Experienced and entertaining crew
Reviewed by: Barbara, 2019/01/28The crew onboard the Northstar was awesome. They were experienced and entertaining. The captain did an awesome job. He slowed down for whale sightings and kept us informed. This was our first time on a catamaran and it we will do it again.

Captain Andy's Southern Star
Reviewed by: debstru, 2018/11/21Party of 7. Crew was very accommodating, Cap'n was very knowledgeable and shared insights to the island, and Chef Paul prepared some excellent food!
Loved being able to ride the bow and experience some dunkers! You don't have to get wet, but I would recommend bringing a change of clothes if you plan to ride up front.
Highly recommend cruising with Captain Andy's crew! Great experience!

Lovely views on a sparkly clean boat
Reviewed by: Liane Willey, 2018/09/07The crew was fantastic. Nolan was wonderful and so gracious. We had a blast overall but when several folks started getting ill, we felt the captain should have slowed down and not hit the wakes so fast.

Beautiful Scenery and fabulous crew!
Reviewed by: Andy, 2018/09/05The upside: The beauty of the Napali coast is unbelievable! The crew on the catamaran was very friendly and attentive! Dinner was delicious(but see below)!
The downside: The prime seating on the catamaran is at the back where there are about 25 available seats, so if you aren't among the first 25 on the boat - you are either standing on the front deck (where you will get wet, guaranteed!) or inside the cabin (where you can't see anything and are more likely to get seasick)
My wife got seasick half-way through the trip despite a prescription anti-nausea patch (so if you are prone to motion sickness, expect it to happen). Because of this, both of us opted to have our meals boxed up for after the trip. If there had been available seating at the rear of the catamaran, I probably would have had my dinner on the boat where I could enjoy the scenery while I ate. Instead I opted to stay where I could enjoy the view instead of going into the cabin to sit while I ate or standing there holding my plate to enjoy the view.
Having said that, I can't say enough good things about the crew - I think every one of the crew stopped to check on my wife and me at least once and sometimes twice to make sure we were OK, so thanks to Captain Mike, Paul, Maddie, Lucy, and Hans! To Hans the chef I say we both enjoyed the dinner very much after we got back to our resort, (reheated in the microwave, ugh). I can only imagine how much better it would have been freshly served!

Awesome experience, awesome crew and delish dinner!
Reviewed by: Susie Q, 2018/04/02We had Captain Sterling, Thomas and Greg for our crew. The Captain said our sailing day was in his top 4 in 20 years of making the voyage. We were able to make it quite a ways down the Northern coast with calm seas allowing us to get very close to shore. The crew ensured every person on board was comfortable and kept happy with drinks (non alcoholic and alcoholic, a wonderful meal and delightful dessert. It is a barefoot cruise and they collect your shoes on the dock before boarding. You are offered water and soft drinks from the start and alcoholic beverages about halfway through. The dinner is buffet style and self serve. We had prime rib, chicken, asparagus, rice, bread and butter. Many were enjoying seconds so we decided we’d better get some grub! It was delish. You can get wet depending on where you choose to sit and the weather. Highly recommend this cruise!!

Outstanding experience.
Reviewed by: MikeSLT, 2018/03/25The Northern Star is a beautiful boat with a great engaging crew. The meal was fantastic with a tasty, tender Filet Mignon & Shrimp cooked by a phenomenal chef off the grill on the back of the boat, The salad and dessert was great as well. We won't hesitate to sail the Luxury Dinner cruise with Captain Andy's again! Also props to Veltra/HawaiiaActivities.com for a flawless experience. Great companies, highly recommended.

Perfect weather, perfect day
Reviewed by: Ron, 2018/01/29Apparently we lucked out and got once in a lifetime winter weather for the Na Pali coast.
The winds were light. We saw whales a number of different times, including a mother and calf along by the coast.
The captain and crew were great. Even if we hadn't seen the whales, the meal, shrimp skewers, fillet and that key lime cheese cake cooked by the chef were wonderful and that and the scentry alone would have made the trip worth it.
This is definitely a must do if you come to Kauai.

