Capt and crew were anazing. They were very personable and made a great relaxing sail. Food was not too heavy but enough to keep you going. Drinks were strong and delicious, overall amazing sail. Most people were either looking to go back out on the snorkeling trip or had come from it earlier in the day. That good of a sail.

The Pride of Maui sunset cruise was the highlight of our trip to Maui! The crew was wonderful and welcoming and the drinks were plentiful. Dinner time rolled around and was served buffet style. Everyone was obliging and the food was tasty. I highly recommend the chicken and the onion tartlet! There were live musicians who played fun Latin jazz the entire evening, and the top deck plays more variety for the hip crowd. Needless to say, the whales were amazing! There were so many of them! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Pride of Maui could not come more highly recommended. This would not have been made so easy without the booking process at Veltra. They made it super easy and we were happy with the customer service.

I participated after dinner. You take off your shoes and go barefoot. After departure, the DJ played upbeat music, making it feel like a club on the boat. I was able to request various cocktails from the bartender. It was great that we stopped at the best spot to enjoy the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, but even though I couldn't understand English, everyone was friendly and it became a fun memory. There is a restroom, but it's small and not very convenient, so I think it's better to take care of that before boarding.
夕食後に参加しました。靴を脱いで裸足で乗ります。出港後はDJがノリのイイ音楽をかけてくれ、船上のクラブみたいでした。カクテルもバーテンダーに色々リクエストできました。花火をベストスポットが見られる場所に止まって観賞できてよかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語が分からなくてもみんなワキアイアイと話しかけてきてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。トイレはありますが、小さくて使いづらいので乗る前に済ませてきた方がいいと思います。

We had a lot of fun on this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The service was excellent. We went on the fireworks cruise which was very nice. The crab legs were very good. The food was good, but could have been warmer. It may be hard on such a big boat. The only other thing that could have done better is we took the transportation from hotel to the boat and when we got there and started walking the girl leading us never talked to us just talked to another person and we just tried to keep up her so we knew where to go. When we got to boat we followed her on and went on wrong way and were corrected and told to go on another way. We were just following her on. She never turned around and said go on this way or have a good time. It was a little odd. Other than that it was a good time.

I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!
Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.
The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!

We had a great time on the sunset cruise! It had of course had great views, the captain stopped a couple times to let us watch some whales playing! The staff, Ian, Jason and Colin were helpful and friendly; the waters were a little rough, so they really showed our concern for our safety and comfort. The drinks, appetizers and sandwiches were all very good, very fresh. I would highly recommend this excursion!

I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.

I have used this service several times before, but this time I enjoyed it with a total of 11 friends from the yacht club. The men were happily watching as a cute woman set the mainsail and jib. Of course, we savored the beautiful scenery of the sunset cruising off Waikiki, the gentle waves, and the swaying sails catching the wind. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us yacht lovers to enjoy the waters of Hawaii. I was truly delighted to have introduced and arranged this cruise, allowing everyone to share in the excitement together.
今までも何度か利用させていただいてますが、今回はヨットクラブの仲間総勢11名で楽しませていただきました。メインもジブも、キュートな女性がセットする様子を男性陣はニコニコと楽しんでいました。もちろん、ワイキキ沖のサンセットクルージングの風景や風、ここちよい波の揺れと風を受ける帆のゆらぎ、ヨット好きの面子にはたまらないハワイの海を堪能しました。ご紹介して手配して、皆さまをご一緒にクルーズに乗っていただいて感動を共有できましたこと、本当にうれしく思いました。

