The staff was great. The bartender was friendly and outgoing. The captain was awesome!! I've never been sailing before and my wife is an avid sailor and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. The ride was smooth. Coctails were available the whole time. We saw whales and a beautiful sunset.

What a great cruise!

Reviewed by: Janie

We had SUCH a wonderful time aboard this catamaran! The Captain and crew were friendly and efficient, the food was good and plentiful, the drinks were well made, and the view was just stunning! The light dinner (turkey wraps, pasta, and spring rolls with a cookie for desert) was plentiful and good quality, very fresh. The 3 free drink coupons we had were just the right amount, we didn't even need to buy more drinks. The bartender did a good job, the mixed dinks were well made. There is even a plasma TV on board with a video of underwater shots of fish if you prefer to stay below deck! The Vessel is very well kept and clean, quite comfortable, and lots of viewing space! It was a wonderful way to finish out out week in Hawaii~! The fireworks were beautiful, but short, but the view couldn't have been more lovely!

Makani Catamaran Sunset Sail Advent

Reviewed by: Shannan

This was an awesome activity!!! I went with my seven year old daughter and we both had a fabulous time. The sunset was AMAZING!! The crew and the captain were funny, polite, and extremely accomedating to the all guests on board. Before leaving the dock they went over safety tips, what food was being provide and where to find it, as well, the itenerary for the evenings trip. The fireworks from the Hilton were great! It was a nice way to wrap up the trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the open water and beautiful scenery.

Best thing EVER

Reviewed by: Jennifer Albritton

We attended this activity on April 4th 2008, We were in Hawii untill April 8th 2008 and overall this was the best experience we had on Oahu. From the very start of this Sail ,the Captain and Crew where terrific very helpfull and just a complete joy to be around. As a Couple it is very hard to get pictures of the two people together, Not on this adventure we actually had the bartender offer to take our pictures together for us. The meal was delicious, Weather was perfect. When we come back to Hawii I will definantly be looking up this company and doing this again We could not have anticipated just how much fun we would have on this sail. If there was one thing I had to tell you to do in Oahu it would be to go on this Sunset Sail. Thank you so much for the Truly enjoyable and relaxing adventure we look forward to seeing you in the Future.

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Fun!

Reviewed by: Dave

The crew members are some of the nicest people, they offer great friendly service to the passengers. They really do their best to please their customers. They offer some really good and original cocktails. Combined with the rocking motion of the catamaran, it is very much like riding a roller coaster! You will also get to see the beautiful sunset as well as the scenic landscapes that Hawai'i has to offer such as Diamondhead and city lights. The downside is that there are quite a bit of people so there is no privacy so i recommend this activity to families and friends. If you go at night time, don't forget to bring your jackets! Overall, its worth the price for something fun and relaxing!

Reviewed by: Fun Gyrl

I took my boyfriend to the afternoon whale watching sail with Makani Kai catamaran, and he had a fantastic time. The boat is beautiful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Even though we saw about two whales, we didn't mind that. It is a little rocky when you get out there, so for those who get boat sick easily, highly recommend to take them boat sickness bills prior to boarding the boat. Overall, this is such a fantastic ride, friendly crew, beautiful boat, and very relaxing! I will go again, probably take some friends this time!

Beautiful catamaran sunset cruise. We had whale sightings and a very nice sunset on sea. On Friday cruises you will be also to see the the fireworks, they start 8PM and we saw these just before returing to port. The food is not spectacular and could be improved a little in amount and variety. Mixed drinks are complimentary two per person and have more than enough alcohol content, stay with the beer, if you tend to get seasick!
Overall very enjoyable trip on a gorgeous boat!!!

It was quite the fun experience. From the Captain, to the first mate, to the bartender, they were all quite entertaining and they managed to make a relaxing time very much quite enjoyable. I went with my wife and we managed to get some beautiful pictures taken of this experience. The sun sets as you are sailing along the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond head.
I highly recommend this event for anyone who likes to just get away from it all for an evening. To top it all off, it also comes with a meal and two drinks so you have your evening off to a great start!

