Glide across the protected waters of Winyah Bay, one of the largest and most scenic estuaries on the South Carolina coast, while taking in wide, uninterrupted views of undeveloped barrier islands and preserved historical landholdings. Feel the gentle coastal winds as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the Lowcountry marshes in vibrant hues. This intimate 2-hour sailing adventure accommodates a maximum of six guests, offering a peaceful, unhurried escape far removed from crowded waterways and busy harbors.

What To Expect
Cruise across the open channels of Winyah Bay as your guide shares fascinating local history about the region, including the heritage of nearby landholdings like Hobcaw Barony, Cat Island, and North Island. Depending on weather and water conditions, the route may pass historic landmarks such as the remains of the Harvest Moon shipwreck or offer distant views of the historic Georgetown Lighthouse. Throughout the 2-hour trip, guests are welcome to actively participate in handling the sails or simply sit back, relax on the cockpit cushions, and enjoy the scenery.
Sunset Cruise starts at the boat at 4:30 pm for all dates after September 12. Please call with questions.
Starting November 1, we will suspend sunset cruises due to the sun setting so early.
