Took the 3 hour sunset cruise and Sag Harbor Fireworks combo cruise. The staff was great, the fireworks were awesome and everyone had a great time. Recommend getting tickets early as this sold out fast (we tried to get an extra ticket but couldn't). Highly recommend - even for just the sunset cruise alone.

What a great adventure on the American Beauty Cruises. The First Mate was very engaged with all onboard telling wonderful stories of the island and you could truly tell he enjoyed telling of the history. We took away great memories that we will cherish. The cruise is great for families. Thank you American Beauty Team

So happy to find them. We took a 90 minute nature cruise around sag harbor , East Hampton and part of shelter island. It was beautiful. It really was the only affordable boat cruise I could find. Prices out east to get yourself out in the water have become unaffordable. This was a great value. Highly recommend

This was such a nice experience! So unassuming and relaxing. Easy to find the boat at the dock, and the staff could not have been nicer. The First Mate was extra nice, voluntarily showing us on a map where we were going to sail, and pointing out some of the celebrity homes.

This is the best summer evening you can have in the Hamptons! I do this every summer with friends, and always look forward to our sunset ride on the American Beauty out of Sag Harbor. You can bring drinks and food which is so nice, and hear about the area and its famous residents and homes that you pass. An absolute must do!

On my to-do list while in the Hamptons, I wanted to go on a boat ride around the island. But I didn't want to pay a crazy price for it. If you're looking for a reasonably priced ride in Sag Harbor, do yourself a favor and ride with American Beauty with Captain Don and Mate Frank. They are a friendly twosome. And Mate Frank was more than willing to take all the pictures you wanted. I can tell that they enjoy being out on the water and meeting new people! My only request is to upgrade the recorded tour that plays, it was a bit hard to hear. But other than that, we had a fabulous time. And the next time I'm in Sag Harbor, I will make sure to take this boat ride again!

The American Beauty was the ideal venue for my husband's 60th birthday. In lieu of gifts, I asked all his friends to bring their favorite food and/or drinks. They came through in style and we enjoyed all kinds of deliciousness. Captain Don cast off promptly and was incredibly accommodating about our route. We got to pick our music (which included my husband's musician chums being able to play) and clean up was a breeze! Easy, joyful and-- most importantly-- memorable fun was had by all.

We thoroughy enjoyed our 90 minute 1 pm Cruise on Friday, August 10th! It was a perfect day to be out on the water! Captain Don & First Mate Deitrick (hope I have spelling right) were awesome and very welcoming! Even though we live on Long Island, we knew very little about the history of Sag Harbor and Shelter Island! We had a great time and enjoyed the history lesson from Deitrick. He is quite entertaining!!! If you get out to the East End, don't miss this cruise.....you'll love it!

We are very happy to hear you enjoyed our 90 minute nature cruise. I will be sure to tell Declan how much he added to your enjoyment of the trip. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is very much appreciated as we get most of our customers by word of mouth and reviews like this!
Thanks again for the kind words,

American Beauty is the perfect name for the wonderful afternoon we spent cruising the Sag Harbor area with Captain Don. The osprey nests on Shelter Island, was amazing to see. The whole ninety minute tour was a nature lover's delight. Informative and beautiful, thank you Captain Don, will be back again next year.

Thanks for the reply Betty.
Sorry for the delay Michelle. Yes, you can bring snacks and wine. And, as Betty said, music - but music is for private charters only.