Awesome time, repeat visitor

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We are repeat visitors to Navatek. The entertainment is far superior to any other dinner cruise ship. These people really can sing and play their instruments very well. The singers are awesome. They don't just do a typical luau type show, they also sing a wide variety of music for listening or dancing. I told one of the singers that she is every bit as good or better than any of those American Idol people! We had a great time! The dancers are beautiful. The crew was very friendly and down to earth.
I've been on all the other dinner cruise ships as I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. We don't have an ocean where I live, so I always want to experience it when I'm there. All the other cruise ships(Alii Kai, Star of Honolulu and Starlet)were horrible. Nothing can beat the smooth ride on Navatek and the unobstructed views of the sunset that Navatek offers. I believe I have heard that no other dinner cruise ship goes past Diamond Head to Kahala and beyond -- and I believe it. Every time I've

Was an excellent sail watching the lights of Honolulu and the fireworks - it's beautiful and I recommend it to any couple.

Only bad points were that they could provide a little more food for everyone and they missed us for pickup even though we were waiting at the designated spot well before the specified time but with many other tours departing that spot it can get hard to find people I guess.

Thanks guys!

Very Nice

Reviewed by: Michael from NY

I took my girlfriend to the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was very romantic and fun. We booked the Royal Package, so we were taken to the upstairs which was much better than standard in the downstairs (i think!). The foods were great, and we couldn't even finish the three (3) drink tickets we received. The guy who was singing and playing the guitar for us that night was fantastic. The boat itself was pretty stable, and even though I was worried that I would get seasick, neither of us did. :)

For the foods, drinks, entertainment we got, I would recommend this cruise to anyone! Our server, Jenn, was very pleasant as well.

Great food, a great staff, and a beautiful boat. What you would expect from a non-private romantic dinner cruise. Got the 5 drinks per person included but didn't have time to finish all the drinks. Window seat was nice but doesn't allow for the best view of the dancers and performers on the stage . I would definitely recommend it as for the price you get everything expected.

We had a great time on the Navatek. Met some really nice people. The problem was we were right in front of the entertainer's and some in the group complained the volume of the entertainment was too loud. Of course you really couldn't carry on a conversation during dinner because the entertainment was a bit loud! The service was great, the food fantasic, just the entertainment a bit too loud.

Great times in paradise...

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time! We opted for the sit down dinner to get window seats for 4. The dinner was more food than we could eat which was served course by course beginning with cocktails and skewered shrimp, followed by a salad, lobster, and lastly steak and vegetables. They time the meal so that you are finished in time to watch the sunset. There is a small deck outside that only holds about 20; so keep an eye on the time and leave your table early to secure a spot on the deck to watch the sunset. After the sunset return to your table to enjoy the entertainment and dessert. Overall this was a great experience.

Fireworks anyone?

Reviewed by: NoDayButToday

Cruising on the Makani Catamaran on the Friday Night Fireworks Sail was a breathtaking experience!

After departing from Kewalo Basin, the crew quickly set up the sails so the vessel could glide through the water purely on wind power. It was amazing to stand on the bow of the catamaran, with just the sound of the ocean and the breeze in my ears. Normally there is that incessant growl of an engine when you are on a boat, but not on the Makani!

The crew members catered to the guests wonderfully and were always available to take photos, clean up the inevitably drink spill or answer any questions that we had. There were also some very yummy pupus on board, like chicken wraps, spring rolls, pasta salad and some cookies for anyone with a sweet tooth. Rather than being confined to a table, and being served by waiters, guests are free to snack and walk meander around the catamaran as they please. Oh! I mustn't forget the drinks?the bartenders whip up some very yummy cocktails! The recomm

Fun sailing

Reviewed by: Nicky

This past weekend my kids and I went on the Makani Catamaran Sailing Adventure and we had a great time. As soon as we got on board my kids were so excited. The crew of the boat gave a brief safety tutorial and as soon as they were done we were headed for sea. There was food for everyone and a bar to purchase drinks. It was such an adventure especially if you like the sun, the wind, and the waves. My kids joined some of the other guests on the net that was located at the front of the Makani, loving the cool splashes of the water as we picked up speed, while being able to see right under where they sat. The crew was so polite and friendly always checking to make sure that everyone is alright. I would definitely recommend this tour to you if you like the relaxing yet adventurous activities while being able to view the beautiful scenery of the water and land of Oahu.
