Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the sunset cruise?

A: No age limit! The sunset cruise is open to all ages, so it's perfect for families. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need to stay close to you since the boat can sway a bit at times. Also, remember to pack some blankets since it can get chilly out on the water as the sun goes down.

Q: What should we wear for the cruise? Is it cold out there at sunset?

A: Definitely bring layers! It can get a bit chilly on the water, especially as the sun sets. I'd suggest a light sweater or jacket and maybe some comfy shoes. The boat provides lap blankets, but you’ll want to dress warmly to enjoy the views without shivering!

Q: Can snacks and drinks be brought on the boat? What do people usually bring?

A: Yes! You can bring any food and drinks you'd like, which is great. A lot of folks bring cheese, crackers, and some wine to sip while watching the sunset. Just remember to pack it in a cooler since there's a fridge on board to keep things fresh!

Just got back from the sunset cruise in Portland! Amazing experience!

I recently went on the sunset cruise aboard the Avelinda and it was absolutely breathtaking. We saw seals and the Portland Head Light just as the sun was dipping below the horizon. With only six of us on the boat, it felt super intimate and special. The captain shared so many cool stories about the area. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone looking for a unique gift experience or just a perfect evening out!

Considering the sunset cruise as a gift — any tips?

I’m thinking about gifting the sunset cruise to my parents for their anniversary. They love the coast and I think they’d really enjoy the intimate setting. Anyone have tips for making it extra special or suggestions on what to bring?
