The meeting place is a bit hard to find, but you can ask at the Sheraton Hotel's Blue Lizard. The cocktails were delicious, and the sunset was beautiful. The wind was strong, making the sailing very thrilling. I was able to experience the Hawaiian lifestyle. The staff provided excellent service. I recommend it, but if you're prone to seasickness, it's better to consider your condition first.
集合場所がわかりずらいですが、シャラトンホテルのブルールサイドで聞けばOK。
カクテルも美味しくて、夕日もきれいでした。風が強かったので、セーリングは迫力満点。ハワイのマルタイを経験できました。スタッフもサービス満点です。お薦めですが、船酔いしやすい人は、体調を考えてからの方がいいでしょう。

I have previously watched the sunset with a meal on a large cruise ship filled with Japanese people, but this catamaran is on a completely different level!! You can feel the Hawaiian air and breeze to the fullest, and drinks like cocktails are all-you-can-drink. You can freely walk around the ship while enjoying cocktails, and there were not many Japanese people, which was quite moving. If you're hungry, it's a good idea to bring snacks. I highly recommend it!
前に日本人だらけの大型客船でサンセットを食事付きで見たことがありますが、このカタマラン号とは天と地の差!!ハワイの空気と風をサイコーに感じられるし、カクテルなどの飲み物は飲み放題。船上をカクテルを飲みながら自由に歩き回れるし、日本人も少なくてかなり感動して帰ってきました。お腹が空いていたらスナックなどを持っていくと良いです。おすすめしまーす!

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.
母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

On a beautifully clear day, we set sail feeling great. At first, we were just swaying gently on the boat, but once we got out to sea, we were able to see sea turtles and got splashed by the waves (having brought raincoats made it not much of a problem), which was a lot of fun. Both my 3-year-old and 7-year-old enjoyed it together.
On the way back, the wonderful weather, the pleasant breeze, and the comfortable rocking of the boat made me doze off. The kids, who don’t understand English, eagerly asked, "What are they talking about?" but when I translated it to them as "If you study English, you'll understand," they seemed to enjoy it.
Many activities in Hawaii can be quite expensive, but this one was about $70 for four people, we got to see sea turtles, and we had a lovely sailing experience, which was really great. I was torn between this and a submarine tour, but I made the right choice. I would definitely do it again!
快晴のお天気の中、気持ちよく出港。最初はただゆらゆらと乗っているだけでしたが、沖に出ると海ガメが見られたり、波しぶきで濡れたり(レインコート持参していたので然程問題なし)、とても楽しかったです。
3才も7歳も共に楽しめました。
帰りはあまりのよいお天気、気持ちいい風、船の心地よい揺れ加減で、居眠りしてしまうほど。
英語がわからない子供たちは必死で「何話してるの?」と聞いてきましたが、それも「英語をお勉強すればわかるようになるよ」と翻訳して話してやると楽しそうにしていました。
ハワイのアクティビティは高いものが多いのですが、これ四人でも70ドル程度、海ガメも見られ、心地よいセーリングも出来て、とっても良かったです。
潜水艦と迷ったのですが、正解でした。
また乗ります‼

Was not relaxing at all. You stand around waiting for over 30 minutes to board. We boarded what I thought was an overcrowded catamaran then we waited around while 6 other people paid at the last minute so they could squeeze on. Very awkward way of serving the cocktails. They might well have said "can I throw you a brewsky". Would not recommend this activity.

