Previously, I had an experience with Navatek's sunset cruise, and I didn't find it particularly special, so I hadn't planned to include a sunset cruise this time. However, I made a reservation because the price was low, it departed from Waikiki Beach, and it was my wife's first time in Hawaii.
The meeting point at the beach was just a few minutes from our hotel, which was convenient. Before 5:30 PM, I took off my sandals and boarded barefoot. I found a seat, and the crew started cheering as we set off. Occasionally splashed by the waves, we headed out while enjoying the view of the hotels lining the coastline, making our way past Diamond Head.
Along the way, we enjoyed drinks like Mai Tais and beer while feeling the wind all around us. The drinks were free and unlimited. I thought the Mai Tai might not have had alcohol in it because I didn't feel drunk at all, even after having several.
When the sails were raised and the engine was turned off, the only sounds were the waves cutting through the water and the wind. Standing on the side of the boat, I could see the passing scenery and feel the waves right at my feet, which was completely different from going on a large cruise ship and was truly enjoyable.
That day, there were many clouds, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. Perhaps because of that, we returned to the beach before sunset, which was a bit disappointing. We returned at 7 PM instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM. Since it was Friday, we stayed to watch the fireworks from Hilton, and it was nice that we secured a good spot, so an early return was actually beneficial.
The price was reasonable, and I would recommend it as long as the weather is good.
以前、ナバテックのサンセットクルーズの経験があり、そんなに特別な印象がなかったので今回当初の予定ではサンセットクルーズは入ってなかったのですが、料金が安いこと、ワイキキビーチから出ること、妻がハワイが初めてだったことで予約しました。
集合場所のビーチがホテルから数分だったので便利でした。
17時半前にサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗り込みました。適当に座り、船のクルーが雄たけびを上げ出発。
たまに波のしぶきを浴びながら沖に出て、海岸線に並ぶホテルを見ながらダイアモンドヘッドの更に先まで向かいます。
途中でマイタイやビールなどのドリンクを飲みながら風を全身に浴びて船は進みます。
ドリンクもフリーで飲み放題。マイタイはアルコールが入ってなかったんじゃないかと思うほど飲んでも全く酔わなかった。
帆を上げ、エンジンを切って風で進むと聞こえるのは波を切る音と風の音だけ。船のサイドに立ち、流れていく風景を見ながらすぐ足元に波を感じることができるのは大きなクルーズ船で行くのとは全く違い本当に気持ちが良い。
当日は雲が多く綺麗なサンセットは観れなかった。そのせいか日の入り前にビーチに戻ってしまった。そこが少し残念だった。予定の19時半ではなく19時だった。
金曜日だったのでヒルトンから上がる花火を見るために、そのまま宿泊していたリーフのビーチまで戻った。良い場所を確保できたので早目の帰港で良かったかな。
値段もリーズナブルだし、天気さえ良ければおススメです。

The views from the ocean were excellent and the people on the cruise as well as the staff were friendly and fun. The food was OK and the entertainment was good (I'm not a party person, so that is about the most that you will get out of me.) The most memorable thing was after dinner, when Dolphins were playing with the boat and putting on a show for us. The best view of the sunset was actually when we were docking at the harbor, at the very end of the cruise.

Our sunset catamaran cruise was very nice. We were promptly greeted and seated on time, offered our choice of beverages and entertained by both passengers and crew. The cruise itself was calm and uneventful providing an ideal view of the coastline and the sunset. Travis (crew) bent over backwards to ensure all had a positive experience!

During my trip to Hawaii during Golden Week, I made a reservation in advance from Japan to participate. I boarded the boat directly from the beach at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Since I was the last to board, there were no seats available, and I ended up sitting at the back of the boat, but it was the best spot. I was lucky to be in a place where I could stretch my legs and take in the view. I highly recommend this for anyone going to Hawaii. You will get wet when boarding, so it's a good idea to wear beach sandals. It gets cold after sunset, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt is advisable.

乗るときに濡れますので、ビーチサンダルで参加するとよいです。日暮れから寒くなりますので長袖を持っていくとよいです

We were in Hawaii for our 36th anniversary and the Navatek Dinner Cruise was a lovely and romantic way to spend the evening. We booked the window seating and the spectacular view was really worth it! The Lobster - Steak dinner was delicious. Our server prepared our lobster for us at the table which was a nice surprise. The beef was a bit well done for our taste however. Overall the dinner was very tasty. The show was enjoyable and fun, and the main singers were all really good! There were quite a few honeymoon and anniversary couples, and it was nice visiting with the other diners. Also, we very much enjoyed going out on deck to view the beautiful sunset and beach from the ship. We look forward to another dinner cruise next time we're there.

