All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

There were many participants who were not Japanese. It seemed like there were students and some fun guys who were really getting into the party atmosphere, which made it enjoyable for us as well. When I looked towards the edge, I noticed someone with a pale blue face holding a bucket, so those who are prone to seasickness might need to be prepared. The weather wasn't great, but the fun atmosphere made it a memorable cruise.

参加しているのは日本人以外の方が多かったです。学生さんたちなのか、楽しいお兄さんたちがパーティ気分で盛り上がっており、こちらもその雰囲気を楽しめました。ちょっと端の方を見ると、真っ青な顔をしてバケツを抱えている方もおられて、船酔いする方は相応の備えが必要かも。お天気は今一つでしたが楽しい雰囲気で、思い出に残るクルーズでした。

We loved the dinner cruise!!! The staff were awesome. Very friendly, willing to talk and answer questions. First captain was probably sick of taking pictures for everyone by the end :) The food was great also. There was plenty for each person and then some. The buffet style was great so everyone could eat when and where they wanted not to formal. Relaxed and casual just like we wanted. Timing was perfect to see the sunset and the view was beautiful. Everyone was good about rotating on the nets to make sure everyone else got time. The only thing I would change about this experience is make it an adult only cruise. Everything else was great!!! Thanks :)

The sunset was very beautiful, and the cocktails were delicious. I thought I should have brought something to wear because it got cold halfway through.

夕日がとてもきれいに見れて、カクテルもとても美味しかったです。
途中から寒くなってきたため何か羽織るものを持っていけば良かったと思いました。

I had a great time. It felt like I was invited onto a friend's yacht, and everything was so friendly. I used it on the evening of my arrival in Hawaii, and I felt fine; I wished I could have stayed on longer. I regret not being able to speak English better, as it might have made the experience even more enjoyable. However, even without speaking English, the rainbow and sunset I saw from Waikiki Beach, along with the time spent with people from various countries, felt like a scene from a movie and still seems like a dream to me.

楽しかったです。まるで知り合いのヨットに誘われたかのような感じで、すべてがフレンドリーでした。ハワイ到着日の夕方に利用しましたが、体調も変わりなくもっと乗っていたかったです。自分が英会話ができたらもっと楽しかったかなと反省しています。でも英語ができなくてもワイキキビーチから見た虹や夕焼け、多国籍の人々と過ごした時間は映画のワンシーンのようにロマンチックで今でも夢のようです。

I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.

揺れると聞いていましたが、本当に揺れますので酔い止めが必要な人は飲んで行ってください。アメリカの方々？が５〜６　ヨーローッパ２名　日本人６名くらいで参加しました。最初は結構揺れるのでドキドキですが最後の方は穏やかです。スタッフの方々が話しかけてくれるので旅行気分がかなり味わえます。
簡単な英語も話してくれるので現地で遊んでいる感覚が欲しい人にはオススメです。最後にサンセットはとても綺麗です。ちなみにちゃんと食事したい人はやめた方がいいかもしれません。軽食です。

I was able to enjoy a luxurious cruise while listening to upbeat music and having unlimited drinks. At first, I was worried about getting seasick or if the boat would sway, but the other passengers were also in high spirits, and we were able to enjoy the slight rocking like it was an amusement park ride. There were many foreigners on board, and although I was initially anxious, they were actually more lively than the Japanese passengers, and we all had a great time together. The excitement when the sun was setting reached its peak. When we passed by other cruise ships, we waved at each other and cheered, which added to the excitement. This time, I participated with my mother and sister, and both of them praised the cruise throughout our trip. Next time I visit, I will definitely book the catamaran sunset cruise again.

ノリノリな音楽を聴きながら、しかもドリンク飲み放題で優雅なクルーズを楽しむことができました。
はじめは船酔いしないか、揺れないか心配でしたが、まわりの乗客の皆さんもノリノリで多少の揺れもテーマパークのアトラクションのように楽しめました。外国人の方も多くはじめは不安でしたが、むしろ日本人よりノリがよく一緒に盛り上がることができました。
夕日が沈む瞬間の盛り上がりは最高潮に達していました。また他のクルーズ船とすれ違う際には手を振りあいお互いの歓声でまたひと盛り上がりしました。今回は母と妹の3人で参加しましたが、両者とも旅行期間中クルーズのことを絶賛していました。次回訪れた際も必ずカタマランのサンセットクルーズを申し込みます。

Due to the time of sunset, our departure was delayed by about 30 minutes. While waiting, we took photos with the boat and Diamond Head in the background and played in the ocean. Before departure, they took a commemorative photo of each family (available for purchase at $20 upon disbanding).

