I had the pleasure of embarking on a captivating sunset cruise with Sand City Charter, setting sail from the scenic Huntington Harbor. The experience was nothing short of magical, offering breathtaking views and an unparalleled sense of serenity. Allow me to share the details of this mesmerizing journey.

As the 23’ Hydra-sports Center Console departed from Huntington Harbor, the anticipation built amongst the passengers. The gentle sway of the boat and the refreshing sea breeze set the tone for what was to become an unforgettable evening. The setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange, pink, and purple, providing a picturesque backdrop as we ventured into the heart of Lloyd Harbor.

Lloyd Harbor, known for its magnificent homes and pristine natural beauty, was our first glimpse into the luxurious lifestyles that line these waters. Each property, grander than the last, seemed to tell a story of elegance and tranquility. The reflection of the sunset on the calm waters added a surreal quality to the view, making it seem as if we were sailing through a living painting.

The cruise then guided us towards Huntington Bay, where the panoramic vistas of the bay left everyone aboard in awe. The play of colors in the sky as the sun dipped lower created a stunning contrast against the silhouette of the yachts and homes along the shore. The serene atmosphere was a reminder of nature's ability to create the most exquisite scenes.

The final leg of our cruise took us past Northports beachfront properties, where the true charm of Long Island’s North Shore was on full display. The sight of the historic Vanderbilt Mansion from the water was a highlight, offering a glimpse into the area's rich history and opulent past. As the light began to fade, the mansion’s lights began to twinkle like stars, adding a touch of glamour to the already impressive landscape. The quaint, yet luxurious homes overlooking the water, combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding beaches and greenery, provided a tranquil end to our journey.

Throughout the cruise, Captain Gaige of Sand City Charter ensured that every guest felt welcomed and comfortable listening to our favorite music adding to the overall warmth of the experience. As the boat made its way back to Huntington Harbor, I found myself reflecting on the beauty and peace encountered during the cruise. It was an evening of simple pleasures—stunning views, gentle breezes, and the company of fellow travelers sharing in the wonder of it all.

A sunset cruise with Sand City Charter is more than just a trip on the water; it’s an opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Long Island's waterfront. Bring your towels and bathing suits because we may just anchor up near a private island for an evening dip in calm waters.  If you're looking for a unique way to experience the area's natural and architectural beauty, I highly recommend booking a journey with them. It's an experience that captures the essence of coastal living and leaves you with memories that last a lifetime.
