SUNSET Trips and Experiences
Join Captain Steve and the crew of Alyosha for a trip that very intentionally skips the Atlantic Ocean and stays in the flat, calm Sinepuxent Bay west of Assateague Island. No need for dramamine on this trip, as Alyosha provides a very stable platform for couples, friends and/or families to enjoy some time on the water. Lounge on the trampolines or one of the many comfortable seating options- there is plenty of room for everyone!
We offer this trip for anyone who is longing to get out on Alyosha- the 50' catamaran sailing out of Ocean City, Maryland during the summer- but is concerned about getting seasick out on the ocean. Alyosha will slowly glide along the channel, potentially affording a view of Assateague's wild ponies, under diesel power for the entirety of this journey. (we might try to get the sails up, but this will depend on the time and wind direction!)
You will watch the sun melt into the marsh along the west bank of the Sinepuxent and then be treated to a magnificent view of OC's night time skyline as we return to port. Bring your camera!
Note on Birthdays and Anniversaries:
One of the great surprises of our first year of operations was how many people decided to celebrate their anniversaries and/or birthdays with us! (There were a few weddings and a proposal as well...)
Let us know if you are celebrating something with your cruise: We now have anniversary and birthday flags- complete with a nautical number set- that we hope you will consider raising during the sail.
Take in a Sunset on a spacious, 50' sailing catamaran!
Newly revamped in 2025, our "Sunset Cruise on Alyosha" is one of our most popular trips and is the perfect cap to your adventurous day in OC - or the start of your date night! Cruise on Alyosha, a 50ft sailing Catamaran, out into either the Atlantic Ocean for a beautiful view of the sun setting on Ocean City or take in the fantastic scenery behind Assateague Island and watch the sun melt into the marshland. Either way, your pictures will be brilliant and you will have great time!
Each night, our captain will make the decision about whether the ocean or bay will make for the better voyage, keeping your comfort "top-of-mind." On the morning of your trip, you can check our website to see which way we are leaning (Ocean or Bay) weather-wise. Sunset cruises are an opportunity to unwind, and enjoy our natural surroundings. And whether your sunset is on the perfectly flat bay or a calm and gentle ocean, you are in for a treat! Additionally this year, the sunset cruise will be extended to offer a bit more time on Alyosha, generally ending with sunset and lasting 75-80 minutes.
Watch the sun set on Ocean City from the Atlantic Ocean as you glide along the coastline under sail. Lounge on the trampoline or enjoy any of the other excellent seating options that this 50' boat has available. This is a "must do" experience in Ocean City!
