Spectacular crew and Captain. The catamaran is a stunning vessel. The crew and photographer were so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The cocktails were delicious! But the food was unexpected and outstanding! Their vegetarian option was just as delicious as the pulled pork! 10 out of 10 recommend for an unforgettable experience!

Great time on the boat! Saw whales, very low-key. Definitely recommend for both couples or families.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Mahalo! We’re glad you had a great, relaxing time on the boat and enjoyed seeing the whales. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
Mark_Q, Feb 2026
So much fun. Great views. Fun and polite staff. Food and drinks were great. Lots of whale sightings.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Mahalo for the awesome review! We're so glad you had fun, enjoyed the views, food, and drinks, and got to see plenty of whales. Hope to see you again soon!
Don_L, Jan 2026
Although billed as a “Sunset Cruise”,
the highlight was the whales—the captain finds the whales—-this time, right at sunset, there were a half-dozen breeches!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Mahalo for sharing! We’re thrilled the whales stole the show, especially with multiple breaches right at sunset. What an unforgettable experience! We hope to welcome you back again soon.

The boat and crew were great. Friendly, professional and fun. It was a great way to enjoy the sun&sea.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Mahalo! We’re glad you enjoyed the boat, friendly and professional crew, and had a great time soaking up the sun and sea.
Brandi_P, Jan 2026
We never got to go on excursion because we were moved from original date to another date and then an hour and half before we were supposed to be at the harbor, we got a text stating cruise was cancelled due to mechanical problems. The team we spoke to was very nice and helpful. I’m sure if we’d have been able to go on the trip it would’ve been most enjoyable. They offered us another day, but we were leaving the next day and had already changed plans around twice to accommodate the schedule changes made by the company. It was an anniversary surprise for my husband and by the time it was cancelled the 2nd time, everywhere else was already booked. Kudos to the employees for getting us a refund immediately and trying to come up with another solution- Mahalo! Hopefully they will get the issues resolved soon.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Mahalo for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry your anniversary excursion was canceled due to mechanical issues with the boat and understand how frustrating the schedule changes must have been. We appreciate your kind words about our team’s efforts to assist and provide a refund, and we hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you in the future. Please feel free to reach out directly so we can make this right.

It was amazing! Once in a lifetime views! There were so many whales! The food and drinks were awesome, too, and the deckhands were very knowledgable. Worth it!
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Lovely sail with good drinks and food. The crew was friendly and professional. The boat was clean and comfortable! Didn’t hurt that we saw a humpback whale!!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Lauren_C, Sep 2025
The Aliʻi Nui catamaran sunset sail was a highlight of our trip. Captain Jordan and her almost-all-female crew were not only warm and cheerful but also incredibly hard-working and skilled—raising sails and serving with seamless ease. The meal felt authentically local with pulled pork sliders and pineapple slaw, the drinks were generous and flowing, and the whole experience struck the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
Notes: Plenty of inexpensive parking on the oceanside of the harbor. Interior and exterior seating options. Great professional photographer onboard - consider dressing accordingly if you intend to purchase (worth it!).
Response from Host, Sep 2025
WOW - Mahalo for sharing such kind words and helpful tips for our future visitors, Lauren! We take great pride in our in-house catering team and they will be thrilled to hear about your appreciation for the local flavors. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!

David_K, Sep 2025
Fun trip, but the sun sets behind the island and not on the water. Crew was great, but a little disappointing.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Mahalo for sharing your experience on our Day's End Sunset Sail, David! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your evening out on the water. Unfortunately, the sun does in the West behind the island and with our South Maui departure location, this is our typical sunset view. I understand the disappointment, but hope the beautiful views helped make it up! We hope to see you again on your next visit to Maui to show you a 5 star experience out on the water!

Sunsets in Hawaii can’t be beat! But heading back before the sunset was disappointing. We weren’t even facing the sun as it set. The crew was not as friendly as past cruises and not as attentive.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry the timing and crew experience didn’t meet your expectations this time. We’ll share your comments with our team to improve attentiveness and guest experience.
We appreciate you taking the time to share and hope to provide a better trip in the future.

Sherrie_W, Jun 2025
The crew and drinks were fabulous but the food needs help. Tortilla chips with no salsa/cheese - just plain. A seafood slider/a pork slider and a spoonful of slaw is not what was presented at time of booking. Hot and cold appetizers - well I guess the boxes were checked.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Mahalo for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the crew and drinks. We’re sorry the food didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate your comments. We’ll review the menu to see how we can improve the offerings.
Mahalo again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to provide a better experience next time.

William_D, Jun 2025
We had a great time. The captain and crew were excellent—very attentive and always willing to help and answer questions. It was also fun to chat with Cat—one of the bartenders—while she was preparing my and my wife’s drinks. The food was great and they had a vegan option with jackfruit that was just as delicious as the huli huli chicken. The trip itself was wonderful, the ride smooth and fun, and the sunset was gorgeous. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Mahalo for the wonderful review, William! I'm thrilled to hear that Cat and the Ali'i Nui team were able to make it a perfect evening. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to making more wonderful memories out on the water on your next visit!

One of the best experiences we have had ever on any of our Maui trips! Fun crew, music, whale watching and a list of craft cocktails a wine to chose from. Ian was an a gracious, fun host who made our sunset so so fun! What a difference such a gracious host can add to your experience! Captain Josh was amazing and made sure we got to we watch too! The bartender made great drinks and don’t forget to get the professional photographer involved because her camera was incredible and we now have true professional pictures to go home with! Highlight of our trip!
