    The boat ride was amazing. We were running behind schedule due to traffic. The staff made sure we were able to board. The boat driver was very skilled and we got a great view of the fireworks. The staff was very friendly and made the trip fun.

    Amazing firework charter experience

    Kailene_N, Oct 2025
    The staff were amazing and very personable and made everyone feel safe and comfortable! I would highly recommend this company for Friday night firework views

    Nice time out.

    Rick_M, Oct 2025
    A nice crew , that made us feel welcomed. Appreciate the light snack and drink. Time on the water was just right for the price. Firework show was short, not a complaint. The complaint was the floor of the boat was not comfortable, tore up my feet. Had blisters the next day. Bring socks.

    Great

    It was wonderful and the staff was very friendly. I would most definitely do this again with more people.

    A great choice for a sunset cruise:)

    Matt_M, Jul 2025
    When booking these sunset cruises out of Waikiki we were faced with large boats with more facilities and more people, versus smaller boats maybe with less ‘glam’ but also with far less people. The ‘small boat’ was a great choice! 20’ish people on board made for a more ‘real’ and intimate experience. Our guide and boat skipper were great!

    Aloha! Thank you for the positive review. We hope we can make it a 5 start for you next time. Thank you for choosing our small family run business 🤙🏽

    A Fun, Beautiful, and Memorable Experience!

    This boat ride to view the fireworks was a truly memorable experience for our family. As first-time visitors to Hawaii, this excursion provided a beautiful introduction to the islands and helped set the tone for our trip. The event was well organized, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the snacks provided were both creative and delicious. It was a wonderful way to spend quality time together and create lasting memories. Highly recommended for families and first-time visitors alike

    The crew is very friendly...

    Penny_H, Apr 2025
    The crew is very friendly and made sure we had snacks and drinks for our cruise over to see the fireworks. My only complaint is I wished we would have cruised a little more before the fireworks. But other than that, we all had a great time.

    Good time. Water choppy so i was a little nauseous. Fireworks good just short. The chips and pineapple were great.

    It was a really nice boat...

    Camryn_L, Feb 2025
    It was a really nice boat ride! They provided some yummy snacks and cool music. The negatives were we had to take our shoes off and it was expensive for what it was.

    Very smooth ride good...

    Great crew. Captain gave us a very nice cruise. I would highly recommend this tour group. I wish the fireworks lasted more than 5 minutes.

    Amazing

    Thanks for making this experience one that we will never forget

    Teresa_J, Oct 2024
    This was amazing. You don't have to always go the extravagant way to experience the simpler things in life. This cruise was wonderful. Just the right amount of people where you feel that extra attention. The young lady made her rounds with the customers without being overly bothersome. The boat was perfect, scenery, weather and conversation everything was great my grandson age 10 said "once in a life time". Thank you. Great job
