Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

Every penny was worth it!!

Reviewed by: Jessica Pasold, 2022/01/01

As penny pinchers we originally struggled to justify paying as much as we did for one activity but it was our honeymoon so we wanted to make it special. After enjoying the night on Alii Nui’s dinner sail and meeting the incredible staff, enjoying the open bar and the yummy food we found ourselves looking up what other excursions Alii Nui offers and booking a turtle snorkel with them. When we talk about our trip to Maui we rave about Alii Nui and tell everyone they were 100% the highlight. Wish we could go back to Maui just to do more excursions with them.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Jessica - Mahalo for the kind words about our charters. We are so thrilled that we could provide an excellent trip for you two on your honeymoon. We are excited to have you back out with us again soon!

Lahaina Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Cocktails - Maui Princess

Run down boat with lackluster entertainment

Reviewed by: Brent , 2021/10/11

Run down boat with lackluster entertainment. This is also not an all you can drink trip for the record. I recommend holding your bladder to avoid exposure to the neglected bathrooms. Food was so so.

For the money I recommend picking another boat.

I will say that the staff was friendly and courteous.

We had such a great time! The slide at the end was a fun surprise. We saw so many bright and colorful fish too. It served as a great memory for us. The crew was really hospitable and cool too. Everyone was really laid back yet took the right precautions to make sure everyone was safe. Such a great Maui experience. We highly recommend!

Lahaina Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Cocktails - Maui Princess

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

Premium Sunset Cruise with 4-Course Dinner, Cocktails & Seasonal Whale Watching

Lovely Cruise and staff. , small dinner serving

Reviewed by: Nikki Contini, 2021/07/29

We really enjoyed our experience with Pacific Whale Foundation- we went on a snorkel cruise a couple of days prior to dinner cruise and had a blast. Solid staff with lots of Passion and knowledge about the oceans and specifically Maui.
The Dinner cruise was nice but we were all fairly disappointed in the food servings and 3 of our steaks were basically blood rare and we ordered them MR. it was too late to get them back on the grill. first course was a delicious good size at artichoke spinach dip. Or something close to that. It’s was tasty and plentiful but just a few pieces of bread for the whole thing and there was so much dip and no seconds on bread !? Kind of ridiculous, especially for the price of the dinner. The salad of mixed greens and some veggies was served with very tasty dressing … sure would have been nice to have some bread with that .. then came our entrees … so small ! A petit steak and one piece of chicken or a few prawns … small portions of protein then this outrageous amount of carrots. And a scoop of purple sweet pot mash which was tasty too. Drinks were okay- not great. Very sugary. … Mai tais , margaritas or wine were some of the choices.
Brownies for dessert were delish !
It was beautiful to cruise Lahaina area and eat on the water. Just wish the food was more plentiful - it’s really felt skimpy with all those carrots … just seemed like they were cutting corners. We ate when we got home. That should tell you something.
The staff wonderful , sweet, nice energy.

Not romantic at all!!!

Reviewed by: Mediocre, 2021/07/26

Way overpriced! The boat is really cramped. If you’re looking for something romantic then DON’t pick this. You will have to share your table with strangers, the drinks are watered down and the food was not good. Extremely bland!

Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

Must do!

Reviewed by: Caitlyn , 2021/07/20

The Alii Nui Sunset Cruise was incredible! My husband and I booked the cruise for our honeymoon and were very pleased with the whole experience. The boat launched from Maalaea Harbor around 5pm and began serving drinks once out of the harbor. We loved the signature drinks! Dinner was delicious and offered gluten free options including seared ahi tuna, prime rib, potatoes, and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. The ribs were advertised as GF, but had bbq sauce containing gluten on top. The crew was very helpful when I asked to check on gluten friendly options!

We could see amazing views of the sunset the whole time which was super important to us. We also loved that we had freedom to move around the boat as desired.

The whole crew was fantastic! Captain Jamey, Kalina, Farel, and Jackson went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. We were impressed that the crew not only served throughout the dinner, but also picked guests up from hotels, sailed the boat, bartended, and also made time to be friendly with the guests. The cruise also had a professional photographer, Anna, who took beautiful photos of the guests throughout the evening. During the dinner, she edited the photos and then we were able to purchase them as keepsakes.

This would make a great romantic evening for any honeymooners or couple! We highly recommend. :)

  • Professional photo taken on the boat

  • Dinner on the deck - seared tuna, prime rib, potatoes

  • Dinner and a Hawaiian mimosa

Calypso Sunset Dinner Cruise with Cocktails & Island Music from Maalaea Harbor

Anniversary Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: MEF, 2021/07/11

We wanted to do something special for our 41st anniversary, and this sunset dinner cruise met all of our expectations! The boat was very comfortable, you had a choice of sitting inside or outside. We ate inside and once we finished eating we moved outside to watch the sunset. The sunset that night was absolutely amazing and was definitely the highlight, the sky looked like it was on fire, with pink and orange Hugh's. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was taking care of. Definitely include this on your next trip to Maui...I don't think you will be disappointed.

2-Hour Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Drinks - Quicksilver Catamaran

Spectacular cruise!

Reviewed by: Laurel Smith , 2021/06/28

We greatly enjoyed the dinner cruise. The views were absolutely beautiful and the staff was extremely attentive, courteous, and friendly. We also enjoyed that there was live music. My only comment that could have been improved was that there was no food for children. While I appreciated that my daughter was free, I would rather have paid a small price for something simple for her, such as macaroni and cheese or a hot dog.

Lahaina Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Music & Cocktails - Maui Princess

Not For Everybody

Reviewed by: Unhappy couple , 2021/06/04

After a long search we found the ticket booth and looked for a boat. The boat arrives from the previous lunch cruise. After a quick cleanup we were allowed to board. We were then escorted up a metal ladder to the top deck. Remember you have to climb a ladder to get to the top deck. Once seated at very uncomfortable wooden seats with strangers you are given a free drink. Dinner arrives later. The dinner is good. A man sings and plays guitar as you enjoy your dinner. If you later need to use a restroom they are on the lower deck, are old disgusting marine toilets and not at all clean. The view of the Maui coastline is beautiful. I can't imagine what happens if it rains. No shelter. Not at all worth $ 200 plus dollars. Not sure how old the boat is but it sure looks it.

My husband and I had a fantastic time on the sunset dinner cruise!

Honestly, we were happy to be on the ocean and enjoy the beautiful sunset. We were pleasantly surprised with the dinner, drinks, and excellent service. The crew was friendly, helpful, and just fantastic—especially the captain who went over and beyond finding whales for us to see. The singer/guitar player was outstanding. We enjoyed dancing on the bough of the boat.

Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Maui more memorable!
