During the warm summer evenings we specialize in sunset cruises from our dock in Marblehead to Kelleys Island. From 1 hour Sunset Cruises to Kelleys Island Excursions and customizable trips, we have something that suits everyone. Some of the most beautiful sunsets are seen from the waters between Marblehead and Kelleys Island. It is amazing to see the progression of the setting sun as we cross the lake. The pictures below were taken in succession returning from Kelleys Island on a Dock and Dine Cruise on July 16, 2013.

Only available Monday thru Thursday and cannot be reserved more than 1 week in advance. 

Sunset Cruise - 1 Hour: Leave the dock 1 hour prior to sundown.  Cruise 1 mile into Lake Erie and drift for a half hr while you enjoy the beautiful unobstructed views of Kelleys Island, Put in Bay, Marblehead Peninsula, and the falling sun as it disappears in Lake Erie. Return to the dock just as dusk sets in.

Sightseeing and Sunset Cruise - 2 Hours: Leave the dock 2 hours prior to sundown. Cruise past the Lakeside Pier on to Downtown Marblehead and the Lafarge Gravel Dock, off to the Marblehead Lighthouse at the end of the Peninsula to get a great view of Cedar Points Roller Coasters.  Watch the sun fall as we drift silently in open water and return just as dusk sets in.

Fishing and Sunset Cruise - 2 Hours: Leave the dock 2 hours prior to sundown. Only a short ride into Lake Erie we will arrive at my favorite evening spot, Short Reef. We will drift fish for walleye, bass, or whatever is hungry.  Rod, reel, and bait provided. You may bring your own fishing gear, check our fishing section for more information.

Kellys Island Dock and Dine Sunset Cruise - 4 Hours: Sunday - Friday only. Leave dock 4 hours prior to sundown. Enjoy a 20 - 30 minute ride to Kelleys Island, dock at either West Bay Inn or Portside Marina based on your preference and dockage availability.  You will have two hours to enjoy your dinner and explore the island before we cruise back to East Harbor as you watch the sun drop.  Return to the dock just as dusk sets in.        *Dinner not included*
