Five stars is not enough! I would give a thousand! The service extraordinary! The entire crew were nice, kind, helpful, and personable. The food was delicious. They helped my elderly mom so kindly. I would HIGHLY recommend the dinner cruise over and over! It's such a pleasure!

Sea Maui was the best!!! They were so attentive to our needs and made our time in Maui truly incredible. The crew and cabin were truly amazing and had so much personality and great service! The music on the boat was great the food was really tasty. This was one of the best diner cruises I’ve had. The vibe was super causal with breathtaking views of the island! You don’t want to miss this excursion!

Disappointed

Rebecca_S, Feb 2026
On the day of our cruise I received a message that the boat couldn't sail because the waves created a sandbar that they couldn't navigate over. CRUISE CANCELED! 😥

Wonderful experience. Saw many whales. Food was delicious. Crew was great. Jess and Captain Linda and Vinnie.

So many whales…

Shannon_M, Feb 2026
Legit tour company! We had an amazing time and saw lots of whales. No sunset since it ended up raining but had a “whale” of a time. Amazing food and they kept the drinks coming! If you leave hungry it’s your own fault. The live music was a beautiful touch!! Excellent sound and played all the favorites, including sweet Caroline. We had a great time and saw so many whales up close….then they notified us we were refunded for the tour as we returned. Wow!

Amazing all the way around!!

Jane_C, Feb 2026
Unfortunately we weren't able to take the cruise due to weather related issues. However, Sea Maui was very accommodating in communicating with us and allowing us to reschedule or cancel with a refund. A very reputable company!

Wonderful experience!

Kelly_D, Feb 2026
Crew was fantastic!! Kay was so friendly, the music from Tim was great, and the captain led us to see many whales!

Don’t miss this fantastic trip!

Brian_M, Jan 2026
The staff are amazing, the boat is impressive, and the food and drinks were great and plentiful. The highlight of the trip was how many whales we saw, some very close to the boat. A full grown adult breached 100 yard away from our bow, while one baby breached at least a dozen times right beside us. Truly, a fantastic tour that we’d take again, and recommend in a heartbeat.

A whale of a good time

Anthony_T, Jan 2026

Great experience

Donnie_S, Jan 2026
It was an incredible experience. The boat ride was fun. We saw many whales. The food and music were good.

Great Whale Watching!!

Clancy_P, Jan 2026
Amazing whale watching. We saw dozens and dozens up close. Great captain and staff…especially Kyle. Clean boat… great drinks. Food, however, was subpar and not what I expected given other sunset tours I’ve been on.

Sunset dinner cruise

Tyler_N, Jan 2026
Beautiful sunset cruise. We ate and drank well, and saw many whales. A few breached. The boat’s driver needs to work on his whale approach instincts, and I wish he would cut the engines when close to them.

Take this cruise!

Ann_C, Jan 2026
Excellent from beginning to end, but beware of big waves when disembarking- you can end up very wet! Great food, drinks and service - will 100% do this trip again!

Best crew and whale...

Vanessa_T, Jan 2026
