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

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!

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.
Jean_L, Jan 2026
Great crew and a lot of fun! We saw so many whales and the drinks and appetizers were great! Can’t wait to do this again!
Marcus_R, Jan 2026
Great vibes for the whole family. Awesome crew, highly recommend! Booked a sunset but the clouds didn’t stop us. Evening whale watch was perfect.
Montana_M, Jan 2026
This sunset catamaran cruise was absolutely magical and one of the highlights of our time in Maui. From the moment we checked in we knew it was going to be a great time. Jim made the check in process easy and the pre board instructions interactive and fun. Onboard the crew: Travis, Jenni, and Mario were welcoming and incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time! The sunset view was gorgeous and the seeing the whales was absolutely magically. Not to mention all the delicious drink and appetizer options! We had such a great time we booked a second excursion with Sea Maui for later on this trip. Highly highly recommend!
Lovebeauna_C, Jan 2026
What an energetic experience! From whale watching to endless drinks offered to magnetic sunset views, and a friendly boat crew. I would recommend without a doubt, as price matches such a unique experience. If I travel again to Maui, I would do again!
Jacky_J, Nov 2025
The sunset cruise was everything and more ! The views, the amazing staff and the wonderful food made for a perfect sunset sail ! I can’t say enough how amazing the entire crew was at making sure no one wanted for anything !
Amelia_S, Nov 2025
Fun and great food and drinks flowing. Very knowledgeable crew. Took stunning photos and lots of sunset angles
Talis_O, Nov 2025
No sunset as the boat did not go around the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Choppy sea made for little sightseeing but the crew were very nice and attentive. You will get wet boarding and getting off the boat as it is beach boarding, not a dock or pier. Cocktails and snacks were okay and plentiful.
Alexandra_S, Nov 2025
We had a great time! The crew was very attentive an brought us drinks as soon as we were done, and gave clear instructions so everything went smoothly! Would definitely do again!
William_S, Nov 2025

Denise_O, Nov 2025
Easy access from the beach! Walking distance from hotels. Great crew, drinks, and snacks
Super fun and easy adventure
James_H, Oct 2025
We had a great time on the sunset cruise. The drinks and food were great and plentiful. The crew was fun and kept our drinks full. We plan on doing it again next time we're in Maui!
Carleen_d, Oct 2025
All of the employees from the shore and check-in, to the guys on the boat, were great! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the sunset because of the clouds, but the unlimited drinks were a nice consolation prize 😊 I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the island! But be sure to wear a bathing suit if you’re sitting anywhere other than near the captain in the middle of the boat. There’s a 99% chance you’ll get soaked!
Pam_M, Oct 2025
Bring a jacket, you might need it, when you get wet. Seacraft is a bit small so hang on. The crew is amazing and will assist at the drop of a hat. October is a little over cast but still a wonderful trip.
Tracy_G, Oct 2025
An amazing awesome crew helped make our night so special with our family! This will be enjoyed by all ages!
Melinda_C, Oct 2025
This is an easy, pleasant sail along the Maui coast. Nick, James and Em (I hope I remembered their names correctly!) were great hosts and provided a great experience for all onboard. The drinks were plentiful and the food was good. A really great sunset sail.

It was awesome. Great cruise, the crew was great, drinks and appetizers were fantastic. We would definitely do it again.
Darin_S, Sep 2025
Great staff, nice boat and beautiful views! Oh and they are very generous with the drinks. The playlist was good as well, but yeah the best part was the staff who were all very nice. If you are vegetarian though, know the pupus are mostly meat.
Gabrielle_S, Sep 2025
Best experience solo traveling in Maui! Thank you Sea Maui crew for an unforgettable night! The crew kept the drinks flowing and the vibes going. Shout out to Tommy for being especially attentive to all the guests 😊 Definitely coming back!
