All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Trip was great! The crew was very friendly and answered our random questions. I loved getting to sail for the majority of the time that we were on the water, and getting a view of Waikiki & Diamond Head from the water! We had a great view of sunset as well, and planes taking off from HNL. It was BYOB, but they also had drinks for sale on the boat ($5/drink or $20 bottomless). The boat had a decent number of passengers, but I don’t think it was sold out, so it didn’t feel too crowded. The attached photo is of the boat before we boarded and left the marina.

Cooler w/ ice and a bottle opener would have been great!!

This sunset cruise was nearly perfect! My family and I were able to book our experience in the same week we took the cruise, I felt it was priced quite fairly and the process was very easy. The website's description was very helpful and I appreciated having the option to purchase dinner if I so wanted to. I did not buy the dinner package but the other guests who did seemed quite happy with their meals, though there weren't tables to place your food on. If you do choose to get the dinner, eat it before you get out to the open waters as you and your food can get pretty wet from ocean spray depending on where you sit. If you don't want to get wet there's plenty of seats that stay dry, though the catamaran can fill with many guests so arrive early if you want the best seating options. Overall, my family and I loved our experience, my mother was a bit worried as the crew didn't discuss emergency protocol but I never felt like this was a concern. The 90 minute trip had excellent views, wasn't too rocky, and I liked being able to bring my own drinks or purchasing drinks from the crew. I would highly recommend this activity to couples, families with older children, or friend groups. If I ever return to Oahu I would thoroughly like to do this again!

Crew, drinks, boat everything was really fun and the team did a great job of being helpful and fun!

The staff was extremely friendly. Safety and service was their priority. We had an amazing time through out the journey. It was the perfect sunset. Thank you!

I absolutely loved it, the entire crew were energetic and engaging! My aunt & I really enjoyed it

Would do it again. Great activity . Wasn’t sure where to get on boat but it all came together .

There were 10 of us that had the opportunity to enjoy a fancy dinner on the waters off of Ohau. The age range of our party were from 2-72.

From the time we arrived and checked in we were treated courteously and made to feel welcomed! The music and dancing while we waited made the experience more exciting for my nephews (2,4, & 8 years old) and for my Brother and wife who have never been to Hawaii before. Once onboard we were greeted by the captain of the boat which thrilled them silly and kept my sister in law busy trying to get them to their seats.

We had the best waitress for our table! we always had something to drink and when we were undecided she was able to suggest drinks for the adults and kids. When the boys were unsure with dinner, our waitress brought more cheese and fruit. We never had to look for her she just knew and was always available.

We all enjoyed the dancing and even were invited to join in. My nephews danced their hearts out, along with my mom (the 72 year old) and my sister. The views from the top deck were specular and we got some great family pictures.
Defiantly an event we will remember!
Thank you to the staff aboard the Star of Honolulu! you were fantastic!

Great time on the catamaran, staff was super accommodating. We went as a non-drinking family and it was very nice. There was even a proposal on the boat while we were there. Mixed crowd there was some Shorts and t-shirt and a also people were dressed up.

Such an awesome experience! I was worried with this being at such a low price compared to other similar excursions but it was amazing. The staff was incredibly personable and made the whole thing so fun. They took pictures for us and made sure our drinks were always full. Far more than just a sunset cruise, it was more like a party boat with a sunset bonus!

This was so much fun - great crew and awesome views

Trip went off without a hitch. Everything we expected and more. The Captain and crew were very accommodating, friendly and informative about the area. They let us pretty much make the call on where to go. Had an awesome time, and would highly recommend Captain Shane and the Royal Hawaiian Catamaran.

Great time with friends! The crew were so friendly but make sure to dress appropriately; people who didn’t wear swimsuits definitely regretted it! So much fun!!

we had a great time. the crew was a lot of fun and kept us entertained. would love to go back.

Captain and crew were great. Fun time had by everyone on board.

Ecstatic experience with great views of Waikiki, accommodating crew, and cool crowd.

Awesome staff, great music and what a wonderful experience to catch views of a beautiful sunset…

we loved every second of the ride and didn’t want it to end! staff was amazing, drinks were good, and the views were perfect. would definitely book again and highly recommend!

Such a beautiful way to see the sunset in Oahu. Great crew!!

We had a great time on the sunset cruise. The crew was awesome, and made our kids feel special!

Great crew, beautiful sail and fun new friends made - all added up to a great end to our Hawaiian vacay.

Don't miss this one!

My siblings and I had a wonderful time! Awesome pictures of the sunset and even saw a whale! The music was great and staff was fun! I could have stayed on that boat forever.

My partner and I had a blast on this sunset cruise. You get the laid-back local vibe from the staff and they play great music. We brought a couple of White Claws for ourselves to enjoy. The boat goes pretty far out and sometimes the waves get rough on the way out so if you get motion sickness easily may need to take something before. I suggest getting on the boat first if you want the best seat options to avoid being soaked! Such an amazing price for the experience, I wanted to do it a couple more times while on Oahu, Next time I am back I will be doing this again for sure! Don't forget to bring cash to tip these awesome guys!

Loved the experience and lovely Staff members. They were so friendly and very prompt with refilling the drinks. Beautiful sunset view and amazing music

It was indeed an outstanding experience doing this sunset dinner cruise with Star of Honolulu. We super enjoyed the 5-course dinner, the overflowing cocktails, the champagne and most of all the live music and cultural dances. You even made the journey more easy with your smooth pick up and drop off. All the staff were great as well! Special mention to Manager Rose for an excellent service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be booking with you again when we come back. Aloha and Mahalo❤️

Great time! fun and friendly! Beautiful view or the sunset and island. would go again!!

This Sunset Cruise was the best. We were a group of 5 females celebrating a birthday. We definitely did just that. This was the perfect way to get the celebrations started. Sunset was beautiful. We made new friends, staff was great and engaged with everyone on the catamaran. Def one of the best days of our trip.
Thank you!!!

This was an absolute blast!!! The crew was phenomenal!!!

Boat ride was amazing. Only an hour but still went out pretty far and hit some nice waves. So fun! Drinks were flowing! Will definitely book again!!

Great view, amazing service, and great customer service. I highly recommend for couples looking to relax and enjoy the ocean with a few drinks.