The weather was very nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. Before departing, while on the boat, I was lucky enough to have a sea turtle come close to the boat.
The check-in was simply handing the voucher to the person sitting in a beach chair between Hale Koa and Sheraton.
Once the boat headed out to sea and raised the sails, I was able to relax and enjoy the view of Diamond Head and the sunset from the water.
There were few Japanese people, and all the announcements were in English. I think it’s fine even if you don’t understand it. They mentioned that drinks like beer, wine, and soft drinks were available, but initially, Mai Tais were served.
As the sun set, it got a bit chilly, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes if you participate.
When we got off the boat, we were shown photos taken before boarding, and if we liked any, we could buy them. The photos taken with Diamond Head in the background turned out well, so we purchased one as a keepsake.
Unlike dinner cruises, there was no meal served, but this allowed us to purely enjoy the views, and the timing was just right for us to go to the restaurant we had reserved for dinner. It became a wonderful memory.
とてもいい天気で、美しい夕日を見ることができました。
出発前に船に乗っていると、ウミガメが船のそばまで来たりとラッキーなこともありました。
受付はハレクライニとシェラトンの間のビーチの椅子に座っている人にバウチャーを渡すだけで完了でした。
船は沖に出ると、帆を張って海の上に浮かんでいたので、ゆっくりリラックスした気分で海からダイヤモンドヘッドや夕日を眺めることができました。
日本人が少なく、アナウンスは全部英語でした。わからなくても問題ないと思います。
飲み物はビールやワイン、ソフトドリンクもあると言っていましたが、最初はマイタイが配られました。
日が落ちると、肌寒くなりましたので、参加される場合は上に羽織るものを持っていかれるのをおすすめします。
船を降りると、乗船前に撮った写真を見せられ、気に入ったら買うというシステムでした。ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにした写真でよく撮れていたので、私たちは記念に購入しました。
ディナークルーズと違って、食事は出ませんがその分、純粋に眺めを楽しめましたし、終わる時間がちょうどいいので、予約していたレストランで食事に行くこともできました。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

We participated with a 3 PM reservation, and we were the only two Japanese people there. The pre-briefing was in English only, but I somehow understood how to put on the life-saving equipment, so I had no worries at all. It felt great to be in a foreign country. Alcohol was available for purchase (beer, cocktails). We turned back just past Diamond Head and stopped off the coast of Honolulu to enjoy jumping off the boat before returning. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't think we would be able to jump in, but I had a wonderful time relaxing and taking it easy. The boat was larger than I expected, so I didn't feel any rocking. The price was reasonable and I highly recommend it (US$56 for two). The whole experience, from departure to return, took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. How about you all?
3時予約で参加しましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。事前説明は英語オンリーでしたが救命道具の装着方法等なんとなく分かりましたし不安は全くありませんでした。外国に来てる感じでよかったです。アルコールは有料販売(ビール、カクテル)。ダイヤモンドヘッド沖過ぎたぐらいでUターンで、ホノルル沖合で停止して船からの飛び込み楽しんでからの帰着となりました。飛び込みできると思ってなかったので少し残念でしたがゆっくり、のんびり時間過ごせ大満足です。船が想像以上に大きかったので揺れは気になりません。料金もリーズナブルでお勧めです(US$二人で56$)。出発から帰着までで、大体1時間30分。みなさんも、いかがですか。

On our last night in Hawaii, we considered a dinner cruise, but decided to join this cocktail cruise as it seemed affordable and easy to participate in. Since it wasn't a large boat, I was worried about seasickness, but there wasn't any severe rocking (though it did sway enough to splash water on those sitting at the bow).
Once we headed out and set the sails, the speed of the boat was beyond my expectations. I could feel the wind on my skin, smell the ocean, and witness the changing colors of the sky on the horizon along with the lights of Waikiki, allowing me to fully experience the Hawaiian sunset.
With unlimited drinks and the pleasant background music from the boat, it was a wonderful cruise that you can't experience on a large cruise ship. If I visit Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again.
ハワイ最後の夜、ディナークルーズも検討しましたが、手頃なお値段で気軽に参加出来そうと考え、こちらのカクテルクルーズに参加しました。
大きな船ではないので船酔いを心配しましたが、ひどい揺れはありませんでした(とはいえ、船首に座っていた方に水しぶきがかかる程度には
揺れます)。
沖に出て帆を張った船のスピードは
想像以上で、肌で感じる風や、海の匂い、地平線で徐々に変化する空の色とワイキキの灯りなど、身体全体でハワイの夕暮れを感じることが出来ます。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、ほろ酔い気分の耳に聴こえる船のBGMが心地良く、大型の客船では体験出来ない素晴らしいクルーズでした。