Onboard, there was an unlimited supply of Mai Tais and soft drinks, along with a tip service. The Mai Tais were incredibly delicious, so I had quite a few refills! About one-third of the guests were Japanese, but it was quite lively, and the breeze felt nice. The captain was cheerful, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset moment on the boat was truly moving. Depending on the weather, I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Of course, the photos taken before we set out turned out great, and I felt good about purchasing them.

日の入りの時間の関係で出発予定のより30分ほど遅れての出航、それまで船とダイヤモンドヘッドを背景に写真を撮ったり海で遊んだりして待ちました。
出航前に家族ごとに記念写真（解散時に20ドルで販売）を撮ってくれて出航。
船上ではマイタイ、ソフトドリンクの飲み放題、チップのサービスがありました。マイタイは大変美味しかったのでたくさんおかわりしました^^;船上も日本人は1/3くらいでしたが、かなり賑やかで風も気持ちよく、船長さんも陽気でかなり賑やかで心地よい空間でした。
天気にも恵まれ、船上でのサンセットの瞬間は感動しました。天気次第ですが、また機会があれば参加したいですね。もちろん出る前に撮ってもらった写真は写りもバッチリで気持ち良く購入しました。

Incredible view and friendly staff, a highlight of your trip

The food was enjoyable, the view was beautiful and the crew was fun and inviting. The food was buffet style with chicken and broccoli and some rice, as well as some cookies. They had a bar with some nice mixed drinks and non alcoholic beverages for people as well. The ship was a little smaller and more crowded than we expected, but the crew did an excellent job of keeping everyone serviced and attending to guest needs. They were friendly and made sure to check on everyone to ensure no one was sick. We were out at sea for about 2 and a half hours, which is a good amount of time and there were a lot of waves out making it fun for many.

New, clean catamaran, friendly staff, unlimited coctails, great experience, highly recommended

I participated with my daughter. It might have been a coincidence, but on the day we attended, there were few Japanese people, and it was lively from the start, with a local group present. We were moved as we watched the sunset gradually tilt from offshore Waikiki while high-energy music played. It felt like our hearts were being cleansed... those two hours were incredibly happy moments. I want to participate again soon, but since it's popular, it might be difficult to align it with my schedule!

私は娘と２人で参加しました。
たまたまだと思いますが私たちが参加した日は日本人が少なく最初から盛り上がってて、ロコ系の団体さんがいました。ハイテンションなミュージックが流れるなか夕日が少しずつ傾いていくのをワイキキ沖から観られて感動しました。
心が洗われてるような…あの約2時間はとっても幸せな時間でした。
またすぐにでも参加したいと思いますが人気があるので自分のスケジュールと合わせるのが…難しいかも!！

We booked this cruise online, requesting a hotel pickup. The day before the booking we were contacted at our hotel to confirm day and time of pickup. On arriving at the boat all the guests were debriefed with safety instructions while on board (this was good to see), we were introduced to our crew, Johnny , stretch and Amy, who were all very approachable and friendly. We headed out from the marina and hoisted the sails. Not long after leaving the marina, we were all invited to get our meals. The food was great, tasty, light and plenty of it. As part of the package we each received two drink vouchers. We cruised from the marina right out to diamond head and back again. The sunset on the way back to the marina was just beautiful. We had a great evening and enjoyed meeting a number of people - if you like sailing and enjoy meeting new people, then I would recommend this activity.

My partner and I went on this sunset cruise. We had a wonderful time!! It's about 2 hours out. The staff was awesome and made sure our drinks stayed full. It was one of our highlights of our trip. We will do this again and recommend people do this. LOTS OF FUN!! The sunset out there was so beautiful. A must do!!

Fantastic! The crew was so nice and the trip was great. The only regret we have is that we waited until the end of our vacation to take it. Otherwise we would've opted for another excursion, e.g. sunrise cruise, fireworks. We will most certainly use this group again when we return to Waikiki.

