Private 4-Hour Extended Sunset

Powerboat Cruise in Casco Bay

This Experience allows you to extend the 2 hour Sunset Cruise to 4 hours. Nearly all of our guests that select a 2-hour cruise at the end of the experience tell us they wish they would have booked at 4-hour trip, so you might want to consider this option!

Experience the magic of a Casco Bay sunset like never before on our Private Extended Sunset Powerboat Cruise aboard Avelinda. This exclusive four-hour afternoon/evening adventure departs from Portland or South Portland, offering breathtaking views of the bay as the sky transforms into a masterpiece of color.

As the sun dips below the ocean’s endless expanse of horizon, the waters of Portland Harbor and Casco Bay transform into a breathtaking display of golden hues and vibrant colors, offering an unforgettable way to end your day on the Maine coast. Each sunset is unique, different and so so beautiful!

Relax and unwind as we cruise past historic lighthouses, secluded islands, and scenic harbors, all bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. Along the way, you’ll see iconic landmarks such as Portland Head Light, Spring Point Ledge Light, and Ram Island Ledge Light, providing perfect photo opportunities as they illuminate against the twilight sky.

As the daylight fades, keep an eye out for harbor seals lounging on the rocks, porpoises surfacing in the calm waters, and seabirds gliding overhead. With an extended itinerary, you’ll have extra time to soak in the beauty of Casco Bay, explore more remote areas, or even a leisurely picnic.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or simply looking for a peaceful way to soak in the beauty of Maine’s crown jewel, it’s coastline, this private extended sunset cruise offers a front-row seat to nature’s grand finale.

We also offer the option to explore many of the islands in Casco Bay. If you are interested in this option please call us as we need to arrange to bring a dingy with us to get from the boat to islands in many cases.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or simply embracing the beauty of Maine’s coast, this sunset cruise promises an unforgettable journey on the water.
