Initially I was a bit skeptical about booking the sunset cruise because it had mixed reviews. It was my husband’s birthday so I took a chance. The booking I must say could be a bit easier to navigate, however this review is about the amazing experience. The transportation to the dock was free and luxurious from our hotel. Arriving at the dock we were greeted by music and the nicest staff, where we were then guided to the top deck to a welcome ceremony with Hors d’oeuvres and photos with the captain. After which we were shown to our table and the luxurious dining experience commenced. There were seven courses of excellent food and amazing staff. Our server Tyler was very nice and accommodating. The live piano jazz was a nice touch. The view was absolutely amazing so many photo worthy moments out on the deck! The overall experience was well worth it. The only con I would say is that the ship is a bit weathered, needs painting and updating in the dining rooms. Despite the dated decor we had a fantastic time.

Beautiful area, white tablecloths.....table for two, which was the best. Food was so delicious and the service was outstanding.....our waiter was the BEST! Loves his job and does an outstanding job of it. Enjoyed the show and hearing about the history of Hawaii....everything was PERFECT.

My family and I ended our 7-day Hawaii vacation by booking this sunset booze cruise for our last night and it did NOT disappoint! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. That sunset was truly stunning! The crew was extremely friendly and ensured we never had an empty beer or mai tai in our hands! One thing to keep in mind is that if waves are a bit rough it will not depart from Waikiki beach. Instead, they can change the departure to the pier, which is about a 15+ min drive from Waikiki with limited parking. To be honest I was definitely a bit disappointed about that but I forgot all about once I stepped on that catamaran and was given a Mai tai! Go ahead and book this, it's totally worth it!

Jenna & The Cruise Driver we’re extremely friendly, and made the experience for our family and the rest of the riders very fun and safe. They explained to us always what to expect. They let us experience the waters of the ocean by putting our feet in as we cruised in the sailboat and listened to music. The ambiance felt great and soothing. They also took us turtle watching and got to see some beautiful huge sea turtles. We also enjoyed the splash of the waves while we sat on the net of the sailboat, my boys enjoyed that so much and it kept them refreshed! And the best part is the dip in the water, so refreshing and wonderful experience for those who wanted to take a a quick dip. I’m so thankful to Jenna as she took good care of the group, while The cruise driver was always so detailed in explaining everything we would see and do. They both went above & beyond. Best experience ever!!! Mahalo!!!!!

My girlfriend and I were visiting Oahu for her birthday and we did the catamaran cruise on our first night on the island - such an amazing way to start our trip. The crew was friendly, high-energy, played great music to dance to, and they kept the drinks going the whole cruise. Also, met a lot of cool people that were also visiting. PROTIP: BOOK THE LAST CRUISE OF THE DAY TO CATCH THE SUNSET! (Make sure it's clear or partly cloudy skies though) Can't recommend this cruise enough!

Highly enjoyed the entertainment; the singer has such a beautiful voice and I can listen to her sing all night long.
The dinner was good. Wished temp was hot on dishes, but presented beautifully. Server was a nice young lady, pleasant smile.
View of the island was so beautiful. I was slightly hungover though from night prior, so did not want to get up and explore the balcony.
Would definitely recommend this adventure!

From the minute we got on the boat the crew were outstanding. Made sure we were safe but made sure that we had a great time. The main attraction of the sunset was made even better by the upbeat tunes, great drink selection and the energy on the boat. Make sure you come ready to have fun!

Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, the sunset over the ocean was very beautiful. However, it was a bit disappointing because there were many clouds that evening. The boat sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those worried about seasickness to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Along the way, dolphins came close to the boat, and we were able to see them from on board.
ワイキキ沖ということもあり、海の上から見る夕日はとても綺麗でした。しかし、ツアーの日の夕方は雲が多かったので少し残念でした。船はけっこう揺れるので、船酔いが心配な方は予め酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います。途中でイルカが船の近くまで来てくれて、船の上から見る事ができました。

My family and I had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday with the Star of Honolulu. We opted to have the Luxury experience and it was the best decision. From the initial boarding process, to the welcome reception with the captain, it was easy and seamless. The appetizers and the welcome Bellini's were an added bonus with the beautiful backdrop of the Honolulu skyline and ocean. The dining experience was amazing. From the welcome hula dancers to the curated jazz piano and saxophone combination, the cruise did a great job curating a luxury experience.
We were able to experience beautiful views of the ocean and the city from the water as there were large windows circumferentially about the dining room. This also helped to heighten the sunset experience and for us to better appreciate the allure of the Hawaiian sky.
Most importantly, the food selection was amazing. Our collective most impressive course was the lobster bisque. It had an exquisite flavor and the lobster itself was so tender and succulent. The only draw back is we wish we had a larger bowl! The main courses of lobster tail and beef wellington were made to perfection and the paired sides were delicious. The bartender was also top notch, and made delicious and eye appealing cocktails that really elevated our experience.
Importantly, the wait staff were so attentive and friendly. This also helped to elevate the experience. Much attention was given to the small details that ensured that the experience was five star luxury at its finest. Without a doubt, we would recommend this dining experience when visiting Honolulu. Whether it be for a birthday celebration, a date night, or just because, this experience was a highlight of our Hawaiian vacation and we are so happy to have incorporated it in our itinerary.

This booze cruise was mediocre. We watched them struggle on several trips to get the catamaran out on the ocean, not at the fault of the staff, but seemingly due to the tropical weather. Other cruises didn’t seem to have this issue so we always wondered why this catamaran did. The crew serving drinks worked hard to make sure everyone always had a drink in their hand. They serve “Mai Tais” that looked and tasted more like a cheap margarita or Corona Extras. The sunset was beautiful and in the end, we felt we got what we paid for. Would not recommend this cruise for children.

Very reasonable priced glass bottom boat trip with a knowledgeable captain who told
great stories on the history of the area. His lovely wife even took a family photo for us with diamond head in the background.
We saw dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish.
The boat was clean and sanitised before we boarded. Free Water was provided and a toilet onboard.
Only negative is that It would have been wonderful if able to to go below deck to view under or From side viewing panels instead of Viewing down from the top.
I would recommend this trip for the views and experiences.

Reservations were fully booked for two days in advance, so same-day applications were not possible. I recommend making an early reservation. Before boarding, they asked if I had a fever and provided a paper to write down contact information in case of an accident.
When boarding, you need to take off your sandals. You will get wet up to your knees, so please wear something that can get wet. It's barefoot inside the boat. Many people wore swimsuits because of the splashes along the way. I brought a towel to dry my feet. There was a place to store luggage inside the boat. You can buy Mai Tais and juice on board, and there were restrooms available. I brought my own drinks, though. The staff took photos and were very friendly, making it a lot of fun!
予約が2日分先まで埋まっていて、当日の申し込みはできない状態でした。早めの予約をお勧めします。乗る前には熱がないかを聞かれたり、事故にあった場合の連絡先など書く紙がありました。
いざ乗るときにはサンダルを脱いで乗ります。膝くらいまでは濡れますので、濡れても良い格好で参加してください。船内は裸足です。途中しぶきで濡れるので、水着の方が多かったです。足を拭くタオルを私は持っていきました。船内に荷物を入れる場所はありました。船内では、マイタイやジュースを買うことができますし、トイレがありました。私は飲み物は持参しましたが、、。スタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、気さくでとても楽しかったです!

Disappointing! This excursion was marketed as a sunset dinner cruise. There was a boat - and a takeout bag of overpriced food, but no tables. The information provided did not include the type of attire that was appropriate for the boat or even how long the trip was. For the price of the trip and meal, I expected to at least not to have to juggle my food on my lap. The crew was nice, but they also made sure we were positioned to be back dockside as soon as the sun broke the horizon. If you are looking for a quick, casual romp, this might work for you - but if you are looking for a romantic dinner cruise - this may not be it.
