We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

I'm not big on touristy activities, but I was thoroughly surprised at how fun this sunset cruise was. My 2 daughters (8 and 5) both had a blast. Being out in the open waters does wonders... next time I'm in Hawaii, I know what we're doing again.

This is the best experience on the catamaran. We enjoyed a lot. This is more than worth the price we paid for. The drinks were awesome and all together a great experience event.

Was a nice time. The mixed drink that was served had too much sugar. I think it is best to stick with wine or beers, or at least have a drink that is more rich with booze and not so sweet.

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

It's a boat that feels like a fish without substance, but it allows you to feel close to the sea, which is great. It's a fun experience that you don't get with larger boats.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

The sunset viewed from the catamaran was amazing. The wind is strong over the sea, and it gets quite cool in the evening, so don't forget to bring a light jacket!

We will set sail around 4:00 PM and return before 6:00 PM. One of the great points is being able to see Waikiki from a perspective that you can't from the ground. Additionally, you can view Diamond Head from an angle that is usually not visible, which was also nice. We'll return just in time for sunset, so you'll get to see a really beautiful sunset. Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I think it's great for those who can handle their alcohol and don't get seasick!
16:00ころ出航して、18:00前くらいに戻ってきます。
地上からは見ることの出来ないワイキキの姿を見れるのがグッドポイントです。またダイアモンドヘッドも普段は見れない角度から見れてこれも良かった。
戻ってくる頃にちょうどサンセットの時間帯ですごくきれいな夕日が見れます。
お酒が飲み放題なので、お酒が強くて、船酔いしない人にとっては良いと思います!

We participated as a family of four. Since I have experienced dinner cruises on large ships twice before, this time we chose the catamaran. The ship was almost full, but we were the only Japanese guests. There were many foreign couples, and the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was very popular. I had three myself.
It does sway quite a bit (sometimes the captain intentionally makes it rock), so it's not suitable for families with small children, but you can stand on the deck, and I think it's perfect for adult groups. Also, since we stayed at the Sheraton, it's very convenient for those staying at nearby hotels. I definitely want to participate again next time.
家族4名で参加しました。
大型船でのディナークルーズは、これまで2回経験しているので、今回はカタマラン号にしました。
船内は、ほぼ満席でしたが、日本人は我々だけ。外国人は、カップルも多く、飲み放題でマイタイが大人気。私も3杯いただきました。
さすがに揺れるので(船長がわざと揺らす場合もあります)、小さい子供づれには不向きですが、甲板にも立てますし、大人のグループには最適だと思います。また、宿泊がシェラトンだったのっで、近くのホテルに宿泊の方はとても便利です。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

There are various menus available, and even during the bright red sunset from land, sea, and sky, the sunset from the sea evokes an exhilarating reaction regardless of age. The pricing, crew, number of tour participants, and of course, the handsome captain provided truly delightful service tailored for singles, couples, and families. About one-third of the tour participants were Japanese, but after departure, everyone formed a group. The hosts were wonderful, and coincidentally, we were on the same boat as the currently popular couple, Yuya Uchida and Kiki Kuroki, which added to the sense of quality. I would love to ride the same catamaran with the same crew next time.
色々なメニューが有ります、陸海空からの真っ赤なサンセット中でも海からのサンセットは年齢に関わらず感激の奇声を発してしまいます、価格、クルー、ツアーの人数、キャプテンは無論イケメンコンビは、シングル、カップル、ファミリーへの肌理細やかなサービスには誠に楽しいものでした、ツアーの日本人は三分の一位でしたが,出航後は全員がグループ化していました素晴らしいホストでもありました、又当日は偶然にも今話題の内田裕也、樹希樹林夫妻と同船で、グレード感も感じました、次回も同じクルーのカタマラン号に乗りたいたいと思います。

The sunset viewed from Waikiki Beach is beautiful, but the sunset seen from the ocean is exceptional. Be sure to enjoy the sunset cruise on a catamaran among the guests from the mainland. I think you'll create memories that are different from before.

