End your day on the water with one of the most unforgettable experiences the Outer Banks has to offer, a sunset sailing cruise aboard the Downeast Rover.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the Roanoke Sound transforms into a canvas of color. With the breeze in the sails and the water reflecting the sky, it’s the perfect way to slow down and take it all in.
An OBX Sunset Like No Other
The OBX has been voted by USA Today as the 5th best location in the United States to watch a sunset. Join us for a leisurely sound cruise to witness a spectacular site.
What to Expect
Each sunset sail is designed to be relaxing, intimate, and memorable offering:
- Approximately 2-hour sailing experience (Departure times vary according to season.)
- Small group setting (up to 25 guests)
- Smooth sailing through protected sound waters
- Departure times vary based on the season to align with sunset
As you sail, you may spot dolphins in the water, watch birds glide across the sky, and take in views of Roanoke Island and the surrounding Outer Banks.
There is a limit set by the US Coast Guard of a max of 25 people for each tour. Everyone is counted in this total including children, infants, and seniors. We need six people to sign up for each tour or we will have to cancel the tour for that time period.
Bring Your Favorite Drinks & Snacks
Sunset sails are even better when you make them your own.
Adults are encouraged to bring a beverage of choice to toast the end of a special day or special occasion. Ice and cups are provided!
