My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little apprehensive as the yacht looked quite small compared to the number of people waiting to board. But once we were on board, there was plenty of room for everyone. There was a bar on board with a wide range of drinks to choose from (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). I wasn't too crazy about the food; it was too bland for my taste and because I do not like BBQ chicken. Some normal American food (bread, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes) would have made me a super happy camper. The ride was smooth for the most part and I loved the fact that the captain turned the yacht around when we spotted Dolphins and we were able to get a up close and personal look. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time on the water and a beautiful sunset.

The day we participated, there was hardly any wind, so it didn't sway at all! However, since it's a small boat, it seemed like it would sway a lot on windy days. After the ride, the boat quickly heads back, so if you want to take pictures with the boat, make sure to do it beforehand or get off the boat early!
わたしたちが参加した日は全然風がなくて揺れませんでした!ただ、大きくない船なので風の強い日はすごく揺れそうでした。乗り終わった後はさっさと船は帰って行ってしまうので船とともに写真を撮りたい方は先に撮っておくか早い目に船から降りましょう!

It seemed as though the staff was just trying to rush through their shift so they could get home. It was about 90 degrees outside and the staff were all dressed in formal wear and sweating like crazy. Considering the fact that the condition/cleanliness of the boat was mediocre at best and that the chairs were cheap plastic patio chairs bolted to the upper deck, I think the staff would have been better suited in shorts and short sleeve shirts. Then, maybe they wouldn't have seemed so miserable and rushed to get done with their shift. Also, when my wife and I booked the dinner cruise, we weren't told we would be seated with another couple. I think we should have given the option of being charged less to sit with strangers. It definitely was not worth the nearly $200 for my wife and I.

I participate every time I come to Hawaii. I've joined various optional tours, but this one is the most fun. This time, we were the only two Japanese people, and there was a newlywed couple and their family participating, so it felt like their party. Even in such a situation, I think we were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to the sky and sea of Waikiki. We had a great view of the sunset, but I ended up drinking too much, influenced by those around me. If you're staying in Waikiki and don't get seasick, I definitely recommend joining.
ハワイに来るたびに参加しています。いろんなオプショナルツアーに参加しましたが、これが一番楽しいです。今回は、珍しく日本人は我々2名のみ。新婚さんとその家族が参加されており、その人たちのパーティーのようにもなってました。こんな状況でさえ、楽しめるのは、ワイキキの空と海のおかげだと思います。夕焼けもバッチリ見えましたが、周りにつられ、飲みすぎてしまいました。ワイキキに宿泊される方、船に酔わない方はぜひ参加ください。

CONS: It was a super hot and muggy day. We were all pouring sweat and looking forward to finally getting some A/C but then we were told that we would all be on the roof top. While I appreciate the view, we just started meting. We understand that the crew can not control the weather but why could we have not had the option to be on a lower level on days like that? We could see all of our salads sitting in a warm room and it was wilted by the time it came out. Some of the staff looked unclean in terms of their uniform. Which concerns me about what the kitchen looks like. The food was terrible, the chicken and Mahi Mahi was as dry as could be and neither my husband or myself could eat the fish. I thought that there was going to be dancing but there was no room unless you went below and just made your own dance floor. The worst part was that you have to sit with people at your table that you do not know. We were not well matched up. This was our honeymoon and we did not expect that we would have to curb our conversation or affection to make the much older couple feel comfortable. We paid way too much money for this and we feel we definitely did not come even close to getting our monies worth. We did like how they served us a Mai Tai right away when we sat down but would have preferred to pick what we wanted and not have that count as one of our 3 drinks. We found it tacky that we were given a check at the end just to remind us to pay gratuity.
PROS: Our waiter was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. The bartender was great, good personality and drinks. The live music was nice and the singer had a great voice. The style was perfect for the cruise. The view was wonderful while we were cruising and it did cool down once we were out to see.

