Event offers and packages
Package per person
Golden hour sun glistening off glass skyscrapers and rippling waters… The views of Philadelphia from the Delaware river at sunset are breathtaking.
Our captain will take you on a leisurely cruise North past the Ben Franklin Bridge to take a look at Cherry Street and Race Street piers from the water. We'll continue toward Graffiti Pier and a view of the ever evolving public art.
Depending on the winds and tides our captain will deploy the sails and head back South past Petty Island where you can observe wildlife and natural vegetation on this storied island in the middle of the Delaware river. We will ease the main and take a relaxing look at the sunset as we gently glide through some of the best views in the city.
