Public Experiences

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.

Pricing

Public cruises are priced per person.

  • Noon Harbor Cruise: $120 per person

  • Sunset Cruise: $120 per person

Pricing does not include booking fees or crew service charge. Exact pricing and availability can be found on our booking calendar.

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.
