About Your Trip

Set sail into golden hour with Raphael’s Sunset Sailing Cruise—Catalina Island’s most romantic and unforgettable evening adventure. Our signature 2.5-hour sunset sail takes you along the stunning East End of Catalina, where the sun melts into the Pacific and the island cliffs are bathed in warm light. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, birthday, anniversary, or just want to savor a beautiful evening on the water, this cruise offers the perfect backdrop.

Cruise in style aboard a brand-new 2022 Catalina 385—a sleek, 38-foot sailing yacht designed for comfort, elegance, and smooth sailing. With plenty of room both inside and out, you’ll have space to stretch out, toast to the moment, and enjoy the island breeze. The spacious cockpit features a gorgeous hardwood dining table, ideal for sipping wine and enjoying bites from your included charcuterie plate as you glide along the coast. A Bose stereo system fills the air with your favorite music, adding to the ambiance.

Inside, the boat is just as impressive—with a full galley, a roomy refrigerator, changing rooms, a restroom with a shower, and plush seating throughout. And if you're in the mood for a refreshing dip, the built-in swim step and freshwater rinse make it easy to hop in and enjoy the crystal-clear waters.

Beer, wine, and champagne are all included—just bring your sense of adventure and let the sunset do the rest. This private sailing experience is perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking for an intimate and luxurious way to enjoy Catalina Island.

Join us for an evening of pure magic. Whether you're capturing the moment with photos or simply soaking in the serenity, a sunset sail with Raphael is an experience you won’t soon forget.

Hands-off

I’ve been sailing for over 45 years and have always loved both racing and cruising. I really enjoy spending time with people on the water and under sail so being a sailboat charter captain is a dream come true. Catalina Island is so beautiful, full of wildlife and has such a rich history it makes the ultimate setting for my tours.
