If you think Sag Harbor is all about sitting dockside with a glass of rosé, you’re only half right. The other half? You need to get yourself on American Beauty II and see this village from the water. Trust me — your Instagram will thank you.

Here at Hamptons Mouthpiece, we’re all about those experiences that make you say, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” And cruising on American Beauty II is at the top of that list.

American Beauty II is a 44-foot charmer docked right on Long Wharf. Captain Don Heckman launched this dream back in ’92 because he believed boating should be fun and affordable for everyone.

Pick Your Cruise Mood

Private Charter – Birthday? Bachelorette? Girls’ day out? Or maybe it’s just Tuesday and you feel like it. Rent the whole boat for $630/hour (and yes, there’s a discount if you pay in cash or Zelle — we love a bargain). Bring your own snacks, drinks, and playlist. One rule: leave the red wine at home. The boat cushions will thank you.

Ticketed Cruises:

Sunset Cruise – Two glorious hours of golden light, salty breezes, and everyone suddenly feeling like a movie star.

Nature Cruise – 90 minutes of “oohs” and “ahhs” as you pass osprey nests, secret coves, and get the lowdown on Sag Harbor history — plus a peek at some fancy waterfront homes.

Why You’ll Love It

The Views – Sunsets so pretty, you’ll be tempted to move aboard.

Hamptons Mouthpiece Tips

Book ahead — especially for those weekend sunset cruises.

Arrive early so you can snag the best spot for selfies (and snacks).

If the weather turns, no stress — they’ll reschedule or refund.

Next time you’re in Sag Harbor, trade your dinner table for a deck and your shoes for boat vibes. American Beauty II isn’t just a cruise — it’s a floating memory maker.