It was a sunset that gave me a satisfaction level of 120%, as if to say, "Such a beautiful place exists on Earth." The captain was handsome, haha. Beyond where the captain was pointing, were those whales? Dolphins? I couldn't understand the English, so I wasn't sure, but about two appeared! A few times.
There was no Japanese at all, so I didn't understand any explanations, but that was totally fine, haha. Just a point to note: the cruise ship doesn't have a restroom, so make sure to take care of that beforehand, and you might get wet up to your knees when boarding, so wearing clothes that can get wet and flip-flops is recommended. On the way back, I gave a tip to the captain and the woman who made drinks for us.
Also, before boarding the ship, they take a photo of you, but after it's done, they hand you the finished photo as if it's a complimentary service, but of course, it's not free, haha. It's $20, which is quite expensive, haha. But it made for some really great memories!! I had a lot of fun (^ - ^)
こんな綺麗な場所が地球上にあるんだ。。と言うくらいの満足度120%のサンセットでした。。
キャプテンがイケメンでしたw
そのキャプテンが指差す向こうには、あれはくじら?イルカ?英語が聞き取れなかったのでわからなかったですが、2匹くらい出現しました!何回か。
日本語は一切ないので、説明も一切分かりませんでしたが、全然大丈夫でしたww
ただ注意する点は、クルーズ船にはトイレがないので直前に済ませておくことと、乗り込む時に膝下まで濡れるので濡れていい服、ビーサンなどがオススメです。帰りにはキャプテンとお酒を作ってくれる女性にチップを渡しました。
それと、船に乗り込む前に写真を撮ってくれるのですが、終わった後出来上がった写真をあたかもサービスのようにして渡してきますが、もちろんタダではありませんw
$20で激高ですwww
でも、とてもいい思い出作りになりました!!
楽しかったです(^-^)

I applied with my father, mother, younger sister, and myself!
My sister and I are on our third overseas trip, while it's my parents' first.
Last time we came to Oahu, we wanted to try this, but when we attempted to make a reservation on-site, it was already fully booked, so we decided to carry it over to this time. I recommend making a reservation in Japan.
We were the only Japanese participants, but the crew was very kind and communicated with us in broken Japanese.
During the cruise, cocktails and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was atmospheric music, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike! There were also portable toilets, which was reassuring.
Of course, the sunset was absolutely satisfying! Although it was a bit cloudy that day, we were still able to have a wonderful time feeling the Hawaiian breeze.
As the sun began to set, it got a little chilly, so it's good to have a windbreaker or hoodie during this season.
I plan to visit again with friends in May, and I would like to participate again then!
父と母、妹と私の4人で申し込みました‼
妹と私は3度目、父と母は初めての海外旅行でした。
前回、オアフに来たときに乗ってみたい!!と現地で予約を試みたのですが、すでに予約がいっぱいで今回に持ち越すことになりました。日本で予約するのがオススメです。
日本人の参加者は私たちだけでしたが、クルーがとっても親切でカタコトの日本語で対応をしてくれました。
Cruise中はカクテルやソフトドリンクは飲み放題、雰囲気のあるmusicも流れていて家族でもカップルでも友達同士でも楽しめそうです♪簡易トイレもついているので安心です。
もちろんsunsetも大満足!!!!この日は少し曇っていましたが、それでもハワイの風を感じながら最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
日が暮れ始めると肌寒くなってくるので、この時期は風よけのパーカーなどがあるといいですね。
5月にまた友人と訪れる予定ですが、そのときにもまた参加したいと思います‼

This was my second time participating. I had a great time for a full two hours. However, when boarding the boat, there was a system where photos were taken by group, and then shown to us when we disembarked, which was a bit confusing. It costs $20. I didn't buy one, but I felt bad about declining. There are probably people who want the photos, so I think it would be better to only take pictures for those who request them. The staff is friendly.
今回で2回目の参加でした。たっぷり二時間楽しめました。
ただ、船に乗り込むとき、グループごとに写真を撮り、下船したとき見せられるシステムになっていて、戸惑いました。20ドルです。私は買いませんでしたが、ことわるのが悪いような気がしました。写真がほしい方もいるでしょうから、リクエストある方だけ撮るようにしたほうが良いとおもいます。 スタッフはフレンドリーです。

