Sunset Sail Martha's Vineyard

An intentionally relaxed evening sail to experience the Vineyard’s most beautiful hours.

Take a couple of hours to be fully present with nature’s farewell to the day on our sunset cruise Martha's Vineyard style. 


This 2-hour sailing charter is our most requested experience — and for good reason.   Day sails aboard Phoenix can be lively and adventurous, but our sunset sail Martha’s Vineyard experience is intentionally different. Sunset is a time to slow down, sip a glass of wine, and quietly watch the sky change as the island settles into evening. 


There is only one sunset each day on Martha’s Vineyard, and there is no better way to experience it than under sail on the water.  Whether you're joining us for a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a peaceful evening, guests often tell us their Martha's Vineyard sunset sail becomes the most memorable moments of their visit. We might be a little biased, but we think ours is the best sunset cruise Martha's Vineyard has to offer. Fortunately, you don’t have to take our word for it — our 5-star TripAdvisor reviews agree. Read on to explore our private and public sunset sails and discover the experience that’s right for you.

 Have you ever noticed that sunsets can look different in every corner of the world — deeper reds and oranges in the Caribbean, soft lavenders and violets around Cape Cod, or even brilliant blues lighting the horizon. Wherever the colors fall, a sunset cruise Martha's Vineyard style is something truly special.


From the water, the experience becomes even more magical. A Martha's Vineyard sunset sail invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment as the light fades across the harbor.

Our private sunset sails are intentionally calm, relaxed, and unhurried. Designed as a low-key and romantic experience, a sunset sail Martha's Vineyard style is perfect for couples and special celebrations alike.


Celebrating something special? From Cape Cod elopements to birthdays, anniversaries, or even Martha’s Vineyard weddings and marriage proposals, we’ve got you covered. A Martha's Vineyard sunset cruise provides an unforgettable setting for your special evening.

A champagne toast to another beautiful sunset cruise on Martha's Vineyard

Our island is known for its beautiful coastline, and a Martha's Vineyard sunset cruise is among the classic things to do on Martha's Vineyard. Watching the day fade from the water is a simple pleasure that never gets old.
