It was great to get a lovely trip on the 'Alilihani during sunset. Unfortunately, most of our party didn't have their sea legs, but my daughter and I loved being able to see the sights on the ship. The captain and crew (Shannon and Ollie) were absolutely fantastic the entire trip. I would recommend the trip for people who like to sail, enjoy the water, and hang out on a boat.

This was our 8th sunset cruise, extremely clean, well organized and crew was amazing!. the only concern and wasnt really to our likeling. There were alot of children on this sail. 8 or so. ages 5 and under, ru ning around the boat, and very little supervision, which is not the crews job, it would not have taken much for a child to slip over board. It was a huge distraction for my wife and i trying to enjoy our Anniversary. Again nothing to do with the crew, Excellence is how i would describe all 4 of them, worked together and made sure clients were taken care of.

Mahalo for choosing to spend your anniversary with us, and for coming back for your 8th sunset cruise! We really appreciate your continued support and your kind words about the crew. We’re sorry that the activity on board took away from some of the relaxing evening you were hoping for, especially on such a special occasion. We understand wanting to simply sit back and enjoy the sunset together. We hope we’ll have the chance to make your next sail just as enjoyable as the first seven!
Captain Kevin and his crew were awesome! We were fortunate to have a small group of passengers so we received customer service at its finest. Calm and peaceful sail to start our vacation in Maui.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Aloha! We love hearing that you got to kick off your Maui vacation with a peaceful sail. A smaller group definitely gives the crew more time to connect with everyone, and we’re so glad you felt well taken care of. Thanks for choosing to spend your first Maui adventure with us—we hope the rest of your trip was just as special! 🌺
This was a great time and great weather! We got to see dolphins and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Yummy food and drinks and the guides were super friendly and awesome!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo for the great review! 🤙 We’re so glad you had such a fun evening and got to catch some dolphins along the way. Sounds like you picked a pretty perfect day to be out on the water! Hope to see you back aboard again soon. 🌅🐬⛵️
The crew is safety conscience and very helpful with everyone boarding the catamaran. They meet you in the parking lot and walk you over to the pier in Lahaina. The open bar is truly an open bar and they serve everything from champagne to rum and coke, to Bloody Mary's and mai tai's. The pupus are delicious and plenty of food. Chocolate chips cookies were for dessert.
The cruise was spectacular! The sails were hoisted and it was so pleasant to watch the sun set beneath the horizon. Don't miss your chance to sail with this crew. You won't regret it. I've been on many catamaran cruises and this is one of the best.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! It means a lot to hear that, especially from someone who’s been on plenty of catamaran cruises. We’re glad you had a great evening with us and felt well taken care of. Hope we get to have you back out sailing with us again! ⛵️
Amazing, low-key sail at sunset. Great music, good food and a fantastic crew. Captain Brandon, Nick and his brother were wonderful! This was one of my favorite things we did while in Maui!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo for the awesome review! We’re so glad the sunset sail ended up being one of your favorite parts of the trip. Sounds like you had a pretty perfect evening on the water. We’ll be sure to share the kind words with the crew!
Beautiful and immaculate boat, great appetizers and fresh fruit, friendly crew with Captain Kevin, and deck hands Jesse and Bryce. Would absolutely do it again on our next trip to Maui.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time on the water and that our crew helped make your sail such a memorable part of your Maui visit. We appreciate you choosing to join us and would love the opportunity to have you back aboard for another beautiful day on the ocean!
Love the open bar we had the greatest time the staffs are very attentive to our needs. Only thing is we had to remove our shoes
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo for joining us! We're so glad you had such a great time and that our crew took good care of you throughout the sail. We appreciate your feedback about removing shoes as well. It's a standard practice on our boats to help protect the decks and keep everyone safe, and we hope it was a small tradeoff for a memorable day on the water. We’d love to welcome you back aboard again soon!
Stop right now and book this excursion!!! From the Captain to the shipmates, they had fantastic customer service, they offered to involved our kids in parts of sailing, and just super professional. We loved every minute of it and they protected us from the rain. It was so smooth and just a great crew. Highly recommend.
Only thing I would change: I wish we did it on our last night in Maui. Just an easy tour to do with kids and make them tired before a day of travel back to the mainland.
Thank you Captain Chase and crew for being so amazing! Everyone said well worth the money!

Excellent experience! The captain and crew made sure we all had a good time. They were on top of service when it came to beverages and snacks. The drink menu was quite impressive. Many nonalcoholic options for the kids.

Mahalo for the kind words! We’re happy to hear our crew helped make your time aboard such a great experience. Creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests of all ages is something we truly enjoy, and we appreciate you noticing the care they put into every sail. Please join us again!
The captain Chase was Amazing. And he played amazing Grace with bagpipes as we were pulling into Port. Jess and Justin were also amazing and kept us well fed. We never went thirsty.

Mahalo for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed your day on the water and appreciated our crew's commitment to making the safest decisions for everyone on board. It sounds like you made the most of a beautiful day sailing, and we're happy it turned into such a memorable experience. We hope to welcome you back aboard again soon. Aloha!
Wonderful experience from start to finish, which is no easy feat with 3 kids under the age of 7. The crew was very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Can’t say enough great things about their hospitality. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The drinks and snacks were delicious. Captain Chase was great and even let our littles check out all the boat controls. The price was one of the best we could find for this type of excursion. We’ll be back later this winter and have this at the top of our list to book again.