We took 20 people on this cruise as part of our pre-wedding, Welcome to Hawaii event. It was absolutely perfect. The drinks were flowing, the crew members were friendly and outgoing, and the boat was big enough that we didn't feel jammed in - we had plenty of room to spread out and mingle with the whole group. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Totally worth the cost!

As my review title highlights, it is pretty much self-explanatory what I'm going to describe about this event that took place on August the 28th, 2015. It was one of the most exciting moments of our lifetime. Since we booked this event we have been looking forward to it. Finally when the time arrived we boarded Makani Catamaran with a wonderful reception from the crews. They were all very funny and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well organized. We sailed on time and were at the fireworks at the right moment. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with beautiful music. On the top of that we were also given a free drink. Had a nice opportunity to view the sunset as well. It was everything that you can expect on your first event in Hawaii!

On March 6th, I participated in a sunset cruise. First, I was worried about getting seasick, but it didn't rock as much as I thought, so I was fine. It was a bit chilly, but I got to see a beautiful rainbow and sunset, which was fantastic. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was great. I did get a little splashed, but that was fun in its own way. I highly recommend it!

まず、船酔いが心配だったのですが、思ったほど揺れなくて大丈夫でした。
少し肌寒ったのですが、きれいな虹と夕日が見れたので最高でした。

The weather was uncertain, but it held up, and just in time for sunset, the clouds cleared, allowing us to enjoy the sunset beautifully. Surrounded by cheerful Americans visiting from the mainland and Koreans living in Japan, I had a great time on the cruise, experiencing a boat that sped close to the water even after sunset. The staff provided attentive service, making it a very pleasant tour, and I'm glad I participated.

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best cruising experience. This time, we were a group of six: an elderly couple in their 70s, a 4-year-old, a 1-year-old, and my spouse and I. The waves were calmer than expected, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunset without any rocking. Also, as the name suggests, the Mai Tai Catamaran offered unlimited Mai Tais, which was satisfying. Although my English skills are limited, I was able to board smoothly without any inconvenience. It was nice to see that most of the guests were foreigners, with only a few Japanese families. I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii.
天気に恵まれ最高のクルージングとなりました。今回は70歳の老夫婦と4歳1歳と私たち夫婦の6人でお世話になりました。思ったより穏やかな波で揺れることなく、夕陽もとてもきれいに楽しめました。また、マイタイカタマラン号というだけにマイタイ飲み放題で満足です。英語力がないのですが、なんとなくすんなり乗船でき、不便はまったくありませんでした。日本人も二、三組で外人がほとんどなのが、また良かったです。またハワイに来たら利用したいです。

We booked this with our 3 girls, ages 8, 8 & 10. This is a very family-friendly activity, and the girls interacted with other kids on the boat to make the experience better. The catamaran is comfortable and sails extremely well. We went all the way around Diamond Head before sunset, really good views! Dinner was salad, tofu rolls, chicken, beef, and extremely tasty. Not luxurious (if you want that, take the Star of Honolulu...for much more money!). The bar was well stocked. Sunset was beautiful. We had front row seats for the Hilton fireworks. The kids stayed interested and engaged the whole 3 hours, and adults had fun too! Transportation to and from Waikiki was efficient and on time.
Great value and highly recommended.

There were many participants who were not Japanese. It seemed like there were students and some fun guys who were really getting into the party atmosphere, which made it enjoyable for us as well. When I looked towards the edge, I noticed someone with a pale blue face holding a bucket, so those who are prone to seasickness might need to be prepared. The weather wasn't great, but the fun atmosphere made it a memorable cruise.

We loved the dinner cruise!!! The staff were awesome. Very friendly, willing to talk and answer questions. First captain was probably sick of taking pictures for everyone by the end :) The food was great also. There was plenty for each person and then some. The buffet style was great so everyone could eat when and where they wanted not to formal. Relaxed and casual just like we wanted. Timing was perfect to see the sunset and the view was beautiful. Everyone was good about rotating on the nets to make sure everyone else got time. The only thing I would change about this experience is make it an adult only cruise. Everything else was great!!!

