All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We had to reschedule due to President Trump's visit to Oahu and disruption of island traffic. They were very accommodating and pleasant in assisting us. We may have missed the fire works but the views were awesome, the music pleasant, and the dinner varied/good! Mahalo to the Capt and crew!!

Our sail was outstanding! The crew was amazing and attentive! Emily and Carrie were friendly and helpful! Aaron put us all at ease! Would go again in a heartbeat!

It is a must do in Waikiki, great crew and sail, we had a beautiful night on the ocean with beautiful fireworks from Hilton village.

As residents of Honolulu, we have a lot of houseguests, and we always offer to take them on the sunset & Friday fireworks dinner sail. It's a fun way to see Waikiki and watch the fireworks. The food and beverages are tasty and plentiful, and the crew is very friendly. We never tire of it!

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.

As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).

**Message from the tour company:**

There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.

I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.

I hope for improvements!

ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった！
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは？

ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ（ポロシャツ可）、長ズボン（ジーンズ可）、靴（スニーカー可）くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。


※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※

コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど？？
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。

最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。

改善を期待します！

It was bad timing with President Trump's visit, but everything proceeded on schedule without any issues. The night view and fireworks were great, but the buffet on the ship was somewhat disappointing in taste. Most of the main meal was on the sweeter side, which was disappointing; the only thing that was really good was the lobster. I was satisfied with the fruits and vegetables. I was able to see the fireworks from a good spot on the deck, so I was happy with that, although the duration was short.

トランプ大統領の来島とのバッドタイミングでしたが、無事に定刻どおり進みました。夜景と花火は、良かったのですが、船内のバイキングは、いまいちの味でした。メインミールの味付けが殆ど甘めで、ガッカリでした、唯一美味しかったのは、ロブスターくらいかな〜
フルーツと、野菜等は満足はしました。
花火は、デッキの良い場所から見れましたので、満足でした。ただ、時間は短かったです。

The buffet selection was lacking, but the cozy Hawaiian music and the fireworks in front of the Hilton added a bit of excitement.

ビュッフェ内容は物足りなかったが、小じんまりとしたハワイアンソングとヒルトン前の花火で少し盛り上がった。

Everything was great! The bartender, lifeguard, deck lady Alex (I think was her name) was awesome! Great drinks and music! Thanks for a fantastic time! We will be back

A great trip, great boat, wonderful crew! The food was great, the music was super! Can’t say anything negative about this trip the crew went out of their way to make you feel welcome

The weather was nice, and it was great to be able to drink alcohol. It would have been better if there were fewer people on the boat. There were too many, and it felt like we were going to bump into each other.

天気も良くて、お酒も飲めて良かったです。
もう少し船の中の人数が少ないと良かった。
多すぎて、ぶつかりそうでした。

Due to rain that evening, there was no sunset. But three of us enjoyed the dinner and live entertainment. Fortunately, we were seated at a table right in front. Our waiter, Ethan was superb! He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Dinner was delicious! Would recommend this event.

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a truly beautiful sunset. Surrounded by a fun captain and mostly non-Japanese guests, I had a wonderful time even though I don't understand much English. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and no one got wet at all. We stepped into the sea a few steps to board the boat, and then we were barefoot inside the boat the whole time. You can see a different view of Diamond Head too! I definitely want to join again if I have the chance!

お天気にも恵まれ、本当にきれいなサンセットを見ることができました。楽しい船長さんと、ほとんど日本人以外のお客さんに囲まれて、英語があまり分からなくてもとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。船は思ったより揺れず、全員全く濡れませんでした。海に数歩入って階段を登って乗船、その後ずっと船内裸足です。ダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもと違う顔が見られますよ～。機会があればぜひまた参加したいです！

Great time with a great crew! Yummy cocktails, too!

I’ve done alot of catamaran ridees in waikiki as a local. This one was good, but not the best. The boat is good, the crew is great! There are many catamarans to choose from and this one would be my #2 choice. They only do either a sunset or a firework cruise, but not both, however it’s about half the price of my #1. #1 would be the Molikini friday night sunset/firework/dinner catamaran. This boat is good for the value and you will definitely enjoy it.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of cruising, so I decided to participate. The boat was about the size of a cross between a cruiser and a yacht; however, if you are prone to seasickness, you should take motion sickness medication in advance, as there can be enough rocking to make you feel sick. I had a coupon for one free drink, but when I upgraded to a larger size, I was charged normally. All the staff were locals, so if you don't speak English, it can be difficult to understand these things. The food was light snacks, so that was a bit of a letdown. On the day of the cruise, there was also a rainbow, and the weather was nice, so overall, I was fairly satisfied.