It was my husbands first time to Hawaii and on a catamaran. He loved this excursion and everyone made him feel safe and comfortable. It was a beautiful evening. We had a beautiful time on the dinner sunset cruise! It was our honeymoon and this made it very romantic and special! The food was delicious and we went back for seconds! There wasn't a lot of seating on the boat so that was hard sometimes. The workers were friendly and Stretch really knows how to make the drinks! There were a few annoying girls that flirted with the workers and were loud, two people got sick, but these things are all uncontrollable. Overall, it was great and I have already recommended this cruise to family and friends! Thank you!

We took our friend who was visiting from AZ and we all had the best time. Good drinks, good service, and good company.

We participated as a couple. We were impressed by the service spirit of the three crew members. Their conversations included exquisite wit, and their hospitality was on par with that of the Japanese. With about 20 customers, I believe everyone was satisfied.

夫婦で参加。3人いたクルーのサービス精神に感動。絶妙なウイットを盛り込んだ会話、おもてなしの心も日本人顔負け。20人ほどのお客様、誰もが満足したと思う。

I took my best friend and 14 year old son on this dinner cruise. We arrived early, got good seats. The dinner was delicious, the staff was very friendly and informative, and the view was gorgeous and priceless!! We went on the cruise on Friday evening so we were able to enjoy the fireworks as well as the beautiful ocean, sunset and view of O'ahu from the sea. Everyone definitely must add this to their to do list even if born and raised in Honolulu!!

Such a great sail. Well looked after. So much fun.

It was an amazing experience and it was the best way the finish our trip. It was our last night and it was very romantic. The music was great and people were having a great time. I recommend it to everyone who want to experimence a nice cruise and watch breathtaking firework. I already have recommended it to my best friend going in October. The food was great and they offered a good variety. The cocktails were fantastic and there was a good selection of beers and spirits. I only have great comments about that evening. Watching the firework on the water was just magical. The service was very nice and the staff were very thoughtful. I will do this cruise again next year when we come back.

We had a great time! I would recommend it for a fun night.

This was my second sunset cruise. I made a reservation from Japan. It seems to be quite popular, and it's sometimes hard to get a spot with local bookings. The restrooms are not very clean, but they are available. If you ask the crew, they will guide you. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. In winter, I think it might be a bit cold for the sunset, so it's a must-do when visiting Hawaii in the summer.

2回目のサンセットクルーズ。日本から予約していきました。人気があるようで、現地予約では、とれないことも。
トイレも綺麗ではないですが、一応あります。クルーに尋ねると教えてくれます。船酔いが心配な方は、事前に酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。
冬は、サンセットは少し寒いカナと思うので夏場にハワイを訪れた時のmustです。

Good food, entertainment & of course the view! Beautiful!

A great way to ensure a good view of the sunset and fireworks.A bit of a wait at the start and problems with me not producing a receipt, despite them reassuring me prior that it wouldnt matter.

On the second day of our honeymoon in Hawaii, we participated in this cruise. There was one other Japanese couple besides us. As mentioned in the reviews, there were many foreign participants. Some even brought along their 0-year-old children!

The Mai Tai served was incredibly delicious! However, I was worried about the restroom situation, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked... If only the restrooms were properly managed! I think it would have been an outstanding cruise.

ハワイへの新婚旅行の２日目にこちらのクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たちの他にもう一組。
口コミ通り外国人の参加者が多かったです。
中には0歳時のお子ちゃま連れも！

サーブされたマイタイはめちゃくちゃおいしかったです！
ただトイレの心配が先立ち、あまり頂けなかったのが残念……。
トイレさえちゃんとあれば！
文句なしのクルーズだったと思います。

The beauty of the catamaran, where you can feel close to the ocean, was something I experienced last year when I was lucky enough to encounter sea turtles and dolphins during the daytime. This year, I joined to see the beautiful sunset. When we set sail, there were many clouds, and I worried whether we would be able to see the sunset, but soon it cleared up, and we enjoyed about two hours of sailing. The scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head changing with the light of the sunset, the endlessly deep blue sea, and the breathtaking beauty of the sunset shining even more brightly at dusk were all unforgettable. Although we were the only Japanese on the catamaran, which felt completely foreign, we shared the emotion of the beautiful sunset and took photos together, feeling the goodness of peace despite our different backgrounds. (We had visited Pearl Harbor during the day.) Drinks were free, with unlimited Mai Tais and soft drinks. (I brought snacks purchased at ABC Store.) While the foreign guests seemed fine, it was quite chilly on the water, and I was glad I brought a long-sleeve shirt. (If I participate again, I plan to bring socks as well.) The crew spoke only English, so I didn't quite understand the explanation about the restroom... It seemed like you had to open the lid and go down to use it. (We followed the advice from reviews and used the restroom just before boarding.) By the time the sunset was over and we returned to the Sheraton beach, everything around us was dyed pink, creating a beautiful memory that felt like a dream. There was a box for tips when disembarking, so I think it's a good idea to bring a little money.