I intended to relax and quietly watch the sunset, but I found myself surrounded by a lively captain who was all about "Let's have fun, yay!" along with blasting rock music and young people engrossed in conversation, completely uninterested in the sunset. It turned into a festive cruising atmosphere (laughs). However, it was still quite enjoyable in its own way, so I think the best approach is to just go with the flow during such times.
Also, taking motion sickness medication is a must (many people were feeling seasick). Since a large number of people board, I recommend lining up early and securing a good seat by the water (you can move around after departure, but it's definitely more enjoyable to sit and watch).
静かに夕日を見ながらゆっくりするつもりで乗ったのですが「皆で楽しみましょう、イエー!」的な乗りの船長と、流しっぱなしのロックな音楽と、おしゃべりに夢中でまったく夕日をみる気のない若者たちに挟まれ、祭りのような雰囲気でのクルージングとなりました(笑)
ただ、これはこれで普通に楽しくはありましたので、そういう時もあるよと思って参加するのが一番だと思います。
また、酔い止めは必須(船酔いしている人多数)。結構大人数が乗るので早めに列に並び、しっかり海際の席を確保することをお勧めします(出発した後は移動できますが、座って見た方がやっぱり楽しいので)

It was truly beautiful and the best time! I want to ride again next time! The enjoyment might differ depending on the time of day.
Since it was my first time at this place, I had a bit of trouble, but I made it in time. I think if the map were a little easier to understand, it would be reassuring for first-time visitors to Hawaii.
I enjoyed waiting for departure while taking photos with Diamond Head and the boat in the background, and dipping my feet in the ocean. There were no Japanese staff, so the explanations were in English, but I managed with the words and the atmosphere. Plus, since there were only a few Japanese people, I felt more like I was abroad, and without hearing Japanese conversations, I could forget reality and enjoy the cruise even more!
With free drinks, I could also enjoy a Mai Tai cocktail, so I highly rated the experience for the price, which included alcohol, music, and the scenery.
I was lucky to see a dolphin for a moment! I was moved by the colors of the sky as the sunset gradually merged into darkness.
The boat we boarded was larger than I expected, so in my case, I was glad I could drink a Mai Tai cocktail without getting seasick.
Although I didn't get splashed much, it can get quite chilly with the wind, so I think it's important to bring something to wear.
本当に綺麗で最高な時間(*˙︶˙*)☆*°次も乗ってみたい!!時間帯によって楽しみが違うかも♪♪
初めて行く場所だったので、少し手間取ったけれど、十分間に合った。地図がもう少し分かり易いものだと、初めてハワイに行った人でも安心できると思う。
ダイヤモンドヘッドと船をバックに写真を撮ったり、海に足をつけたりしながら楽しく出発を待つ。
スタッフに日本の人がいないので、説明は英語だが、単語と雰囲気でなんとかなる。
しかも日本人は数人だったので、より海外に来ている実感ができるし、日本人の会話が聞こえない分より現実を忘れ、クルーズが楽しめる!!
フリードリンクでマイタイカクテルも飲めるので、お酒と音楽、景色全てを体験出来る内容での料金には高評価。
一瞬イルカが見えてラッキー♪♪
沈んでいく夕日から、徐々に暗闇が融合していく空の色に感動した。
乗船する船は思ってた以上に大きかったので、私の場合マイタイカクテルを飲んでも、船酔いせず過ごせてよかった♡

It's a yacht-type cruise, so it's very pleasant to feel the wind while cruising. The guidance is in English, but it's manageable. There are not many Japanese people on board, so you can fully enjoy the feeling of being abroad. When the drizzle stopped, a rainbow appeared, and I was able to see a 180-degree rainbow over the sea. The sunset is also romantic and highly recommended.

