❦

A sunset cruise is the simplest way to see Vancouver at its best: a private yacht, your own guests, and a route timed so the light does the work.

IWhy Sail at Sunset

The hour when the city slows down and the water turns gold.

Sunset is the most requested charter window for a reason. The heat of the day eases, the harbour quiets, and the skyline, bridges, and North Shore mountains all shift colour as the light drops.

Ocean Wave plans the departure around the actual sunset time for your date, so the cruise builds toward golden hour instead of chasing it. Stay out past dusk and the route can finish under city lights along False Creek.

  • ✓Departure planned around the sunset time for your date
  • ✓Private vessel with no shared passengers
  • ✓Covered seating for cooler evenings
  • ✓Easy handoff into a dinner reservation onshore

Two ways to spend golden hour on the water.

The right format depends on how many guests are coming and whether the evening should feel laid-back or more polished.

A quiet evening for two or a small group, with champagne and the sunset as the backdrop for a moment that matters.

A relaxed way to show out-of-town guests Stanley Park, English Bay, and the skyline in one easy evening.

IVWhat Is Included

Everything needed for an easy evening on the water.

Sunset charters are about timing and comfort, so the practical details are handled before you step aboard.

Licensed Captain & Fuel

Navigation, routing, and fuel are included so pricing stays clear.

Sunset-Timed Departure

We plan the departure around the sunset time for your date so golden hour lands mid-cruise.

Food & Drink Flexibility

Bring your own wine and snacks, or ask about catering coordination.

Weather Planning

Covered seating on both vessels and a check-in before the charter if conditions look uncertain.

VSunset Questions

What guests usually ask before booking a sunset cruise.

If your evening needs something more specific, send the plan and we can shape the charter around it.

What time do sunset cruises depart?

It depends on the date. Vancouver sunsets range from late afternoon in winter to after 9 pm in midsummer, so we set the departure time once your date is confirmed.

What happens if it is cloudy or raining?

Both vessels have covered seating, and cloudy evenings often produce strong colour. If conditions are unsafe, we will contact you to reschedule.

Can we bring champagne or plan a proposal onboard?

Yes. Champagne, flowers, and small proposal setups work well onboard. Share the plan ahead of time and we can help time the moment.

Is this a good option before a night out downtown?

Yes. Many groups use the charter as the highlight of the day and dock with enough time to transition into dinner or nightlife nearby.

How far ahead should we book a summer sunset cruise?

Summer weekend sunset slots are the first to fill. Enquire as early as possible if you have a specific date in mind.