ハワイといえばクルージングと思い、参加しました。
クルーザとヨットの中間くらいの大きさの船でした、ただし船酔いがひどい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおかないと、船酔いするくらいの揺れはあります。
ドリンク1杯無料のクーポンを持っていたのにサイズを大きくしたら、普通にお金をとられました。スタッフは全員現地の人なので、英語が話せないとこの辺がよくわからないです。料理は軽食だったのでそこです。当日は虹もでていて、天気も良かったので総合的にはそれなりに満足できました。

It was my first catamaran tour, and there were over 40 people on the tour, but there were no other Japanese participants. Since all the instructions were in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a great time. The Mai Tai was very delicious, and since it was all-you-can-drink, I also had some wine. The next day it rained, so I was glad it was a sunny day!

初めてのカタマランツアー、40名を越えるツアーでしたが日本人もいなく、注意事項は全て英語の為わからないこと多かったですが特に困ることはなく、楽しくすごせました。マイタイもとてもおいしく飲み放題のためワインも頂きました。翌日は雨のため晴れた日で良かったです‼️

Very impresssed with the cat, cruise and the staff.

Thanks. We will do it again. Hope sunset will be awesome.

My friend and I took this Catamaran trip last week and it was wonderful. The crew (Cap’ts Carrie & Kevin) were fabulous as were the servers. The food was great and just being out on the water was amazing! The best thing we did while there!

What an awesome way to see the Friday Fireworks. The crew on board were great fun.
We thought the drinks package was great value & would highly recommend it.

Would highly recommend!! We enjoyed this so so much! Very professional and polite crew!!

Since it was a catamaran, I didn't have to worry about seasickness and enjoyed plenty of free drinks like Mai Tais and champagne. I wish I had brought some snacks... The scenery is wonderful. It's romantic. As we got closer to Diamond Head, there was a lot of noise with dancing and singing to the music. It was about an hour, but it was fun. We took commemorative photos before boarding and bought them on the way back.

カタマランなので、船酔いの心配もなくフリードリンクのマイタイやシャンパンを沢山頂きました。おつまみ持参すれば良かったかな・・・
景色が素晴らしいです。
ロマンチックです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくと音楽に合わせてダンスしたり歌ったりと大騒ぎでした。
約１時間でしたが楽しかったです
記念写真を乗船前にとってもらい、帰りに買いました。

Honestly, I didn't expect it to be that much fun. I would like to sign up for the sunset cruising next year.

正直、あんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした、来年はサンセットクルージングにお申し込みしたいと思います。

Great cruise!!! So picturesque and so much fun!!! Recommend ++++ met some great people!

It was awesome! The Captain was hilarious! Drinks were delicious! The view of Waikiki from the boat was great, and the sunset was beautiful. Met some lovely people. Highly recommend!!

It was fun night! Loved the sail and atmosphere. The crew was terrific. I think I would enjoy the music be a little louder and the boat could go a little faster and further out. Other than that, it was a great sail!

The fireworks were shorter than I expected (about 5 minutes), so I thought it might not have been necessary to take the boat just for that. However, the atmosphere on the boat with the dining, dancing, and performances, as well as the night view, was very nice. I got seasick as soon as we boarded and couldn't move from my seat much, but the staff was very attentive and considerate. They took photos during boarding and would come around to sell them later. We decided to have the data sent to us via email, but there was no Wi-Fi on the boat, so I couldn't confirm the data reception. Later, it turned out that the data hadn't been sent, but I consulted with VELTRA, and they were able to send it to me after I returned to Japan. I was very grateful for their help. I think it's better to receive the photos in physical form.

予想していたよりも、花火は短かったので（５分くらい）、わざわざ花火のために船に乗らなくても良かったかなと思います。ただ、船上でのお食事や、踊りや演奏など、夜景など雰囲気はとても良かったです。乗船してすぐに船酔いしてしまい、ほとんど席から動くことはできなくなりましたが、スタッフの方たちは、いろいろ気にかけて下さいました。また、乗船時に写真を撮り、後で売りに来ます。私たちはデータのみメール送信してもらうことにしましたが、船内にwifiがなくデータ受信が確認できませんでした。あとで、送られていないことが判明しましたが、VELTRAの方に相談して、日本に帰国してからデータを送ってもらうことができました。VELTRAの方にも大変お世話になりました。写真は、やはり実物で受け取ったほうが良いと思いました。

I participated in this tour because it was the only one that offered hotel pick-up for the sunset sailing. The price is a bit high, but the experience was great, and I was able to see the beautiful sunset. The night view of Waikiki from the sea afterward was also amazing.

サンセットセーリングでホテルまで送迎していただけるツアーがこのツアーのみだったので参加しました。値段は少し高いですが、内容は良くて夕日も綺麗に見れてそのあと海から見るワイキキの夜景も最高でした。

this boat ride was absolutely amazing. I would do it again. I loved that you can book it all online and show up the day of, super easy. I called them to get clarification and they were more than helpful. The ride was more than expected. Both of the guys working were energetic and funny. They made the ride very fun, while still giving everyone their own time to hang out and take photos. The open bar was obviously a great perk also. I really enjoyed the sunset cruise and would love to try one of the other ones they do.

We had a really good time, Great crew, awesome scenery, fab cocktails - Just wish it lasted a bit longer..
