About Your Trip

Wind down your day in the most unforgettable way with Captain Donny’s 2-Hour Private Sunset Cruise. This serene trip offers front-row views of the Chesapeake Bay, Lynnhaven River, and the Atlantic Ocean, all bathed in golden light as the sun dips below the horizon. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want to soak up the beauty of coastal Virginia, this is your moment to relax and take it all in.

You’ll cruise aboard a fully restored 26’ Glacier Bay, built for smooth sailing and intimate gatherings of up to 6 guests. Outfitted with sundecks, a marine head, ice box, and a sound system, the vessel provides a perfect blend of comfort and class for your evening on the water.

The ideal departure time is 1 to 1.5 hours before sunset, giving you the perfect window to watch the sky shift from brilliant blues to fiery oranges and soft purples. Bring your favorite drinks—glass bottles welcome—and enjoy optional snacks as you glide past marshes, canals, and open water with the soundtrack of waves and seabirds in the background.

Whether you're looking for a romantic evening, peaceful family outing, or a quiet way to end your beach day, Captain Donny’s Sunset Cruise is the perfect escape. Just show up with your camera and your favorite drink—the views will take care of the rest.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
