Sunset Cruise Charleston South Carolina

What to Bring on a Sunset Cruise?

If you are at all worried about an unsettled tummy from being on the water, we highly recommend bringing a snack. An empty stomach can morph into an upset stomach. Consider bringing something filling such as flatbread and hummus. 

As the sun goes down, it can get chilly on the water. We recommend bringing something extra you can put on. That being said, Om offers a large covered cockpit where you comfortably sit in a protected area shielded from the wind while still watching the sparkling lights of the city drift by. 

What will happen on a Sunset Cruise

Upon arrival, our captains will greet you, introduce themselves, and welcome you aboard the vessel. You will be given a brief orientation of the boat. They will help you get seated comfortably aboard so you can relax while the boat prepares to depart from the dock. 

Our captains will pilot the boat and handle the sails, however as an honored guest, you are welcome to take the helm or assist with raising and trimming the sails. Upon leaving the marina, there are a variety of paths we might take through the harbor depending on the wind direction, current, and your interests. Sightseeing includes: USS Yorktown, a +800′ aircraft carrier from World War 2, the beautiful Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, The Battery, and possibly even Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.

As we sail throughout Charleston Harbor, the sun will slowly sink to the horizon and the twilight sky will burst into surreal colors. As the colors fade, the stars, planets, and moon will make their first appearances in the night sky as we sail up the cooper river with the sparkling Ravenel Bridge in view.
