tHE SUNSET cRUISE
Experience the Magic of a Sunset Safari on the Clyde Estuary
Available during the warmer months and into late summer, our Sunset Run is one of the most atmospheric and sought-after experiences we offer—an unforgettable evening journey that captures the natural beauty, rich history, and peaceful charm of the Clyde Estuary as the sun dips below the western horizon.
Departing from Rhu Marina in the early evening, you'll step aboard and ease into a world of golden skies, tranquil seas, and breathtaking scenery. As the daylight begins to soften and melt into amber and rose-tinted tones, we cruise gently through a landscape where land and sea meet in harmony. The light changes by the minute, casting shimmering reflections across the water and bathing the rugged Scottish coastline in a magical glow.
Our carefully crafted route gives you an entirely different perspective of the Clyde—from rolling hills and forested headlands to historic landmarks and remote bays, each detail becomes more dramatic under the glow of the setting sun. It’s a visual experience like no other, where every twist in the coastline reveals something new and stunning.
Keep your camera ready, as wildlife is often most active in the evening. You may spot curious seals watching from the rocks, seabirds gliding silently overhead, and, with a bit of luck, even the graceful arc of dolphins cutting through the water nearby. Our experienced crew will help point out sightings and share stories of the Clyde’s rich maritime past as you glide through its stillness.
Perfect for romantics, photographers, nature lovers, and those simply seeking a peaceful moment, this tour is designed to help you unwind and take in the raw beauty of the west coast in a way few get to experience. Whether you’re capturing the perfect sunset shot, enjoying quiet reflection, or simply breathing in the fresh sea air, the Sunset Run offers a moving and memorable end to your day.
Spaces are limited on these evening trips to maintain a serene and intimate atmosphere, so booking in advance is highly recommended. Join us, and discover why the Clyde at sunset is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets.
