Private 2-Hour Sunset Charters
A Surfside Charters sunset cruise is a private two-hour evening sail in Grand Cayman for your group alone.

Choose Your Horizon
Your captain picks the route with you, based on the wind, the season’s sunset angle and the mood you are after.
Thirty-five square miles of calm, reef-sheltered water with long, open views to the horizon. Smooth and relaxed — the most comfortable choice on a breezy evening.
Glide through the channel that separates Booby Quay from Grand Cayman’s Central Wetlands, with mangroves, birdlife and still water reflecting the sky. The quietest, most natural side of the island.
An unobstructed view of the sun setting into the open sea — and your best chance of seeing the Green Flash, the moment the last sliver of sun appears to flash green for a second or two. It happens more often than people think.
Your Evening
A fresh fruit platter, light snacks, water and soda are included with every Surfside charter. Bring your own wine or bubbles, or order drinks through our catering partners for delivery to the boat. Ask about catering or a private chef (72 hours’ notice) if you would like dinner on board.

Choose Your Yacht
Both boats run private sunset trips. The choice comes down to group size and whether you want to sail.
Up to 30 guests
The classic sunset sail. When the wind allows, the crew raises the sails for a quiet, smooth ride. Plenty of room to spread out from the flybridge daybed to the aft deck — ideal for celebrations and groups.
Up to 10 guests
Our most affordable sunset option at US$750. Sleek and intimate for couples and small groups, with the speed to reach the route with the best view that evening.
Made for the Moment
Privacy, a golden sky and nobody else on board. Tell us the plan in advance and the crew will help with the timing and any extras.
An intimate evening on the water — one of the most memorable things to do in Grand Cayman as a couple.
A relaxed alternative to another restaurant dinner. Bamboozled takes up to 30 guests for parties and corporate evenings.
Your Crew
Surfside Charters is family owned and Caymanian crewed, and every trip is private: the boat, captain and crew are yours for the whole charter. Our captains and crew hold professional qualifications covering captain credentials, first aid, CPR, marine radio and safety training, alongside PADI experience and years of local knowledge of the North Sound.
Away From the Crowds
Most Grand Cayman sunset cruises stay close to the busy western shoreline. A private sunset cruise with Surfside Charters can take you somewhere quieter: the North Sound and the waterways around it, where open water, mangroves and small cays give the evening a peaceful, distinctly Caymanian feel.
From the water there are no buildings on the horizon and no hunting for space on a busy beach. You watch the light move across the Caribbean Sea as the sky shifts through gold, orange, pink and violet. Every evening is different, and a few clouds often make the display more dramatic by catching the last of the light.
Your Cayman sunset cruise lasts about two hours: enough time to settle aboard, cruise the sound and watch the sun go down without turning the evening into a long excursion. The North Sound covers roughly 35 square miles of sheltered water, so your captain can choose a comfortable, scenic route around the wind, the season and the sunset time that day.
Depending on the weather and your preferences, your captain may follow the Mangrove Channel, which separates Booby Quay from Grand Cayman’s Central Wetlands, and continue toward the Little Sound. Mangroves frame much of the route, the water is calm, and you may see birdlife and long reflections across the sheltered water as the light fades. The mangroves are a vital part of Cayman’s ecosystem, and seeing them from a boat gives you a side of the island most visitors miss.
Rather than running the same circuit every night, your crew considers:
Bamboozled is a 56-foot Lagoon sailing catamaran with broad, stable decks and plenty of seating, so guests can choose their own spot: up front in the breeze, on the shaded flybridge, or in a sheltered corner for conversation. It suits mixed groups, because everyone shares the evening without being crowded together. For two to eight guests, Mojito Majic, our 38-foot Intrepid, is a faster and more affordable way to catch the same sunset.
A sunset charter can be simple and peaceful or planned around something special. A fresh fruit platter, chips, water and soda are included; cheese and charcuterie platters are available on request, and you are welcome to bring your own wine, champagne or drinks. Bluetooth music means the soundtrack is yours. It helps to tell us in advance:
Often the best evening in Grand Cayman is the simplest one: good company, open water and a front-row seat for the sunset. Check sunset availability or ask us about your date.
Before You Book
About two hours. That is enough time to cruise out, enjoy a drink and a snack, watch the sunset and return without committing the whole evening. Extra hours can be added.
Usually around 4:30 or 5:30pm depending on the season, departing from Camana Bay. Sunset times change through the year, so we recommend the best start time for your date when you book.
US$750 for the whole boat on Mojito Majic (up to 10 guests) or US$2,300 on Bamboozled (up to 30 guests). Prices are per boat for two hours, not per person.
A private boat with captain and crew, a fresh fruit platter, light snacks, bottled water and soda, towels and Bluetooth music. Surfside doesn’t sell alcohol: bring your own, or order drinks through our catering partners; catering or a private chef (72 hours’ notice) can be added.
Yes — it is one of our most popular reasons to book. Let us know in advance and the crew will help you plan the timing and any extras, and keep the secret.
It is never guaranteed, but it happens more often than most people expect. Your best chance is a clear horizon, which is why many guests choose the Seven Mile Beach route.