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

We participated as a couple on the recommendation of our son and his wife, who joined us two days ago. Although I couldn't catch the English explanations very well, we had a great time following these points that I heard from them:
- Sit inside the red line on the net during departure and arrival.
- Once we are out at sea, try to avoid going on the net as much as possible.
- Do not touch the ropes.
- The first drink is recommended to be the original cocktail, but there is also unlimited beer, champagne, and wine available.
2日前に参加した息子夫婦から勧められ、夫婦で参加しました。説明の英語はうまく聞き取れませんでしたが、息子夫婦から伝え聞いた以下の点を守って、大いに楽しみました。
出港時と帰港時は、ネットの上、赤線の内側に座ること、
沖に出たらネットの上にはできるだけ行かないこと、
ロープ類には触らないこと、
最初の一杯はオリジナルカクテルをお勧めするが、他にビールもシャンパンもワインも飲み放題なこと。

The view of Waikiki from the sea was truly exceptional. This time, there were no other Japanese participants, and the crew's explanations were in lively local English, so I felt that having a certain level of English understanding would make it more enjoyable. Unlimited champagne, the best views, and a fun time with happy fellow passengers—it's really a great deal for this price.
海から振り返って見るワイキキの景色は、また格別でした。今回は日本人の参加者が他にいなく、クルーの説明もノリのいいローカルイングリッシュなので、ある程度の英語が分かった方が安心して楽しめるかな、とは感じました。飲み放題のシャンパン、最高の景色、ハッピーな乗客のみなさんとの楽しい時間、この価格で楽しめるなんて、ほんとうにお得です。

It was an easy, inexpensive, and refreshing sailing experience. Running across the sea towards the sunset felt great, and the view of Honolulu in the evening from the ocean was beautiful. It seems that we went quite far out compared to other yachts.
The captain and staff's explanations are in English, but they don't seem to say much, so I think it's fine even for those who are not good at English. The participants were about 60% Westerners and 40% Japanese, including couples, families, and groups. Since alcoholic drinks were free, it got lively towards the end, mainly among the Westerners.
The check-in office is located near the Sheraton Hotel's beach foot wash area, close to the landing spot for the Mai Tai Catamaran. It's a small yacht, but there is a small, narrow toilet located at the front of the left hull. It shakes a bit, so it's not very convenient to use.
手軽で、安くて、爽快なセーリングでした。
夕日に向かって海原を走るのは大変気持ちが良く、沖から見る夕方のホノルルの街もきれいでした。他のヨットにくらべかなり沖に出るようです。
船長・スタッフの説明は英語ですが、大したことは言っていない模様ですでの、英語の苦手な方のでも大丈夫かと思います。
参加者は西洋人6割、日本人4割ぐらいで、カップル、ファミリー、グループいろいろでした。アルコール類もフリードリンクだったので、最後の方は西洋人中心に盛り上がっていました。
チェックイン事務所はシェラトンホテルのビーチ足洗い場近くにあり、マイタイ・カタマラン号の上陸場所近くです。
ちっちゃいヨットですが、左胴体内の前方下に小さく狭いトイレがあります。揺れますのであまり使い勝手は良くないです。

The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

My trip to Oahu was for my honey moon. Everything was amazing! After 2 weeks of tours, hikes, shopping, snorkeling & beach fun in the sun-we needed something quiet & romantic. So our last night on this beautiful island was spent on board the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise. I chose this cruise line because I am easily motion sick & was told the build of this ship helped prevent a lot of the swaying you experience. It was great! Food was good-hawaiian pork, chicken teriyaki, potatoes & veggies(you want fancy-up grade),drinks were yum-decently priced. The crew was very nice! The most important part of the ship was the observation decks-awsome!! Plenty of room for everyone. I got some beautiful pics & wonderful memories! & the Friday night fire works made a fabulous ending to a perfect evening at the end of an amazing trip!! I would rebook this cruise on every trip I made!
