Getting on/off the catamaran "Risky."

Reviewed by: Linda G, 2023/05/22

The cruise was nice to see Waikiki Beach and fireworks! The open bar is restricted to punch and beers. Small selection. Getting on and off the catamaran can be dangerous and risky. Several people fell getting off the catamaran into the high waves and sand. One person tries to help you off, however a large young man fell getting off the ship and they basically ignored him. We helped him and he was very shaken up and drenched! They never offered him a towel or any assistance. We did! This is not a cruise for anyone with limited mobility or short in stature. You will get very wet!

Great Experience with a pair great lads

Reviewed by: Richard, 2023/04/30

Great experience from the massive firework display to the fabulous free drinks (Beers for me and cocktails for just about everyone else) The lads kept us entertained with some hilarious facts and jokes. Couldn't recommend it anymore.

Great staff, nice view of fireworks.

Reviewed by: Melody, 2023/04/24

The staff were friendly and fun. The drinks were made quickly, and tasted good. The cruise itself was beautiful. Music was good and diverse. We had a very clear view of the fireworks. Me and my family anjoyed the cruise very much and will do it again next time we're in waikiki.

All Hype

Reviewed by: Vrock, 2023/04/17

We waited longer than we were actually on the boat. Not worth the cost for an hour on the boat even with an open bat. Staff was not very friendly. The view and fireworks were great. Very disappointed with this fireworks cruise.

It was fun, but more of a booze cruise

Reviewed by: bhall, 2023/03/20

It was fun, but not meant for minors. This was a firework cruise, with an open bar. I just didnt realize it would be less minors and more abou the open bar. Which is my own fault. the crew was great.

Brilliant

Reviewed by: Lee, 2023/01/21

We were probably 50/50 on whether we should do this but we loved it. Was a great event and the crew and general atmosphere really made it. The boat was great and there was plenty to drink and it was a nice night. Would highly recommend especially if you have family old enough to drink its good fun..

Fireworks cruise

Reviewed by: Justa RN, 2022/11/12

It was just ok. It was Not Open bar. Only mixed drink was a premade rum punch. They Had Rum. They Had coke but would NOT serve a Rum and Coke. Very misleading. The boat was packed to the point not everyone could sit down. Was difficult to see fireworks due to many people standing up front. I would not do again with this company.

Fun cruise

Reviewed by: Amy, 2022/09/25

My partner and I did this cruise while in Waikiki..the staff were all very experienced and friendly..great vibe on board and of course open bar with good choice of drinks! Perfect place to see fireworks from on the water. Group size was good..boat not too crowded and was reasonably priced for Hawaii. Highly recommend!

Fireworks & Great Drinks

Reviewed by: Walonda, 2022/08/14

The captain and co-captain/bartender made this nighttime sailboat tour a super fun time. The fireworks were awesome to watch. I enjoyed the old school tunes. My drinks only made this venture more enjoyable. This was a lovely way to close-out my week in Honolulu.

Friday Night Fireworks!

Good night on the water. Kinda breezy and the view was not what I expected. I thought we would be closer than what we were. Overall a good deal though.

Fantastic boat ride firework and booze cruise

Reviewed by: Glots, 2020/01/20

This is a must great price great people. Only thing is be careful walking from the blue umprella to the cat. It was a little sketchy when there was no railing with a rocky ocean drop off. But besides that the trip was incredible captain and bartender were incredible. A ton of fun, welcoming people and fantastic company. Great music great drinks. Highly recommend.

OK.

Reviewed by: Yawn, 2019/12/28

The crew was great and the boat overcrowded as usual. Tipping is advised to get a decent drink.
The walk from the gathering point to the boat is getting worse and worse. At one point, you have to climb up and later jump down a 3 foot drop off. In the future, I'll check in and walk the streets to get to the boat.

Reminiscent of spring break

Reviewed by: SWSH, 2018/11/12

A lot of young people drinking far too much alcohol. More a party boat than I expected. My mistake, I missed the open bar part when I signed up. Probably spectacular if that is what you are looking for

Great ride!

Reviewed by: Kim Bogadi, 2018/05/08

The personnel were attentive to the needs of their clients. Check in was a breeze.
Sailing on this catamaran was an enjoyable time, along with good drinks and a great view!
The skipper and bartender/2nd hand were very friendly, entertaining and are very competent sailors. I would recommend this activity to anyone who likes to sail and want to see a portion of the island from a different perspective, this ride is for you! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: Joanne , 2018/04/15

My family and I had so much fun on this cruise! I wish I could remember the staff's name because they were so nice! It was the Captain's birthday and the bartender was a tall blond. My daughter was on crutches at the time of the cruize and the bartender put her on her back and carried her all the way from the boat to the sidewalk where she could walk with crutches again. Truly a great experience. And the fireworks were amazing!