Top!!
Reviewed by: Paseba, 2017/11/26Fahrt auf einem modernen Katamaran entlang der NaPail-Coast. Sehr gut gemacht: Freundliches zuvorkommendens Personal, unterhaltsamer Kapitän, sehr gutes Essen (z.B. als Apperitiv Antipasti-Schnittchen, als Dessert hervorragender Cheesecake). Wir sahen zufällig Delphine, die den Katamaran begleiteten. Es waren ca. 25 Gäste auf dem Katamaran. Man muss wissen, dass es sehr windig und sehr schaukelig werden kann. Ich empfehle Mittel gegen Seekrankheit, auch wenn man diese sonst nicht benötigt. Gegen Abend wurden die Wellen höher und spritzten auch über die Vorderseite des Katamarans. Die Landschaft ist sehr beeindruckend und der Sonnenuntergang atemberaubend. Auf jeden Fall rechtzeitig zum Check-In erscheinen, das Boot legt rechtzeitig ab.

Amazing Experience
Reviewed by: Mahealani02, 2017/09/06Capt Cory and his crew made our adventure along the Na Pali Coast an amazing experience. The friendliness and attentiveness of the crew was great. The food by Chef Mark was perfect--the filet mingon was soft and cooked perfectly. If you have food allergies they ask well ahead of time. Good safety briefing prior to sailing. The cost of the cruise was right for what you get. I brought our children (10 and 12) and they also had a great time. You won't be disappointed.

Had a great time
Reviewed by: Jonathan, 2017/08/22We saw dolphins, turtles, and seals. We had a great time looking at the great view. One thing I will recommend is to bring medicine because you can get sea sick very quickly and not have good time.

Sunset Cruise
Reviewed by: George, 2017/05/23My wife and I really enjoyed the sunset cruise up the Na Pali coast on Captain Andy's Southern Star. First rate ship, the best on the island, a 65 ft sailing catamaran. Capt. Claire was great at keeping us posted on what we were seeing along the coastline. The crew was very friendly and filled all requested very quickly. Spinner dolphins followed twice so they slowed down for us to get a good look. Also a late season whale surfaced near us. The Na Pali coastline is absolutely stunning. The meal, ribeye and shrimp, was very good. The bar doesn't open till you get up the coast, about 1 1/2 hr into cruise but when it does it was as free flowing as you wanted. We loved all of it. Be sure to take something for motion sickness if that is a problem for you. Thet accepted our Veltra voucher without any problems. Thanks to Veltra and especially to Captain Andys for making our dream vacation extra special.

Not what i thought
Reviewed by: Jennifer, 2017/01/03We were extremely un prepared for the barrage of water! We went on NYE so we dressed up a little. DON'T wear skirts! Bring a towel and wear a swim suite even if not swimming. It was like a two hour roller coaster holding on for dear life. I took bonine and a prescription anti nausea pill and still got sick. The weather was amazing. Also, all you can drink only goes for like an hour, at the end, and they ask you how many you have had every time you get a new drink. I read reviews before hand and people kept mentioning its "a little bumpy..." its a lot bumpy! The crew was amazing and kind about cleaning up after us or providing us with crackers and ginger ale. They even boxed up my food to eat later, and it was good! Just don't go in prepared... We saw lots of dolphins and whales. Captain stopped pointing them out though as it was NYE and he said said he was anxious to get back because he "has door beers to drink."

Loved the Cruise!
Reviewed by: Meghan Houseal , 2016/11/17My fiancé and I enjoyed our cruise by Captain Andy's tour! The crew on board were very amazing and made the tour more enjoyable. They were there to assist when needed and the open bar and dinner by the Chef-Surf N Turf was very good! During our tour we saw two turtles & of course the beautiful Sunset which was an amazing view and took lots of pictures! It is a tour to experience while in Kauai but do ask the company prior to tour day if they will be touring the North Coast as the waves were too rough and we toured the South Coast which was not something which I would have done given we already explored and were staying on the South Sunny side.

Beautiful sites, Nice dinner
Reviewed by: Anna, 2016/09/28The boat was nice and the crew was helpful, informative and hard-working. There was 45 people on the cruise and not enough seating where the sites could be enjoyed. Mostly standing room where you had to hold on tight. Made taking pictures difficult. Lots of alcohol, soft drinks and juice. Diet drinks ran out quickly. Water was on tap, so not cold. The captain was knowledgeable about the island and its history. Be prepared to get sprayed and go home salty!

lots of fun!
Reviewed by: nicole, 2016/09/26We had a really good time on the Na Pali cruise .. but definitely get some motion sickness pills that they sell before you leave!! worst case you wont need them... we thought we would be fine but we were pretty nauseous most of the time .. other than that the food was great and so was the staff.. we even got to see some dolphins ! Can't go wrong with this dinner cruise, it was beautiful. Also if you feel too sick to eat on the boat they give you a box so you can eat it later.
