Overview

Mobile ticket

Our sunset cruises take in amazing sunsets while cruising though Newport Bay and along the Newport Beach Gold Coast. Newport Bay is the largest recreational bay on the West Coast as well as the largest natural bay. During each cruise, hundreds of yachts, sailing ships, and cruise ships navigate the harbor and create a festive boating experience. While taking in the sights enjoy a full bar with all your favorite drinks. As the sun sets see bon fires glistening from the sand set to the backdrop of brilliant skyline lighting up the Newport Beach coastline. Soon your back inside the bay and what has only seemed a few minutes is in fact the entire cruise as the ship returns to dock. Cruises are 90 minutes in length.

*Departure times after 7:30pm are considered our evening cruises

My husband and I try to see a sunset every location we visit and this was also one to be seen. Though a little chilly it was worth it!!!

It would have help if there was someone explaining what we were seeing. Instead of us not knowing what we were seeing.
Beautiful sunset

We saw a beautiful sunset on our cruise around the bay. We loved floating around the islands and loved seeing all the coves and beaches in the area.
We knew what to expect and it was all of that and more. The sunset views were spectacular. It was calm and so relaxed!

We enjoyed an hour and half ride that was so amazing. The sunset was breathtaking. All the descriptions prepared us for little narration but we just took in the sights. Saw a sea lion swimming and my 2 teens thought it was perfect!
Sunset, moon, weather and what we spotted was perfect.

Just a nice cruise around the bay and into the Pacific for a bit. We were lucky enough to have about a dozen dolphins swimming and playing around the boat. It was amazing. Don’t expect much narration, just good music, good drinks and good scenery. Great way to end the day!
Beautiful evening and view, with polite staff. The only improvement I would suggest would be a little narration throughout the
