Best Sunset Cruises in Jamaica — Our Top 7

1.NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe Adults only ALL HOTELS

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 390 reviews · from $88Our pick

Cruise Negril’s Seven Mile Beach and West End with an onboard DJ, Appleton rum, Red Stripe, snorkeling at Sandy Cove Reef, and a sunset stop at Rick’s Cafe. Crew members such as Chocolate Thunder and Danca Mon keep the party moving. Bring a towel and expect to walk through seawater to board.

“This was fun but it was very crowded, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. Also, the sea was rough and we had to dock elsewhere and take a bus to Rick's Cafe. Not sure I would recommend this to a friend or do this again.”

2.Friday Evening Kingston Harbour Cruise, Sunday Beach Cruise or Charter Our Boats

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 232 reviews · from $75Best value

Choose a three-hour Friday night sail from Victoria Pier with city lights, Jamaican music, food, and drinks, or a four-hour Sunday trip from Port Royal to Maiden Cay for lunch, a beach stop, swimming, and DJ-led island time. The 69-foot catamaran holds up to 75 people.

“I love trips to Maiden Cay and was looking for a cheap means to get there. I had a great time! It was worth the money. Don’t expect many tourists as this is an event that appear to be frequented by locals. Which is ok, still. There was ample food and drinks.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · from $115

See Sam Sharpe Square and St James Parish Church, tour Rose Hall after dark, then take a 30-minute boat ride across the glowing Luminous Lagoon. Hotel pickup from Montego Bay, Negril, and Grand Palladium is included, with an optional swim in the warm, glowing water.

“This tour was hit or miss for me. We signed up for the Rose Hall night tour, but the hall was closed for a private event the night of our tour, so the order got switched around and we did Rose Hall during the day. Rose hall was fine, but our guide at the hall was unenthusiastic. I can't blame her because they wear period clothing and it was over 90 degrees F that day, but still. The Montego Bay highlights was neat. We were going through downtown when school was letting out, and got a nice view of city life in hectic downtown MoBay. We stopped for lunch at…”
