We love the Maui sunsets and being on the water was even better. Very quiet smooth sail. The entire staff was attentive, happy a pleasure to be with. we had heard a few not so good things about cocktail cruises (rowdiness, drunks, loud) but this was a great experience. Nothing but good things occurred. Great appetizers and drinks. Also not crowded. We've seen a lot of boats heading out with tons of people on board. Not our cup of tea.
For 1st time cocktail cruise sailors wear comfy shoes. We didn't need it but we brought a light jacket anyway. Sunglasses and sunscreen a must. BE ON TIME!
The staff work very hard to ensure our comfort. Don't forget to say Mahalo (Thanks) and give them a tip too.

No sunset and it sprinkled for 2 mins so the musician hardly played any songs. . Maybe two. Another passenger
Took pic of him drinking alcohol and not playing. We picked Tuesday for the MUSIC
Also, we were not made aware the food was available. My husband walked over and saw it available.
Couldn’t have been much better experience. Wouldn’t recommend.

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday with this sail. First mate Brandon was awesome! Funny, and kept us entertained! The captain and other crew were great! We had these yummie coconut POG cocktails, and delicious snacks. We saw whales and the sunset was beautiful! I’ve been recommending this sail to everyone I can! This is a definitely must do!

Absolute must do while in Maui. We saw several whale pods, mama whales showing their young how to wave, and excellent views of the coastline and Molokai. The crew and captain were fantastic, high energy, knowledgeable, and kept the drinks flowing. Food was pretty good, definitely go with the short rib! The catamaran was pristine and well maintained. Instructions for boarding and exiting were easy to understand. I cannot express enough how much the 3 of us enjoyed this tour. We keep saying it was an epic day. So memorable and enjoyable.

We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise. We checked in at the Kaanapali hotel. There were signs so the check in area was easy to find. The crew was very friendly. When we got on board, we were served delicious unlimited drinks. The appetizers were also very good and filling. It was basically a full dinner.
The captain took us to see some whales. It was basically a sunset tour/whale watching trip. The whales came right up to the boat. We were so very lucky!
It was a fantastic experience

We have been on several Sunset Cocktail Cruises on Maui over the past decade but this was by far our favourite.
The captain and crew were super friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating…they serve everything right to you!
Ukulele Dave was a great addition as well!
All of this + multiple whale sightings made for a great evening and we definitely recommend.

This was a good sunset sail. The sunset was a little cloudy, but we didn’t mind. The crew were all nice. I don’t think there was anything exceptional or spectacular about it, it was a pretty good time but not the best ever. Apps were typical catamaran level snacks- not anything fancy. But we enjoyed seeing the whales!

We had an excellent time.. We were looking for a casual fun experience for Christmas evening and this trip delivered. This is my 6th time in Maui and have participated on many excursions and this is on the top of my list. Crew was fabulous and attentive. Captain was experienced and knowledgeable. Felt safe the entire time. The cost was appropriate for what we received...and as a reminder, always tip the crew

Excellent evening.
Staff was friendly, helpful, happy and overall a joy to be with.
The captain was interesting, had a lot of experience, laughed at the dumb joke I made about no more 3 hour tours - Gilligan Island joke - and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome.
The food was good, hot when served, and you were not made to feel rushed.
The guy singing was great. Had a wide variety of standard songs that fit the age group he was dealing with - yes there were a lot of us old folks on the trip - and he made sure to recognize all the birthdays and anniversaries - 4 couples married 50 years or more - and played their song.
The departure was just as nice and overall a great time.