I made a reservation for Sunset based on a friend's recommendation. I was surprised to see that we were the only Japanese people among a crowd of foreigners. As the boat moved further away from the island, it looked like rain was already coming from the clouds toward the island.

I desperately wished for it, and my wish was granted; I was able to witness the sunset. I really wanted to go since it was highly recommended, and I was so glad I could participate on the last day! It felt completely foreign, but sharing the beautiful scenery transcended national boundaries! In fact, there were even some people who started dancing cheerfully and approached me to chat, despite being strangers.
It was truly memorable. When I saw the last sunset, tears came to my eyes without me realizing it.

The sunset and the view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were also wonderful. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to participate again. Also, before boarding, taking a photo cost $15 for those who wanted to buy it when disembarking.

I went to Hawaii for the first time with my parents and my wife.
At first, I was worried because the meeting place was only written as "by the ocean at Outrigger," and I didn't know exactly where to gather. After asking various people on the beach, I found out that it was the "Island Magic" boat. The coupon only had the operating company's name, "Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing," and hardly anyone knew it by that name.
Initially, I was anxious as I wandered around, but in the end, it was a very enjoyable cruise. Since it was Friday, the day of the regular fireworks show, I was torn between the fireworks cruise and the sunset cruise. However, the sunset cruise was definitely more interesting as I could enjoy the beautiful scenery while feeling the nice breeze. I watched the fireworks leisurely on the beach after the cruise, but since they only lasted about five minutes, it might not have been necessary to go out into the dark sea.
We were the only Japanese people there, and the other guests were mostly Western tourists. Basically, all the instructions and announcements were in English, but there was no need to worry too much. The crew members were very cheerful and kind.
There was an all-you-can-drink service, and all the guests were drinking quite a bit, but even just one drink was enough to enjoy the scenery and the relaxed atmosphere.
初ハワイで父母&嫁と行ってきました。
最初、集合場所がアウトリガーの海側とだけ書いてあって実際どこに集まればいいのかわからず、心配しました。ビーチの人にいろいろ尋ねたところ"Island Magic"号という名前だということが判明。クーポンには運営会社の名前"Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing "しか書いておらず、この名前で知っている人はほとんどいませんでした。
初めはあちらこちら回って心配しましたが、結果としてはとても楽しいクルーズでした。恒例の花火大会がある金曜ということもあり、花火クルーズにするか迷いましたが、サンセットクルーズのほうが気持ちいい風に打たれながら景色も楽しめて断然面白いです。花火はクルーズ後にビーチでゆっくり見ましたが、5分くらいしかなかったんでわざわざ暗闇の海に出る必要は無いかも。
日本人は私たちだけで、お客さんは欧米系の観光客ばかり。基本的に指示や案内はすべて英語ですが、あまり心配する必要はありません。船乗りさんはとっても陽気で親切な方でした。
飲み放題サービスもあってお客さんはみなさんガバガバ飲んでいましたが、一杯だけでも景色とリラックスした雰囲気でお腹いっぱいになりました。

I recommend departing in the evening; I think the sunlight is too harsh during the day.

I took this trip on my own. The staff were very friendly and personable and laid back. The catamaran was quite large and fit everyone comfortably. Unfortunately, the water was quite silty and therefore the visibility was poor. I saw a couple of turtles and a few fish, but overall the snorkeling portion of the trip was disappointing. It sounds like from other reviews it is not always this way, so I may have just been unlucky. After snorkeling, we sailed around, which was fun. Subway subs were provided for lunch; however there were no vegetarian friendly subs - I would recommend for the future that this option be made available.
Overall, the trip was good but would have been much better had the visibility been better.

I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.
We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.
Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)
Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.
