Great experience

Reviewed by: M Peterson , 2022/04/03

We were in Maui for 3 days and decided we wanted to do a dinner cruise. The staff was amazing and the views were awesome. The food was just okay in my opinion but overall, we weren't bothered since we had a great time!
Highly recommend!

Good experience

Reviewed by: Jess, 2021/08/03

I wish we picked a better day. Sunset was completely covered with the cloud so we couldn't really see the sunset at all. Food was average so does service there. they also pair you to sit with some other couple facing each other, which I thought it was pretty awkward and uncomfortable. I was surprised that they made us to tip the server separate to us, but was alright.

  • prime ribeye

  • dessert cheese cake

  • appetizer salad and bread

  • macademia crust fish

Very Nice

Reviewed by: Greg White, 2019/09/06

Hard working and friendly staff, better than expected food. The musician was really good. Everything gets a excellent...except the quality or lack of quality for the drinks included. For the price the quality should be Top shelf...I would even take mid level ,but not the stuff you find on the bottom shelf. Other than that it was great.

Beautiful evening cruise, great warm weather. A little cramped for seating. Food good! No room for walking around ship, mostly Sat at table for cruise. Might try one of the other evening sails on another ship.

Good food, friendly staff, fantastic views and entertaining music.... drinks and dance were an added plus. Last minute booking worked out very well. Book early to ensure a shittle space... We drove and enjoyed quaint town shops before and after cruise... we'd do it again!

Dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Jaron , 2017/05/14

The dinner cruise was really fun and relaxing. As soon as you get on you have drinks available and the staff are really nice. The food selection was okay, nothing too spectacular. The drinks were okay as well. We got a Mai tai when we left the port and we also were given 2 more drinks throughout the cruise. It was a beautiful cruise and the sunset was gorgeous.

Good for couples but not solo Traveler's

Reviewed by: Vanessa , 2017/03/16

We were a group of 6 2 couples and 2 friends. It was very nice and great for us couples but the friends felt a little left out since the music was very lovey dovey. But other than that the food was good and we got a whale show!

Beautiful relaxing sail

Reviewed by: Catherine , 2016/06/14

We ended our trip in Maui with the sunset dinner cruise. It was perfect because it was a very relaxing night. Before we got on the boat, it was a little unclear what we needed to do with our Veltra vouchers, the man working there sent us on the line with out getting our real tickets needed so we were sent off the line to go back and get those. Not a huge deal, but maybe more of a clear direction when people get there could avoid that. The drinks were yummy and the food was pretty good. I tasted my boyfriend's steak and liked it better than my Mahi Mahi, so I would say go for the steak instead ! A tasty cheesecake was served for dessert as well! We got hit by one huge wave at the end which was kind of scary because the boat tipped a lot, otherwise it was smoothe sailing over all and a beautiful experience.

Nice cruise, but .....

Reviewed by: Nancy L., 2016/05/19

The cruise was nice, but the seating was so close you could barely get in and out of your chair. Choice of drinks was very limited. We were seated in close quarters with a couple we didn't know. Luckily for us they were very nice and we got a long well. I could imagine it being
A very long three hours otherwise.

No wind. Boat could have run a little faster to stay ahead of the engine exhaust

Excellent evening

Reviewed by: Smith party, 2014/06/19

We brought our daughter with us. The dinner cruise was really nice. At first we were worried as when we left the harbor it was really hot, no breeze and we were baking while awaiting the dinner service. About 45 minutes into the cruise the boat made a bit of a direction turn and the breeze made all the difference. The rest of the cruise was enjoyable; food was adequate and dinner service was good. People on the boat were friendly and accommodating. The music was good, but only "our generation" knew the songs. Our daughter was clueless on the genre. We headed out toward the north west at a slow pace. The Maui mountains were a beautiful backdrop. The sunset was a bit obscured by the low cloud cover but still amazing. Before passing Kaanapali beach we turned back and headed in. I wish we had toured further but all in all it was a good experience.

Nice dinner option in Maui

Reviewed by: Clark Family, 2012/08/22

Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.

The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."

Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.

This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

enjoyable, nothing more

Reviewed by: brian, 2012/05/17

I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.

If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.

nice view/uncomfortable seating

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/11/16

Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.

Maui Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Sharpe/Blanchard, 2011/10/25

Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!

Very nice experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/03/17

The sunset dinner cruise was a very pleasant experience. The food was excellent and the weather was perfect. We saw a whale and her calf nearby, which was a great experience, and the sunset and bright stars in the clear night sky were unmatched. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to other couples.

Dinner Cruise Comments

Reviewed by: Walt, 2008/09/25

Cruise, dinner, music and wait staff were all great. The one negative area is their check in procedure which caused a delay in sailing. This needs to be improved.

Great service

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/07/03

The service was wonderful. Anyone booking should know before hand that the stairs going above/beow decks is difficult for anyone with walking difficulties (with a cane). Food was very well prepared.
Comments from the entertainer regarding what we are passing as we cruise along the coast would be beneficial. But, it was very good music.
