Sunset Cruise
Sunset cruises will depart before sunset and return to the dock just after sunset. Bring your own food and beverage if you desire however all liquids should be in a solo type of cup to avoid glass. These trips will cruise the Eastport coastline between Lubec and Deer Island.
Most sunset cruises are targeted to be at least 1 and a half hours.

Sunset Boat Cruise from Eastport, Maine
There's something about watching the sun drop below the water that makes the end of a day feel complete. Our sunset boat cruise aboard the Delkin gives you exactly that experience, without any of the planning or guesswork. Captain Kinny Corthell handles the timing, the route, and the best vantage point, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the ride.
How the Trip Works
This cruise departs from the Eastport Breakwater and runs about an hour and a half. Once you're aboard, you can pick a direction to explore, or simply leave it up to the captain, who knows the local waters well enough to find the right spot at the right moment. Along the way, you'll pass quiet coves, working waterfront, and open bay before settling in to watch the sky change color as the light fades.
​
Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks for the trip. There's no set menu or service here, just an open invitation to bring whatever makes the evening feel right, whether that's a simple snack or a full picnic spread.
Timing the Perfect Moment
Because the goal of the trip is the sunset itself, departure times shift with the season. In summer, that might mean a later evening start; in early fall, it could mean heading out a bit sooner. The captain adjusts the schedule so the boat is in position for the best light, then heads back to the dock as dusk settles in.
Fares are $75 for adults and $65 for guests under 12.
Why Book This Over a Daytime Tour
A daytime scenic tour shows you the coastline, the wildlife, and the working waterfront in full light. This trip is a different kind of experience altogether, quieter, slower, and built around a single moment rather than a full itinerary. It's a favorite for couples, small groups, and anyone who wants a relaxed evening on the water without a long time commitment.
Booking and Cancellation Policy
Because timing is everything on this trip, we recommend booking a few days ahead, especially during peak summer months. Cancellations made more than 48 hours before departure are fully refunded. For anything closer to the trip, give us a call directly to talk through your options.
