Private Hilton Head Sunset Sailing Tour with Dolphin Watching
Description
This 2 hour Private Sunset Sail, the Captain will take you (and up to 6 people) to Port Royal Sound (North side of island - generally best conditions for sailing). During Sunset, This is generally still pretty breezy with some good sailing. Perfect way to wind down and enjoy the ending of a great day. We will take the sails down to peacefully enjoy the beautiful show of an amazing Hilton Head Sunset. After the sun sets, we motor back to the marina and usually dock right around last light for the day. Sunset tours are usually full of wildlife such as dolphins, birds, sting ray and manatee which are some of the great wildlife that are often very prevalent in the evening. You will also have some great scenic views of Hilton Head, Pickney island and Parris island to mention a few. All of our sail trips we encourage our guests to be as involved in the sailing process as they would like. If you would instead like a relaxing trip, we then encourage you to relax and let the crew do the work.

Our sunset sailing tour with Captain Paul and first mate Dave on “Seas the Moment” was the highlight of our annual family reunion! The sailboat was absolutely stunning, as was the orange sunset. The children enjoyed taking the wheel and our son helped Dave with the sails! Communication before the trip was excellent. The entire experience was carried out in a knowledgeable and professional way. We highly recommend this phenomenal experience! Thanks Paul!
My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary here! Our captain and crew were incredible and made this a memorable experience for the both of us. We hope to come back and do it again!
It was a lovely evening. Captain Paul did a fabulous job. He was very informative about the boat and provided excellent information about the Hilton Head region. Highly recommend the sunset cruise.
Thank you for this great review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your sunset sail with us, and we look forward to sailing with you again soon!
We had a great sail last night. The Captain and crew were great. They were friendly and accommodating. The boat was well kept and comfortable. They let me help sail a little and were a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna and sailing. We can’t wait to go again!
Roger, thank you for this great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sail with us, and we can't wait to sail again with you as well!
We had the best experience with our family!! Our crew was amazing entertaining and experienced! They even let us steer! It was a beautiful sunset and we saw dolphins swimming beside us. It was magical! Thank y'all so much!
Vanessa, Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sunset sail with us and we look forward to sailing again with you and your family!
We do this every year we come down and we are never disappointed! This year we saw four or five different pods of dolphins and the most extraordinary sunset! And David tells the most interesting stories! I must do every year with our Tennis girls!
Thank you for your great review and for being a valuable customer. We love having you guys on board, and we look forward to sailing with you again soon!
This was our 2nd year using Anchors Away. Our experience this year was very different, but just as much fun. We were "upgraded" to the larger sailboat. As there was no wind the day we went out, Captain Paul said that was a better boat for motor sailing. (The sails never went up, but that was OK) His son, Pierce, was our crew. What a great kid!!! He had us laughing the entire trip. We saw a TON of dolphins. But, no sunset, as it was pretty cloudy. Last year, we saw no dolphins, but had an amazing sunset. We will definitely be using Anchors Away again.
Thank you for the great review. We are very glad you had a great time, apart from the lack of wind. I will let Pierce see your comments as I know he will be happy to hear that. We certainly look forward to sailing with you again soon for round #3 - hopefully with all three, great winds, great sunsets, and an abundance of wildlife and dolphins!
We sailed with Captain Paul and Daniel for a lovely sunset trip. The communication before the trip was top-notch: We knew exactly where to go, how to get there, and what would happen in case of inclement weather. Praise God, the morning rain cleared by late afternoon and our sunset sail went beautifully. It was an amazing break from the summer on-island humidity! Captain Paul and Daniel were courteous, helpful, and full of interesting information about sailing and the Hilton Head area. They allowed us to try our hands at raising the sails and steering the sailboat, and explained how the boat's mechanisms can make both tasks easier. We got an education in both nature and sailing at the same time. Make sure you ask about great white sharks in the Hilton Head area! Seas the Moment is an amazing craft and the below-deck area is impressively spacious and well-designed. I was astonished at how cleverly 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen were tucked into the hull. I had wistful thoughts about chartering an overnight trip to Charleston. (That may remain just a "what-if" given Captain Paul's tale of 15-20 foot seas during the inaugural journey north from Miami. I'm not that sturdy of a sailor!) Our sunset sailing trip was very peaceful, and was a highlight of our week at Hilton Head. I'm looking forward to sailing with them again during future trips to the island. Thanks again, Captain Paul and Daniel!
Wow, thank you for the wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sunset sail with us. We only run multiday trips with good weather conditions (just FYI) and would love to sail again soon locally or on a multi-day trip to Charleston!
Captain Paul and first mate David went above and beyond to make our 33rd anniversary one to remember for a lifetime. The trip involved helping create a surprise for my wife that required coordination in advance and Captain Paul pulled it off flawlessly! Plus he helped immortalize the evening by photographing/videoing the surprise very privately. “Seas the Moment” is a beautiful, comfortable boat and the sunset views were astounding, helping to put an exclamation point on the perfect evening! I cannot recommend this trip enough. Much better than the more “canned” tours on the other side of the island. At one point we were the only boat anywhere in sight. Thanks again Captain Paul for everything you did to make our anniversary perfect!!
Joe, Wow, thank you for the great review! We were honored that you chose us to help you with your anniversary surprise and were happy to help in any way possible. Happy anniversary, and we look forward to sailing again soon with both of you when your back in town!
A great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed. Captain Paul was wonderful in sharing his knowledge of the area and the waters. The sunset was beautiful. Highly recommend and we look forward to doing it again.
Debra, Thank you for the great review. We are very glad you enjoyed your sunset sail with us and we look forward to sailing again soon with you!