The cocktail cruise features only Mai Tai cocktails, but there is a wide variety of drinks available, including wine, beer, and soft drinks. It seems that reservations can be made right by the beach, and on the day I participated, it was fully booked with mostly Western participants. The staff only speaks English, so I was initially worried about whether I would enjoy it, but as the drinks flowed and the music started, the atmosphere gradually became lively. When a bonito jumped out of the sea, everyone gasped in awe, and when a whale's tail was spotted, there was a collective cheer. Then, at the moment the sun began to set, a whale jumped right in front of everyone’s gaze. Fortunately, we all got to share that fleeting scene of the sunset and the whale together. Oh my gosh! It became an unforgettable memory. If you take a seat on the left side of the boat, you can enjoy the sunset directly in front of you on the way back.
カクテルはマイタイだけのマイタイ・クルーズです。ワインやビール、ソフトドリンクなど飲み物は豊富です。
ビーチ脇でも予約が取れるようで参加した日は満席で欧米人の参加者がほとんどでした。
スタッフは英語しか喋りません。なので最初は楽しめるか不安ですが、お酒が入って音楽が鳴り始めるとだんだん盛り上がってきます。
カツオが海を跳ねるとオゥと皆で感嘆し、クジラの尻尾が見えるとワーッとなります。
そしていよいよ日が沈む瞬間、皆の視線の先でクジラが飛び跳ねました。
とてもラッキーなことに夕焼けとクジラの一瞬の光景を全員で共有できました。オーマイガッ!
忘れられない思い出になりました。
船の進行方向に対して左側の席を取ると帰り道に正面でサンセットを見ることができますよ。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we wanted to enjoy a lovely sunset, so our family of four decided to take this cruise. We boarded from the pier right in front of the Hilton, and the kids were able to play on the beach during the waiting time, which made it a stress-free experience. When the sun began to set, we left our shoes before boarding and didn't need to bring much else. The boat was relatively large and had restrooms. There were benches in both a sheltered area to avoid the sun and wind, as well as an outdoor area. They offered light snacks, but it was just chips and cookies. That day, it was just us and one other couple from abroad. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, and we cruised until the city lights came on, but it was really windy and cold!!! I wore a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker, but my feet were bare and got chilly... The boat was rocking, and my 2-year-old got seasick and was in a bad mood. It was quite a long time, so I felt sorry for him. I think the atmosphere and facilities are good, so I recommend this for families with small children during warmer seasons!
ハワイ到着日にサンセットで素敵な雰囲気をと思い家族4人で利用しました。ヒルトンの目の前の桟橋から乗船するため、待ち時間も子どもたちは砂浜で遊ぶなどゆったりとストレスありませんでした。陽が傾きかけたころ、乗船前に靴を預けて裸足で乗る以外は特に持ち物は要りません。比較的大きな船でお手洗いもあります。陽射しや風を避ける壁がついたエリアと外のエリアにベンチがあります。軽食とありますがスナック菓子、クッキー程度です。その日は私たちと他外国人のご夫婦1組だけでした。残念ながらサンセットは見えず、その後街がライトアップするまでクルージングするのですが、何せ風もすごいし寒い!!!長袖にウィンドブレーカーを着ていきましたが、足元は裸足だし冷えました・・・。うねりがあって揺れたこともあり、2歳の子どもは船酔いしてしまい、機嫌も悪く、更に結構時間が長いので可哀想なことをしました。雰囲気設備は良いと思うので、小さなお子さんがいる方は暖かい季節をおススメいたします!

We took this cruise as a final romantic night to complete out honeymoon, and couldn't have made a better choice! The crew was very friendly and entertaining, it felt as though they were a little family who'd invited us to enjoy their boat with them. Our bartender was a fun guy who poured great drinks, including their special "Hightide." I won't give away the recipe, but of course it involves significant parts Rum, Tropical Fruit, and Delicious.
Ship was smooth sailing, giving us a nice calm view of Waikiki and the setting sun across the Pacific. The route taken goes out from the harbor and past Diamond Head, allowing for a wonderful view of it. Hiking to see the view from atop Diamond Head is one thing, but seeing the whole peak from sea is quite another treat. You'll get the feeling of a visiting explorer from the past, watching that peak and shore slip into view. Only difference is you're on a luxury cruise with Hightide in hand and some great party music playing.
Our crew even managed to find us whales, and made sure we got a great view. Saw several surface, blowholes blasting, a fluke raise, and even a calf breach! Despite some other snorkel boats mentioning the possibility of whales, this was the first time we'd gotten to see them. Even more exciting that they were so close!
Thanks again to the whole crew for making this such a wonderfull sail. Loved the food and drinks, danced to the classic hits being played, sat on the mesh net across the double bow, and ended our honeymoon with a beautiful sunset on the sea.
Definitely booking the Makati again whenever we make it back to Waikiki!