We had our first family experience on an affordable and memorable sunset cruise. Starting with a commemorative photo, even though we didn't understand English, the captain explained everything in a great atmosphere. Then, with high spirits, we headed out to Waikiki, starting with a toast with cocktails! While enjoying the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, we spotted a mother whale and her calf in the direction pointed out by a Black man. Knowing it wasn't the season for whales, our family was super excited, and we successfully captured photos and videos, making it the best bragging story to bring home. I couldn't have asked for a better optional experience, and my satisfaction level is 200%!
手軽な料金と思い出に残るサンセットクルーズを家族では初体験しました。

We loved the boat , the food, the crew and the beautiful evening. It was a a great event for teens as the alcohol can be monitored and the bartender is very careful . She must be a parent. The only thing I did not like, was the extra charge for transportation. I thought it was included in the tickets, however, we had to pay an additional unexpected amount at the boat. It was a surprise as I booked early and spoke to the company a number of times. Never was a balance due mentioned. It ruined what would have been a great evening.

We participated as a family of four, including two elementary school children. It was a cloudier day than we expected, so we boarded the boat with some concern. There were hardly any Japanese people, and perhaps it was a good thing that we boarded last, as we ended up sitting in a spot on the netting of the catamaran where we could dangle our feet and feel the waves. The adults had Mai Tais while the kids toasted with juice. We enjoyed the cruise until the sun began to set. As we picked up speed, the splashes of water added to the excitement. The kids intentionally went to get wet, so their dresses ended up soaked... Our warm jackets also got wet, and we were shivering from the cold in the later part of the trip. Although it was a sunset, the sea dyed in orange was impressive and became a wonderful memory. Both the adults and kids said they definitely want to ride again! By the way, since we had made the reservation for the first night, the kids were struggling with jet lag and were very sleepy on the way back.
夫婦と小学校低学年2人の4人で参加しました。
思ったより雲の多い日だったので心配しつつ乗船。日本人がほとんどおらず尻込みして最後に乗り込んだのが良かったのか、双胴船のネットの部分に足を投げ出して波を感じられる席に着きました。
大人はマイタイ、子供たちはジュースで乾杯。日が沈み始めるまではしばし遊覧を満喫しました。スピードを上げて波しぶきが上がり盛り上がりました。子供たちはわざわざ濡れにいったのでワンピースがビショビショ…。防寒用のパーカーも濡れてしまい後半寒さに震えていました。
サンセットでしたが、オレンジに染まった海が印象的で最高の思い出となりました。
大人も子供もまた絶対に乗りたいね!と言っていました。
ちなみに、初日の夜に予約していたため、子供たちは時差ぼけで帰り道眠くて仕方なかったようです。

The meeting place was fine since I had prepared by reading other people's reviews. The explanations on the ship were all in English, but they used gestures to help explain, so I could understand most of it. There were not many Japanese passengers, but on the contrary, it made me feel like I was abroad.
The all-you-can-drink option included sparkling wine, so my partner and I ended up finishing about three bottles (laughs). However, the crew members kept refilling our glasses without any unpleasant expressions, and we were able to enjoy the sunset while pleasantly tipsy.
This tour is especially satisfying for those who love alcohol. I will definitely use this service again when I visit Hawaii next time!
集合場所は他の方の口コミで予習していたため、問題ありませんでした。
船内は全て英語での説明ですが、身振り手振りを交えて説明して下さるため、だいたい理解できます。乗客は日本人は少ないですが、逆に海外に来た気分になれました♪
飲み放題はスパークリングワインもあったので、私たちカップルだけでボトル3本くらいあけてしまいました(笑)ですが、クルーの方たちは嫌な顔一つせずどんどんついで下さり、ほろ酔いでサンセットを見ることができました。
特にお酒好きには大満足なツアーなのではないでしょうか。次回ハワイに行ったときも利用させていただきます♪

Thank you for your great review! The previous vessel, the Waikiki Rigger retired in October 2013 so we are currently leasing the Island Magic. The exciting news is, we are building a brand new 45 foot, 49 passenger catamaran which will be here in 2015.
Thank you for joining us on the sunset sail and we look forward to seeing you again very soon!