I had a great time. It felt like I was invited onto a friend's yacht, and everything was so friendly. I used it on the evening of my arrival in Hawaii, and I felt fine; I wished I could have stayed on longer. I regret not being able to speak English better, as it might have made the experience even more enjoyable. However, even without speaking English, the rainbow and sunset I saw from Waikiki Beach, along with the time spent with people from various countries, felt like a scene from a movie and still seems like a dream to me.
楽しかったです。まるで知り合いのヨットに誘われたかのような感じで、すべてがフレンドリーでした。ハワイ到着日の夕方に利用しましたが、体調も変わりなくもっと乗っていたかったです。自分が英会話ができたらもっと楽しかったかなと反省しています。でも英語ができなくてもワイキキビーチから見た虹や夕焼け、多国籍の人々と過ごした時間は映画のワンシーンのようにロマンチックで今でも夢のようです。

I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.

I was able to enjoy a luxurious cruise while listening to upbeat music and having unlimited drinks. At first, I was worried about getting seasick or if the boat would sway, but the other passengers were also in high spirits, and we were able to enjoy the slight rocking like it was an amusement park ride. There were many foreigners on board, and although I was initially anxious, they were actually more lively than the Japanese passengers, and we all had a great time together. The excitement when the sun was setting reached its peak. When we passed by other cruise ships, we waved at each other and cheered, which added to the excitement. This time, I participated with my mother and sister, and both of them praised the cruise throughout our trip. Next time I visit, I will definitely book the catamaran sunset cruise again.
ノリノリな音楽を聴きながら、しかもドリンク飲み放題で優雅なクルーズを楽しむことができました。
はじめは船酔いしないか、揺れないか心配でしたが、まわりの乗客の皆さんもノリノリで多少の揺れもテーマパークのアトラクションのように楽しめました。外国人の方も多くはじめは不安でしたが、むしろ日本人よりノリがよく一緒に盛り上がることができました。
夕日が沈む瞬間の盛り上がりは最高潮に達していました。また他のクルーズ船とすれ違う際には手を振りあいお互いの歓声でまたひと盛り上がりしました。今回は母と妹の3人で参加しましたが、両者とも旅行期間中クルーズのことを絶賛していました。次回訪れた際も必ずカタマランのサンセットクルーズを申し込みます。

This cruise was horrible for many reasons!! First it was not the boat in description, there was no glass bottom. Second the bartenders where just very rude and had no people skills. You could tell they didn't want to be there and didn't care if we knew it. The food was actually really good and hot.No tables to eat it on though. But and I wish we had taken a picture. We drove out maybe 20 mins pulled to the driest part of the mountains and sat. The only thing to look at was the wind turbines and cars. Sat for about hr and was back at the harbor before sun down. This is our second time on Maui. When we come back this will not be a repeat cruise!!!

Due to the time of sunset, our departure was delayed by about 30 minutes. While waiting, we took photos with the boat and Diamond Head in the background and played in the ocean. Before departure, they took a commemorative photo of each family (available for purchase at $20 upon disbanding).
Onboard, there was an unlimited supply of Mai Tais and soft drinks, along with a tip service. The Mai Tais were incredibly delicious, so I had quite a few refills! About one-third of the guests were Japanese, but it was quite lively, and the breeze felt nice. The captain was cheerful, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset moment on the boat was truly moving. Depending on the weather, I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Of course, the photos taken before we set out turned out great, and I felt good about purchasing them.
日の入りの時間の関係で出発予定のより30分ほど遅れての出航、それまで船とダイヤモンドヘッドを背景に写真を撮ったり海で遊んだりして待ちました。

船上ではマイタイ、ソフトドリンクの飲み放題、チップのサービスがありました。マイタイは大変美味しかったのでたくさんおかわりしました^^;船上も日本人は1/3くらいでしたが、かなり賑やかで風も気持ちよく、船長さんも陽気でかなり賑やかで心地よい空間でした。
