Moonlight Cruise | Long Island Yacht Sail from Shelter Island & Greenport
A Moonlight Sail - Shelter Island and Greenport NY
The Moonlight Cruise is SailSelinaNY’s final sail of the day, offered nightly May through August from 7:30–9:30 PM. As we glide across the glittering waters of the East End of Long Island’s North Fork towards Shelter Island Sound, the last light of sunset blends into the glow of the rising moon. Depending on the season, you may enjoy both a fiery sunset and a silver-lit sky. Even the soft shimmer of the sliver of a crescent moon dancing across the bay feels like something out of a dream.
With only six guests aboard, this intimate evening sail sells out quickly on peak summer nights.
Check the Moonrise Table at the bottom of this page if you want to plan your outing based on the moon.
Experience the Magic of Moonlight Sailing
SailSelinaNY welcomes just six guests aboard for an intimate and tranquil experience. As the sails fill with the evening breeze and the water reflects the moonlight, you’ll feel the day’s worries drift away.
Your captain and crew share stories of Greenport’s shipbuilding heritage and the yacht’s century-old history while you soak in views of Shelter Island, the North Fork, and The East End’s glittering horizon.
On clear nights later in the season, enjoystargazinglike you’ve never seen—spotting constellations, planets, and sometimes even theMilky WayorInternational Space Stationstreaking across the sky.
Relax, Unwind & Reconnect Under the Stars
This evening sail is perfect for couples, small groups, or solo travelers who love the simple beauty of being on the water. Bring your favorite North Fork wine—perhaps from Bedell Cellars, Kontokosta Winery, or Sparkling Pointe—and toast to the peace of the open bay.
Let the sound of the wind and the rhythm of the waves remind you of what’s truly timeless.
