Sunset & Harbor Cruises on St. Simons Island
Boards at 206 Marina Drive, Morningstar Golden Isles Marina, St. Simons Island
Our Public Experiences offer a relaxed and enjoyable way to experience the String of Pearls without booking a Private Charter. These are shared cruises, meaning you’ll be enjoying the trip alongside other guests. They’re a great option for families, couples, friends, or small groups who want the classic yacht experience but don’t mind sharing the boat with others.
Public cruises welcome up to 25 guests.
Noon Harbor Cruise
A leisurely midday cruise through St. Simons Sound. Enjoy the scenery, watch for dolphins and seabirds, and take in the views of the marshes and Sidney Lanier Bridge. Bring your own snacks and drinks and settle in for a peaceful break on the water.
Sunset Cruise
Our most popular option. Watch the sun set over the Golden Isles while cruising through St. Simons Sound. This is a favorite for couples, families, and friends looking to unwind and enjoy a beautiful evening on the water with wildlife sightings and stunning views.

Dinner and a Cruise: The Perfect Date Night
Make it an evening to remember. Enjoy dinner at Coastal Kitchen, right here at Morningstar Golden Isles Marina, then step aboard the String of Pearls for the Sunset Cruise and sip cocktails as the sun goes down over the marshes. There's no driving between stops, just great food, a beautiful marina, and one of the prettiest sunsets on the Georgia coast.

Where do we board?
We board at 206 Marina Drive, Morningstar Golden Isles Marina, St. Simons Island, GA 31522. Park in the marina lot, head up the stairs, walk past Coastal Kitchen, and walk down the dock to the gate. We are the last boat on the left. Please arrive at the marina parking lot 25 minutes before departure.
Where do we park?
Parking in the marina lot is somewhat limited, so please come in as few vehicles as possible. Overflow parking is available in front of the condominiums to the south and in the overflow area to the west. You can also let our sister company, Lighthouse Trolleys, bring your group to the boat: call (912) 638-3333.
What can we bring?
Food, snacks and beverages are welcome aboard, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. On the Public Sunset Cruise there will most likely be other guests aboard, and space around the main table on the quarterdeck is limited (12 people or so). It is usually breezy on the water, so things can blow around. Please bring beverages in cans if possible, since glass beer bottles tend to break in the cooler; wine bottles are welcome.

You can cancel more than 48 hours before departure for a full refund of your ticket price. Credit card processing fees are not refundable. Within 48 hours of departure, bookings are final and cannot be cancelled or refunded by the guest.