海を近くに感じられるカタマラン号の良さは，昨年昼間にホヌやイルカに出会うというラッキーもあって，経験済みでした。今年は，美しい夕陽を見たいと参加しました。出航時は雲が多く，夕陽は見られるかしらと心配しましたが，ほどなく晴れ，二時間ばかりのセーリングを楽しみました。夕陽に照らされて刻々と変わっていくワイキキやダイアモンドヘッド等の風景，どこまでも碧く藍色の海，そして日の入り時に一層まばゆく輝く夕陽の美しさ。日本人は，私達だけという完全アウェイ状態のカタマラン号の中でしたが，人種は違っても，美しい夕陽に共に感動したり，写真を取り合ったりと平和の良さもしみじみ感じました。（昼間，パールハーバーを訪れていたので。）飲み物はFreeドリンク。マイタイ，ソフトドリンク飲み放題。（ABCストアで買ったおつまみ持参しました。）外国の方達は平気そうでしたが，海上はとても肌寒く，長袖持参していて良かったです。（次回参加することがあれば，靴下も持って行くつもりです。）クルーの方達は英語のみなので，トイレの説明をされたようですが，よく分からず・・・。どうやら蓋を開けて下に行って用を足していました。（私達は，口コミのアドバイス通りに，乗船間際にトイレを済ませておきました。）夕陽が沈み，シェラトンの浜辺に帰る頃は，辺り一面ピンク色に染まり，夢のような美しい思い出になりました。下船時にチップを入れる箱がありました。少しのお金を持参されるのが良いかなと思います。

My wife and I have taken two Hawaiian dinner cruises in the past. This was our first dinner sail. At first we were concerned about the size of the boat compared to the number of people waiting to board, but we quickly realized that there was room for everyone. If you are wanting a choreographed dinner show, this is not the activity for you. This was a fun, relaxing sunset/fireworks sail. The crew was very nice, and walked around to check on the guests to make sure they were doing alright and even gathered up the guests' garbage. This was appropriate for families, couples, and groups. The crew even cast out two fishing lines to see if they could catch anything during the evening and caught a fish on one of the lines. We drove from the North Shore to go on the dinner sail, and it was well worth the drive. Parking was convenient and reasonable. I would recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before check in to get a close parking spot. The only thing I would suggest would be to serve a dessert option without nuts, as some people do not like them or have nut allergies. I would definitely recommend this activity and would do it again on our next Hawaiian vacation!

Really enjoyed the sail - is the right amount of time and a great way to see Waikiki. Our daughter enjoyed going over the waves and watching sailing in action. Only problem was the on board music. Loud 60/70s rock music - what a way to spoil a peaceful sail! Got to be a better playlist out there for sailing - or how about listening to the waves?!

This year, I chose a different Mai Tai catamaran than the one I rode last year. The departure location was a bit hard to find, as it was behind the Sheraton Waikiki, but fortunately, the people I shared the ride with, including some foreigners, were all very nice. We had a great time taking pictures together and enjoying each other's company. I definitely want to do this again when I come back to Waikiki.

今年は昨年乗ったのとちがうこのマイタイカタマラン号をチョイスしました。出発場所はシェラトンワイキキの裏側とちょっと分かりにくかったのですが、幸いかどうかわかりませんが、乗りあった人たちが、外人の方も含め非常に良い方たちばかりで、みんなで和気あいあいと写真を撮り合ったりと非常に楽しい時間を過ごせました。またワイキキに来たら必ずオプションしたいと思います。

We vacationed in Hawaii about four years ago, and the dinner cruise we went on then suffered in comparison to this one. The food could have been better, but the overall experience was fantastic. The crew was extremely polite and funny, the food was decent, and the view was amazing. I got beautiful pictures of the island, ocean, sunset, and fireworks. We were even able to spot dolphins a couple of times during the cruise. Unlike the other cruise we have been on, we were able to walk around the boat and did not have to stay inside the cabin the whole time (if you did not want to). We could sit in the fresh air and enjoy the view rather than watching from a window. I highly recommend this dinner cruise.
