Sunset Yacht Cruises in St. Martin & St. Barts

The last two hours of a Caribbean day are its finest: the heat softens, the water turns to hammered gold, and the coastline glows. A private sunset cruise puts you exactly where you should be — on the water, glass in hand, with nowhere else to be.

Classic routes cruise the west-facing coasts — Simpson Bay toward the point, the Bay of Marigot, or the anchorages of St. Barts — with a swim stop before the light peaks. Sunset availability varies by yacht and is confirmed when you inquire.

Good to know

Sunset Cruises — FAQ

What is a sunset yacht cruise?

A private late-afternoon charter timed around the setting sun — typically two to three hours of coastal cruising, a swim stop, drinks and music as the sky changes. It is the most romantic format we offer.

Which coastlines are best for sunset?

The west-facing coasts catch the evening light: Simpson Bay and the Dutch side's southwest, the Bay of Marigot and the French side's west, and the anchorages of St. Barts looking back at the island. Your captain positions the yacht for the best light on the day.

Which yachts offer sunset cruises?

Sunset availability depends on the individual yacht's schedule and arrangement — we do not imply sunset charters are available on every vessel. Tell us your date and we will confirm which yachts can take you out for golden hour.

Are drinks included on a sunset cruise?

Bar arrangements vary by yacht. Blue Devil's supplied information describes a well-stocked bar on day charters; sunset-specific inclusions are confirmed per vessel in your written quotation.

Can we swim on a sunset cruise?

Usually yes — a late-afternoon swim stop before the golden hour is part of the classic plan, conditions permitting. The captain chooses a calm, sheltered spot.

Is a sunset cruise good for a proposal?

It is our most requested occasion for proposals — private deck, Caribbean sunset, champagne on ice. Tell us your plan in the inquiry and the crew will help stage the moment discreetly. See our celebrations page for more.

What happens if the weather is cloudy?

Caribbean sunsets surprise — broken cloud often produces the most dramatic skies. If conditions are genuinely unsuitable, the captain discusses alternatives; rescheduling and cancellation terms are provided with your quotation.

How many guests fit on a sunset cruise?

From two to the yacht's certified limit — 13 on Blue Devil. Intimate sunset cruises for couples are as common as group celebrations; the price is per charter, not per person.

Can a sunset cruise include dinner?

On some yachts, yes — light dinner service at anchor as the light fades is a beautiful option. Catering possibilities are confirmed per yacht when you inquire.

How do we book a sunset cruise?

Send your date, group size and preferred departure area through the inquiry form, or call +1 (305) 515-4735. We confirm which yachts are available for your evening and quote in writing.
