This Sunset Wine Cruise In New Jersey Is The Perfect Summer Adventure

New Jersey offers a variety of unique cruises, including a sunset wine cruise with scenic views and wildlife sightings.

New Jersey offers miles of coastline along with gorgeous lakes and rivers so it's no surprise that you'll find a variety of incredible cruises here. You can explore wetlands and wildlife habitats, watch for whales, or enjoy a delectable meal on an old-fashioned ferry boat, but there's more. The perfect summertime tour awaits...a sunset wine cruise.

If you're a frequent reader of Only In New Jersey, you're probably already familiar with Cape May Whale Watcher.

I've covered their wildlife viewing excursions in the past and they're a very popular attraction.

But Cape May Whale Watcher isn't only about watching whales.

They offer a variety of unique trips, including special fireworks cruises on July 3rd and 4th. How exciting would it be to watch the shows right from the water?

Perhaps the most spectacular cruise is the Delaware Bay Sunset Lighthouse Cruise.

It combines several truly special elements to create an unforgettable journey.

Your relaxing cruise includes scenic views and so much more.

You'll journey along the Delaware Bay at sunset, stopping at two lighthouses - Cape May Light and Brandywine Shoal. At each lighthouse, you'll enjoy photo opportunities and a brief history lesson.

You'll also enjoy a wine tasting at each stop, complete with hors d'oeuvres.

A cash bar will be available for sodas, bottled water, hot coffee and cocoa and ice cream. Wine by the glass, draft beer, and mixed cocktails are also available for purchase.

You may even spot whales and dolphins on your trip.

The Delaware Bay is a popular spot for dolphins and Humpback Whales have been seen here, as well.

Though, it's the sunset scenery that will leave you in awe.

Isn't this absolutely breathtaking?

I can’t imagine a more pleasant escape to share with friends or that special someone. Memories of this magical trip will last a lifetime. Beer tastings are also available. The next sail date is May 18th; other upcoming dates include June 8th, June 22nd and July 6th. Cruises last 2.5 hours and are family-friendly. Discount tickets are available for those not indulging in wine or beer tastings. You can learn more or book tickets by clicking here.
