All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

It was very comfortable and refreshing! I felt the Earth as I watched the color of the ocean change. I would like to ride again when I visit next time.

とても心地よく、爽快でした！
海の色が変わっていく様子に地球を感じました。また訪れた際は乗りたいです。

It was a fun cruise. Great view of the fireworks and the food was great. It was very windy and the ocean was pretty choppy, but we know that out of anyone’s control.

The captain and the friendly staff created a wonderful atmosphere on board, making for a very enjoyable sailing experience. We were able to see the streets of Waikiki from offshore, providing a different perspective and allowing us to capture memories with our cameras. One thing that concerned me was that I was asked to submit a paper "liability waiver" when making the reservation, so I searched for a facility to print it early in the morning and brought it with me, but in the end, it was not requested, and I left without submitting it (I was having so much fun that I forgot to submit it, haha). Thank you for the enjoyable time.

キャプテンはじめ気さくなスタッフの皆さんにより船上の雰囲気が一体化してとても楽しいセイリングでした。ワイキキの街並みを沖合から見ることができ、いつもとは違った風景を見ることができ、思い出をカメラに収めました。一つだけ気になることは、予約時に紙での「免責同意書」の提出を求められ、早朝から印刷できる施設を探して持参しましたが結局求められなかったので提出しないまま帰路につきました。（楽しくて提出自体を忘れていました（笑））。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

Fireworks were awesome to watch over the water. The staff made the cruise fun and i enjoyed so much. Stand out on very front of catamaran if you like getting wet.

If you have a plan for sunset-boat in Honolulu, you absolutely have to choose this company.
It was awesome & great. I'll visit you again.
SEE YOU SOON^^

At first, it was calm, and we were having fun with the gentle rocking, but as we went further out to sea, it started to sway quite a bit, which was a little scary and I felt slightly seasick (I had taken motion sickness medication). However, the crew mentioned that it was a windy day, so I think it will sway a lot on windy days.

It's about a one-hour cruise, but I recommend being prepared for some rocking on windy days. On the bright side, all the crew members were very kind and friendly! They communicated a lot with us, and the interior of the ship was clean.

(Note: All safety announcements are in English, so be aware of that.) The view from the ship was amazing, and we could see the Diamond Head from the right side? The back side? from the sea.

Thank you for a wonderful cruise in Hawaii!

最初は穏やか、だんだん揺れてフゥー！♪とか楽しく過ごしてましたが、沖の奥の方に入るとだいぶ揺れて、少し怖い&若干船酔いしました。(酔い止めは飲んでました)
が、この日は風が強いと船員さんが言っていたので、風が強い日はだいぶ揺れると思います。
1時間くらいのクルーズですが、風の強い日は揺れるのを覚悟しておいた方が良いと思います。
ただ、船員さんはみなさん優しく親切でした！コミュニケーションたくさん取ってくれる！船内もキレイでした。
(注意の案内は全て英語なので注意)
船からの眺めは最高で、ダイヤモンドベッドの右側？奥側？も海から見れました。

素晴らしいハワイのクルーズをありがとうございました！

The staff is wonderful.
The ship is cool and spacious.
You can drink as much as you want. It's cheaper to drink here than at a restaurant.

スタッフが素晴らしい。
船がカッコイイし、広い。
飲み放題でしっかり飲めます。レストランで飲むより安くたくさん呑めます。

Highly recommended. Lots of space with a hot tub!

the Polynesian show was lively and engaging with great music and dance, my favorite part of the evening by far!

The crew was friendly, and the vibe was family-friendly and easygoing.

The views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline at golden hour were stunning. The vibe was relaxed and not too jam packed feeling.

This is our third time, in March 2023, March 2024, and June 2024. The refreshing feeling of the yacht, the beauty of the night view, the deliciousness of the Mai Tai, and the thoughtfulness of the crew all contribute to a full experience of enjoying Hawaii. We are a couple with a combined age of 139, but in Hawaii, the "Mai Tai Catamaran" has become a must-do event for us.

Dinner tasted great. Portions were on the small side. Firework show was good, but everyone crowded to one side and it was harder to find a space to look. Lots of people, but still romantic.

I made the right choice by joining this sunset cruise since I can't drink alcohol. We set sail at 5 PM and enjoyed about two and a half hours until sunset, and it was amazing to swim off the coast of Waikiki. The three young crew members operated the catamaran efficiently while ensuring our safety, which was impressive.

お酒が飲めないのでこちらのサンセットクルーズに参加して大正解でした。
夕方5時に出航してサンセットまで約2時間半、ワイキキ沖で泳ぐ事もできて最高でした。若い3人のクルー達が安全に気を付けながらテキパキとカタマランを操作する様子もカッコよかったです。

The trip was only about 1/2 full so it was wonderful have plenty of room to walk about the boat. The music was also great, and happy we picked the day that has live music. There were drinks a plenty, and the food was also delicious. This is a must if your visiting Maui!

This was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful experience. The boat didn't sway much, but occasionally we hit strong waves that splashed water, which was also a fun experience. Most people were enjoying Mai Tais, but since we are not good with alcohol, we opted for soft drinks. Along the way, we saw a rainbow over Diamond Head, and it became a lovely memory with beautiful scenery.

初めて参加しましたが、とてもいい体験でした。船はあまり揺れることがなかったのですが時折強い波に当たると水しぶきが飛んできますがそれも楽しい体験です。ほとんどの人がマイタイを美味しそうに飲んでいましたが、私たちはお酒に弱いのでソフトドリンクにしました。途中ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、すてきな景色も見ることができて良い思い出となりました。

We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!

Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い！
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです！

婚約者の方とお幸せに！
ありがとうございました！

Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.

We enjoyed a relaxing sunset together as a couple. The boat hardly swayed, so we didn't get seasick at all.

夫婦2人でゆったりゆっくりとサンセットを満喫しました。殆ど揺れることもなく船酔いにもなりませんでした。

It was wonderful to enjoy a cruise while feeling the breeze. I was able to leisurely watch the passage of time and the sunset.

風を感じながらのクルーズ。時間の流れと日が沈んでいく様子をゆったりと見ることが出来てとても良かったです。

Dinner was tasty and watching the sunset over the ocean while sailing along the Maui coastline was the perfect pair.

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

The staff was wonderful, and I'm definitely coming back! It was exciting to be able to swim after heading out to sea! The atmosphere was friendly and cheerful!

スタッフが素晴らしく、リピート確定です！沖に出てから泳げるのも盛り上がりました！和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした！

It was an explanation in English, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a wonderful and fun time. Along the way, I was able to see a big rainbow and a monk seal! It was great that there was a place to store our luggage as well.

英語だけの説明だったけど、特に困った事もなくとても素敵で楽しい時間でした。
途中大きな虹、モンクシールも見ることができました！
荷物を入れる所もあってよかったです。

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

It felt like the boat was intentionally swaying more than necessary while in motion. Perhaps due to the wind, it rocked quite a bit up and down, making me feel very nauseous in the second half, which was tough. I think those who are worried about seasickness should take precautions. The sea was beautiful, but I didn't see any dolphins.

必要以上にわざと？揺らして走行していたように感じます。
風の影響もあるのか、かなり上下に揺れたため、後半とても気持ち悪くなり
しんどかったです。
船酔いが心配な方は対策されたほうがいいと思います。
海はきれいでしたが、イルカは見れませんでした。
