This was by far the highlight of our vacation and ending it on top of the world with beautiful boat ride. The dinner was excellent for the price. The boat was absolutely amazing and entertaining starting with a great captain. The Hula dance was beautiful. The Friday night boat ride ended with a fabulous Fireworks show and incredible Fire Show. I guarantee you this is a show you will love from the beautiful boat, to the amazing scenery, awesome food, beautiful Hula dancing, incredible Fire Show and Amazing Fireworks. This experience was well worth the great price. We will definitely book this experience again! Thank you for an awesome time and help build cherished memories!
Glad You had such a good time, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and the great review.

We really enjoyed the Makani Dinner Sail. Booking was easy through the website and the pick-up instructions were clear. When we arrived at the Illikai at the appointed time, the shuttle driver greeted us by name and we were off!
On board, the crew was super-friendly and low-key, not uptight or scoldy at all, which is always nice when you're out on an adult dinner cruise. And I was really happy that once we got out into open water, the captain shut off the engines and proceeded under sail. Much nicer ambiance without the diesels droning. Drinks were perfectly fine. My only critique would be food quality. The buffet they rolled out was perfectly fine for a boomer reunion picnic but as a picky millennial, I would happily pay a little extra per ticket for a level-up on the dinner spread. Maybe audition a few new caterers? Just didn't think it was at the same standard as everything else. Overall though, a really lovely break from Waikiki!

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.
残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.
妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.
船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.
夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか?
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.
スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Overall, the sunset cocktail cruise was excellent. The service staff was very attentive and would frequently go around the catamaran, refilling drinks and asking if you needed anything. The cruise itself did not take you very far from the pier, and stayed off the Waikiki coast, but still had an excellent view of diamond head and sunset. The appetizers were good, though not very substantial, consisting of chips, salsa, guacamole, salad, pasta salad, veggies, and rolls. Wouldn’t expect to get full from the food. The drinks were great, and basically free-flowing. Overall an excellent cocktail cruise

The staff warmly welcomed us and took commemorative photos. After boarding, the 3rd floor has a dinner class, while the 2nd floor offers appetizers. We were able to enjoy a buffet of light snacks (like meatballs) on the 2nd floor, where there were few passengers and the spacious interior of the ship allowed us to relax. There was live music on board that we could enjoy until we docked. The staff's service was also good. We went around the back of Diamond Head and returned, but since it was a new ship, we didn't experience any seasickness and were able to dock smoothly. The price was reasonable, and I highly recommend it.
出迎えではスタッフが丁寧に出迎え記念写真を撮ってくださいました。
乗船後3Fはディナーがあるクラスですが2Fはアペタイトです。私達は2Fで乗船客も少なくゆったりと広々とした船内で食べ放題の軽食(ミートボールなど)をたくさん食べることができました。船内では生演奏があり入港まで聞くことができました。スタッフの対応も良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで行き引き返しますが、新しい船なので船酔いすることもなく寄港することができました。
値段も安くておすすめです。

I was torn between a large ship, but since I had a toddler with me, I decided to join this optional tour where toddlers are free at the buffet. A welcome drink is included, and you can enjoy unlimited food while sipping on that. With live music, hula dancers performed, and everyone on board danced and had a great time. The waitresses were also lively and good at dancing. There were many non-Japanese guests, and we celebrated together with people from various countries, including those celebrating anniversaries and birthdays. The sunset started to become visible around 6:30, and I was able to capture beautiful photos.
大きい船と迷ったのですが幼児もいたのでバイキングで幼児は無料となっているこのオプショナルツアーに参加しました。ウエルカムドリンクは1杯付いていて、そちらを飲みながら好きな食事をとり放題。生演奏の中フラを踊ってくれて乗船されたみんなで踊り盛り上がりました。ウエイトレスものりのりで、踊りが上手でした。日本人以外が多く色々な国の方と一緒に盛り上がり結婚記念日と誕生日の方もいてみんなでお祝い。夕陽が6時半位から見え始め綺麗に写真におさめることができました。

The sunset was the goal, but due to bad weather, we couldn't go out into the bay. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was not delicious at all. It felt more like just having a meal inside the boat rather than a sunset dinner cruising experience.

We originally tried to book the Star Line dinner cruise, but it was booked up. I'm glad we decided to book the Makani dinner cruise. It exceeded all of our expectations! The boat wasn't very big, but was able to accommodate up to 65 people.
The crew were very welcoming and willing to help with anything we needed during our ride. They really made the whole experience a lot more personable than we would have gotten if we booked the Star Cruise.
The food was a small buffet style selection. It was all you can eat, and was excellent! They don't have an open bar, but there's one free drink included in your purchase. The bartender Chris was a real cool guy. Probably the most popular guy on the boat. I can't seem to put my finger on why lol.
To cap the night off the fireworks over the water were amazing! To see Waikiki lit up and glaring with fireworks was the highlight for me. I would definitely recommend wearing a light jacket, possibly even some pants. It gets extremely windy during the ride!
If you're considering doing the dinner cruise you can't go wrong with the Makani!
Aloha and Mahalo for sharing your Sail Makani experience. So glad to hear you decided to sail with us. Looking forward to sailing with you once again.
