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 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!
Kulsoom_J, Oct 2025
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!
Justine_J, Oct 2025
Amazing!! It was beautiful and they did a great job!! Definitely will do again!! Thank you!! Best sunset view!!
Barbara_W, Oct 2025
The harbor slips are all even numbers on the north side and odd numbers on the south side. We weren't sure where to go initially. Very efficient, the crew checked with you repeatedly for additional beverages or needs. It was better than I imagined. Panoramic views and breezy. Very comfortable!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Mahalo for taking the time to write a review! We apologize for it being a bit tricky to find the slip, but we’re glad you found it and had a great time aboard with us! We are always glad to hear that the crew was accommodating and you had a great time with great views! Hope you join us again in the near future. Aloha!
Bill_B, Sep 2025

Response from Host, Dec 2025
Aloha Bill and mahalo for taking the time to leave a review! We are thrilled you had a great time on your sunset sail with the crew. We appreciate the advice to show up early for parking; that is definitely something to take into consideration. Mahalo again, and we hope you join us again very soon!