This was an amazing adventure! My granddaughters and I loved sitting in the netting in the bow of the boat getting splashed. We saw dolphins, flying fish, rainbows, and a gorgeous sunset. The crew was amazing- helpful and accommodating. It was a highlight of our Maui trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
What a beautiful experience! We're so happy to hear you and your granddaughters enjoyed the adventure and all the special moments along the way. It means a lot to know it was a highlight of your Maui trip, and we hope to welcome you aboard again someday!
It was a great experience. The crew was exceptional. The drinks and snacks were delicious. Not only did we see gorgeous sunset but we were fortunate enough to see bottlenose dolphins and even flying fish.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo for your kind review! We're so happy you had such a wonderful experience and truly appreciate your kind words about our crew. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
I was so impressed with the staff. They waited on everyone serving drinks and food. It was the best sunset cruise I've ever done. Bonus: Dolphins cruised along the side of the boat while the sun was setting!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! We're grateful you chose to spend your evening with us and that our crew helped make it such a memorable experience. A beautiful Maui sunset and dolphins alongside the boat is hard to beat—we're so glad you got to enjoy both!
Relaxing!!! Fabulous views!!!!! Amazing

Mahalo for sailing with us! Stoked to hear you had such a great time out on the water — our crew loves making every sunset feel special. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back aboard again soon. A hui hou 🌺⛵️
We recently took the sunset cruise and had a pleasant enough evening, but it wasn’t quite what we were hoping for, especially given the cost.
The crew was friendly and professional, and I can see why this cruise appeals to many guests. However, as non-drinkers, a significant portion of the value proposition (open bar and included drinks) didn’t really add much for us. If you enjoy cocktails and a lively social atmosphere, your experience may be very different.
What surprised us was how little actual sailing seemed to take place. We motored a relatively short distance along the coastline, sailed for part of the return trip, and then spent a significant amount of time simply floating while waiting for sunset. Unfortunately, the sun disappeared behind clouds before reaching the horizon, which of course isn’t anyone’s fault, but it did contribute to the feeling that there wasn’t much happening for a large portion of the excursion.
The music also wasn’t quite what we expected. The playlist leaned heavily toward rock and rap, which felt somewhat disconnected from the atmosphere we were hoping for while enjoying a Maui sunset. We personally would have preferred something that reflected more of the local Hawaiian culture and setting.
Overall, I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience—just not one that felt worth the price for us. If you’re looking for an open-bar social cruise, you may have a great time. If you’re primarily interested in sailing, Hawaiian ambiance, or a uniquely Maui experience, you may want to research a few options before booking to make sure the cruise matches your expectations. We did get some excellent pictures though.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo nui for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re grateful to hear the crew made you feel welcomed, and we appreciate you explaining what parts of the evening didn’t quite match what you were hoping for. As non‑drinkers, we understand how the open‑bar portion may not have added much for you — and while we’re not a booze cruise, we know that part of the experience can feel more valuable to some guests than others. The limited sailing time, music vibe, and cloudy sunset all shape the night too, and your manaʻo helps us continue refining what we offer.
If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear a bit more so we can pass your feedback along to the team. Please feel free to reach out to us directly anytime. A hui hou. 808.244.2087
We had the best time felt like we were just out with our friends having a great time! the crew are the best, captain Chase , Dustin and Micah very friendly and helpful had a great time talking to them. The food was also better than I expected!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo nui for sharing this! Love hearing it felt like cruising with friends — that’s the vibe we hope every guest feels. And we’re glad the food surprised you in the best way. Hope we get to welcome you back out on the water again soon. Aloha.
10/10 would recommend one of the best thing that we did in maui! Captain Chase was amazing! Dont miss out on this opportunity!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo nui for this sweet review! So happy to hear your day with Captain Chase was a highlight of your time on Maui. He’ll be stoked to know he helped make it a 10/10 experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation — hope to welcome you back on the water next time you’re here 🤙🏼

Mahalo nui for sharing this! So glad you, your gram, and your little one had such a fun day with us. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this shout‑out. Aloha!
Sailed out of the port in Lahania. The crew was extremely grateful for everyone who boarded. The crew was very attentive to everyone. The trip was wonderful sailing down the coast of Maui for an hour one way then back with an Open Bar and tasty h'devours. The sunset was beautiful.
Response from Host, May 2026
Mahalo nui loa for sailing with us out of Lahaina. Our crew truly appreciated everyone who came aboard, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the coastline, the ono pupus, and that beautiful Maui sunset. We’d be happy to welcome you back next time you’re on island!
It was great to get a lovely trip on the 'Alilihani during sunset. Unfortunately, most of our party didn't have their sea legs, but my daughter and I loved being able to see the sights on the ship.

Mahalo for spending your sunset with us. Even with a few shaky sea legs in the group, we’re really glad you and your daughter enjoyed the ride. Shannon and Ollie will be happy to hear your kind words and send their aloha. Hope to see you back out on the water again!
Crew was kind, weather didn’t allow for a nice sunset, lots of clouds so that was disappointing and not anyone’s fault. Main issue was that we didn’t really said. We merely waited in one spot for the majority of the allotted time, waiting for the sun to set. It was actually pretty disappointing and very boring. Additionally the music played was old foggy music, really boring. Wouldn’t book with this company again
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to share your experience! We apologize that your experience fell short of expectations.
We understand that weather conditions can impact the enjoyment of the sunset, and lack of wind can definitely affect the amount of sailing we are able to do. We aim to create a memorable experience and will take your feedback into consideration as we plan future sails. Mahalo again for your review and we hope you consider joining us again in the future. Aloha!
Amazing!! It was beautiful and they did a great job!! Definitely will do again!! Thank you!! Best sunset view!!
