Montauk Fun Cruise

A Little Fun Cruise History

The Fun Cruises of old were not considered happy hours as the term wasn’t used as a party reference, but to describe a type of shopping trip. Originally, people took brief excursions—or “Fun Cruises”— across the English Channel to buy inexpensive supplies in bulk, including alcohol and tobacco. Think Costco of the 1920’s, with very similar boxes for transporting from location to location. Needless to say, Fun cruises in modern Montauk NY 11954 look very different.

Today a Fun Cruise in Montauk is All About Pleasure

Leaving the house for a Fun Cruise today means time to chill on the lake with some chilled Chardonnay or have a cool dip and a cold beer while breathing in the fresh Montauk air. Taking a private charter, whether it’s sailing in a catamaran, cruising in a mega-yacht, or another type of boat, is like creating your own personal island oasis for a few perfect hours.

Skip The Crowded Tours

Opt for a Yacht Hampton Boat Charter on one of the best new boats in the Montauk area. Sure, there are a number of tours at the dock taking groups to Montauk Lake or Sag Harbor, but even the most popular tours and an attractive offer can’t beat a private charter boat cruise around the bay with your group of new or old friends and family.

Book Ahead of Time

The best private charters include a certified captain who knows all the areas to cruise around Montauk Harbor, Montauk Lake, Sag Harbor, and Shelter Island—and they’re always in demand, especially during summer. A seasoned captain can sail you to private lagoons and islands where you can bring your food and beverages, have a leisurely picnic, and even lose yourself in a book for a few hours while sipping a glass of wine.

Or you can take a little snooze on your Fun Cruise. That’s the beauty (along with the beautiful scenery) of private cruises vs. tours; your hours are your own. And you don’t want to waste a minute of this special time, so don’t wait. Private cruises go fast!

Fishing for What To Do?

Once you’re onboard away from the dock, you can take your speedboat, catamaran, or whichever type of boat you’ve chartered and sail off to do any number of fun things on the water. Fishing is a relaxing way to spend your hours as Montauk is well known for its waters full of American cod, striped bass, albacore and eel just waiting to come aboard. But be careful that a Mako Shark doesn’t chomp its mouth around your line; Montauk is well known for them too.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry With Water Toys

Whether you’re sipping cocktails on one of your afternoon charters or world-famous Montauk Harbor sunset cruises, it’s always a blast to take time out of your sailing hours for some old fashioned—or super techno-modern— play time.

Ever heard of a floating Island?

Yacht Hampton boat charters features a floating island of toys where private cruise guests can navigate an electric surfboard, zoom on a SEABOB, or sail into the sunset on a wicked wave board run. An island of toys is one place on the map where you’ll want to be stranded for longer than a one-time sailing adventure. Don’t worry, that floating island will be waiting for you.

The Ultimate Sunset Cruise

It really is as if boat cruises in Montauk were invented for sunset cruises. Dusk in The Hamptons, particularly in Montauk, is so spectacular it’s enough to make you pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate the natural beauty you see from your boat.

Shelter Island or Cedar Island, It’s All Good

Take a sunset cruise to shelter island. Take a sunset cruise to Sag Harbor. Take a sunset cruise anywhere close to Montauk and you will understand immediately why sunset tours book as fast as Montauk’s finest hotels and restaurants.

Whether it’s an afternoon boat ride, or a sunset cruise, anytime is a perfect time to make a toast to majestic, unforgettable Montauk. Cheers.
