All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

Good appetizers, drinks and fun crew. Recommended.

The staff were welcoming, informative and helpful. The boat ride was enjoyable. The location where we snorkeled was underwhelming. We did see tiny, colorful fish, and some corals, but nothing else of note.

Amazing private experience and would recommend to anyone! Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

The Napali Coast tour on a medium-sized boat is highly recommended. Since the boarding time is long, a small boat lacks a roof and has limited restroom facilities. With a large boat, you can't get close to the cliffs, and the boat speed is slow. A medium-sized boat offers the best of both worlds. We were able to go right under the waterfalls cascading from the cliffs and experience the spray. The captain navigated the boat professionally, and the two female staff members kept the atmosphere lively with their smiles. When we gave tips upon disembarking, all the staff responded with "thank you" in Japanese. We were also very satisfied and enjoyed the long tour with smiles. I highly recommend it.

ナパリコーストは中型船でのツアーがおすすめ。乗船時間が長いので小型船だと屋根がなくトイレも限定的。大型船だと岩壁近くに近寄れず船速も遅い。中型船は良いとこ取りです。岩壁から流れ落ちる滝の真下に入ってくれて滝に打たれることが出来ました。船長はプロフェッショナルな船裁き、女性2名の添乗スタッフも笑顔で適切に盛り上げてくれました。チップを下船時に渡したら、全スタッフから「ありがとう」の日本語が返ってきました。こちらも笑顔で大満足で長いツアーを楽しめました。おすすめです。

Highly recommended. Lots of space with a hot tub!

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!

What can I say?
Sam and Macie were absolutely outstanding
We had a great time! I felt well taken care of - especially having had a knee replacement~
They were EXTREMLY helpful in every aspect!
The guides were hilarious outgoing and made us felt welcoming and comfortable the entire time! They were very informative! We had a blast!!! We had a party of six: my hub and I and four adult kids 18-22.
We seen turtles and all kinds of cool fish!
Thank you so much for an enjoyable excursion! This was worth it! Everyone loved it! Thanks for the memory! Hawaii 2025!
Thank you!!

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!

Francesco and Ella were phenomenal. We had kids aged 9,5, and 3 with us. The two youngest were freaked out and didn’t want to go in the water. Francesco stayed with them while myself, my wife, and the 9 year old went snorkeling. Ella was very knowledgeable and patient. Thank you both for your hospitality and putting up with the kids. I recommend anyone try this out, it’s so much better than being on crowded boat, especially if you have kids.

Captain Jack, yes, his real name, and his crew, made our celebration, perfect! The beautiful day didn't hurt either, but they were informative, helpful, patient, and they made the day a fun time.
Will definitely be back.

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。

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

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

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!

Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺

Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.

The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.

To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.

We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.

We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.

I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.

　70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
　正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S（水なしで飲めるもの）を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
　美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
　参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。

Jason and Sabrina were awesome, they made our time scattering the ashes of our loved one very peaceful and respectful

Incredible day with an excellent crew for a fabulous day of boating on the Big Island of Hawaii! The crew was fantastic and so informative!

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise yesterday. The captain and his team (Audrey, Haley and G) were all great people, very helpful and considerate during the 5 1/2 tour. Few people got sick due to very strong current and rough water and this team took care of all by comforting them and taking good care of them. We certainly recommend this company for sunset cruises.

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

I signed up because I wanted to show my grandchild dolphins and turtles, and I was able to see plenty of dolphins, plus I got to see five turtles all at once. I am very satisfied.

孫にイルカとカメを見せたくて申し込んだのですが、イルカをお腹いっぱい見ることができ、さらに亀も5枚も一度に見ることができました。
大満足です。

We celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 aboard this charter, and it was an unforgettable experience. The crew was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. The views were breathtaking; we truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate!

Best Crew we could have asked for. They made the experience Epic and Fun!!! Thank you for such a great night.

The trip and staff were wonderful, we had a great time, we snorkelled, fished, and sat in the hot tub. It was cheaper for a family of three than going on separate fishing and snorkelling trips and it was private!

The girls were wonderful. They were kind and helpful. We not only swam with amazing dolphins but snorkeled in a wonderful coral reef with sea turtles. I would highly recommend this tout

We were blessed with beautiful weather and got to see the stunning sea. The private boat was a free space where we could enjoy music and meals. The captain was cheerful and kind, entertaining us throughout the trip. We made memories for a lifetime! Thank you!

晴天に恵まれ、美しい海を見ることができた。
プライベートの船は音楽をかけたり、食事をしたりすべてが自由な空間。
キャプテンは明るく優しい方で私たちを楽しませてくれました。
一生の思い出ができました！ありがとう！

Fun experience for the whole family. Great crew, fun drinks and good unexpected food.

Very friendly captain who found whales and a shark for us

Capt Stevie and Becca turned a special cruise into something magical. Capt Stevie’s love of the land, the waters, the people, the history, and the culture of Kauai made our sunset cruise a memory for a lifetime. If I’m ever fortunate enough to get back to Kauai, I WILL be rebooking to do the sunset cruise again!
