Sea Maui is the best. Friendly at the kiosk checkin all the way to a great boat crew. We’ve done two tours with them and this is consistent. The sunset cruise was fantastic with a great vibe and amazing views ending with a stunning sunset. Highly recommend

Jerome_S, Jun 2026
This was the best sunset cruise I have ever been on and I would definitely go again. I highly recommend.
Steven_R, Jun 2026
You're going to get wet getting onto the boat because you have to walk through water. Excellent experience with an open bar and an appetizers come with your fee. The service is excellent and the crew is quick with the drink service. I highly recommend it.

This sunset cruise absolutely did
not disappoint! The boat was a gorgeous,
well-maintained catamaran with plenty of space to relax and take in the stunning views. What really made the evening special was the amazing crew. They were incredibly friendly and just entertaining enough--light, funny, and welcoming without being overbearing. We had a blast and even spotted a dolphin and a flying fish! The drinks and snacks were perfect, complementing the relaxing atmosphere perfectly. This was the highlight of our trip. We will always do this exact cruise with this company whenever we are on Maui. Highly recommended

You might get wet, very fun the provide appetizers as well as drinks and the crew members were very nice and helpful
Brian_S, May 2026
Crew and boat were great!!! Food was tasty and plenty of beverages to choose from that staff will bring to you. You get to sit back and enjoy the ride and view.
Trinity_H, May 2026
It was so fun! Beautiful views, amazing music, awesome crew. 10 out of 10. I would for sure do it again!
Elvia_S, May 2026
Very disappointed. Not a dinner, more like appetizers. Breaded chicken strips and sliders. Cheap liquor. Crew was great. View was great. Should have a better description on site.
Carolyn_L, May 2026
Amazing sunset cruise in Maui!
The staff took good care of us while enjoying a relaxing cruise in the Pacific Ocean in Maui! Great food, music and drinks!!
John_H, May 2026
Excellent crew. Good food. Pork sliders, grilled chicken tenders, macaroni salad and coleslaw. Healthy drinks that did not skimp on the alcohol. Crew was good with the children on board also.
Robert_H, May 2026
They will likely get wet boarding and debarking and during the sail. A lot of fun, great friendly crew.
SHAHZAIN_A, May 2026
It was a great experience. Just didnt get to see the sunset because it started raining that day and unfortunately there was no sun. But the team was awesome.
Alan_S, May 2026
So much fun! We unfortunately had a cloudy day and didn’t get to watch the sunset but the crew still made it an enjoyable ride. Not a big drinker so I’m not sure if the drinks were good but the food was great!
Sam_C, May 2026
Very awesome crew and trip! Drinks were awesome and sunset was great. We were able to catch a really good sunset
Vickie_J, May 2026
The crew was so awesome! They were accommodating to everyone on the boat and hilarious! The drinks were delicious great!
Ashely_H, May 2026
The vibe was awesome along with the drinks and snacks. Not one time did I have to request a refill because the staff was on it. By far the best decision made since arriving in Maui.
Deborah_S, May 2026
We actually upgraded with the same company but to the dinner cruise. So worth it! The food was delicious and plentiful and the “adult beverages “ were equally plentiful and yummy! Jen and Ben were both very attentive hosts and very personable- they made the cruise even more enjoyable. Highly recommended Sea Maui!
Joanna_B, Apr 2026
The sunset was so beautiful and the crew was super personable and fun. The drinks and food were delicious.
Candace_D, Apr 2026
Was a great fun activity for our family of all ages. Crew was all great and interreacted with everyone. High energy from start to finish.
Valen_P, Apr 2026
This sunset cruise was a great time. The crew was super friendly, the drinks were flowing, the pupus were tasty. The first half of the trip they put the sails up and it was definitely an adventure. Tip: do sit/stand in the back if you want to stay dry (we didn’t mind some sea water though). Highly recommend this excursion.
Michael_A, Mar 2026
Carrie, James, and Nico were great and we really enjoyed Tim McDill’s music. It was awesome seeing whales and taking in the beauty of the islands from the water.
Nancy_C, Mar 2026
This was such a great experience! The staff was so accommodating and very friendly! We even got to see dolphins!
Tori_R, Mar 2026
Tour went beyond expectations! The service was great. The crew immediately served drinks and were repeatedly checking in and bringing more. The food was good as well. The captain James was spot on chasing whales before sunset and we got to see several up close! We had an amazing time, would highly recommend this company!
Ginesa_T, Jan 2026
Beach loading catamaran so be prepared to dash through the water! The captain and the crew were fantastic. Lots of little ones, which I did not expect, also was expecting more a leisurely ride versus searching for whales!
sheila_v, Jan 2026
Jovial atmosphere, great customer service, seeing whales and dolphins was a real plus, unlimited drinks and unlimited fun!
Julie_C, Jan 2026
So much fun!!! Great value! Staff was amazing! Food and drinks were great! So many whales! I laughed so hard.
Cassandra_S, Jan 2026
The crew is professional and friendly! The ride is beautiful and the food was good. We’ll definitely book again.
Tim_N, Jan 2026
It was a great ride with amazing views of the sunset, but also WHALES! We saw more whales on this trip than we did on our whale watching tour. The people were great and the drinks were delicious. It was a relaxing night. Would schedule again.
