The story
The best hour of the day, without the crowd
At 5 pm the day boats head back and Grand-Case Bay empties out. That is exactly when we leave. Two hours is enough: time to pull away from the jetty, cut the engine, and let the boat settle facing the sun.
Sophie makes the canapés that same afternoon, with whatever the market gave her. Kharim serves his cocktail up front on the trampoline, as the light starts to turn. There is nothing else to do but watch.
The boat is yours alone. No shared group, no schedule to keep with other passengers: 10 people at most, and they are yours.
How it unfolds
How your two hours unfold
*Times are indicative and adjusted to the exact time of sunset. The trip also depends on the weather and the sea: Kharim decides on the day.
-
5 pm* — Meeting point at the Grand-Case jetty
Boarding and transfer aboard Zephyr. After a short safety briefing, we weigh anchor and leave the mooring.
-
Sailing to Friar's Bay
We leave the bay for a quiet anchorage, ideal for a short swim while the water is still warm.
-
Apéritif at sunset
Settle into the forward lounge or the open-plan saloon, depending on the wind, for Kharim's house cocktail and the canapés Sophie has prepared, while the sun goes down on the horizon.
-
Back at the jetty around 7 pm*
Once the last of the light has gone, we head quietly back to the Grand-Case jetty — just in time for dinner on the strip.

Grand-Case Bay at golden hour
Two hours away from it all, with the intensity of a whole evening
The bay to yourselves
By 5 pm the day trips are back in. We leave as everyone returns — which is what makes the bay quiet and the water flat.
The easiest way to start
Two hours away from it all, without giving up your whole day, and gentle enough to enjoy from start to finish. The ideal outing to discover the island early in your stay, or to share a special moment as a family.
Private, like every trip we run
The boat is entirely privatised for your group: no strangers on board, just you and your own, to make the most of the apéritif and the setting sun.
A house cocktail and freshly made canapés
The captain's cocktail comes with canapés made on board that same day, from fresh local produce — nothing off the shelf, simply homemade.
100% private
The whole boat, your group, and nobody else.
Certified captain
Capitaine 200, CE category A vessel, zero incidents.
Tailor-made route
The route is decided with you, by the day's sea.
Owner crew

The questions we are asked
Questions about the sunset apéritif
Is the price per person?
No. 650 € in low season is the whole boat and its crew, for 4 guests. Beyond that, each additional guest joins for 70 €, up to 6 additional guests.
What time do we actually leave?
Departure is around 5 pm, back at about 7 pm. The exact time follows the sunset, which shifts with the season, and we confirm it when you book.
Is there a proper meal on board?
No, and that's deliberate: the apéritif is an apéritif. The captain's cocktail and homemade canapés, enough to carry you to dinner. For a meal served on board, the full-day cruise is the one you want.
What if the weather turns?
Kharim decides on the day. If the sea or the wind won't make for a good trip, we postpone or refund — we never sail just to sail.
Can we plan a proposal or a birthday?
Of course — it is the perfect moment to celebrate something special. Tell us what you would like in the “Anything to add” field: champagne, flowers, a cake… We will have everything ready to make it unforgettable.
