The fireworks from the sea on the boat were amazing. It was a small boat, but it didn't sway much. The Viking buffet was quite delicious as well. However, for first-timers, I recommend booking a larger boat for a better experience.
船で海からの花火は最高でした。
小さな船でしたがあまりゆれず
バイキングビッフェもなかなか美味しかった
でも、初めての方は、もう少し大きな船でランクを上げて予約する事をお勧めします。

The Manu Kai catamaran fireworks sail was a wonderful experience. The boat wasn’t overly crowded so that made for easy viewing of the fireworks. The captain and crew also exceeded expectations. They were friendly, approachable, and very generous with their drinks. All of these things definitely added to the overall positive experience. The perfect birthday activity idea for a Friday night visiting Honolulu. Would highly recommend. But be sure to bring a jacket, as it does get quite chilly at night!

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.
初めて海上からワイキキを観る事が出来ました。
ヒルトンの花火もヒルトンラグーンから観る花火とは違った印象を受けたのは、まるで花火を独占していたかのように感じたからでしょう。
只、食事はあまり期待しない方が良いと思います。

Friday night firework dinner cruise was fantastic.
Drinks, music, food, picturesque views of the city, mountains, and ocean. Sat on the front of the boat outside with my wife and 2 teenage boys.
A memory that’s hard to recreate. I read reviews prior to the trip and saw griping about the food.
Ridiculous in my opinion. If you want gourmet food then go to a 5 Star restaurant. If you want the memory of a sunset cruise on a catamaran with fireworks, alcoholic beverages, music, and fun people the. I recommend

I was nervous about whether we would make it since our pickup was over 30 minutes late. A young American couple waiting next to us asked, "Where is it going?" When I showed them my voucher, we realized we were on the same tour, and they contacted the tour company for us, which was a relief. The atmosphere on the boat wasn't bad, but it seemed a bit off for us. The only time it really got lively was during the fireworks. Well, the main purpose was to see the fireworks from the sea, so my husband and I thought, "Well, it's okay," as we returned home. Ah, it’s hard to say we had a lot of fun, though.
お迎えが30分以上遅れて間に合うのかドキドキでした.隣でお迎えを待っていた若いアメリカ人のカップルの男性がwere is go と聞いてくれたのでバウチャーを見せると同じツアーということが分かりツアー会社に連絡をとってくれたので一安心でした.船の中の雰囲気は悪くないけど私たちにはちょっと合わなかったようです.花火のときだけは大盛り上がり まあ一番の目的は海上から花火を見ることだったので主人と二人 まあいいか と帰ってきました.ああー楽しかったとは言い難いかな?

The boat I wanted to take was canceled due to maintenance, and I made a last-minute reservation without much expectation. However, being close to the water and feeling the pleasant sea breeze while watching Waikiki transform from day to night was really wonderful. The casual style allowed us to sit at the front of the boat and relax. We could see the happy Friday fireworks from the front, making it feel like we had them all to ourselves. Drinks were unlimited, and the crew promptly checked on us when our drinks ran low and made more for us. The food was delicious too. They brought desserts around to the guests, and everyone was really nice. Although I'm not very good at English, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. I usually don't get motion sickness in cars or boats, but I was a bit worried about seasickness when we headed out. Surprisingly, it didn't sway much even while docked. I felt the price was a bit high when I signed up, but it was totally worth it. It was the best experience!
乗りたい船がメンテナンスでキャンセルになり、ぎりぎりで予約して期待してなかったのですが、海面が近くて、海風が心地よくワイキキの町を日が沈み夜景に変化していく姿もとっても良かったです。ラフなスタイルのため船の前の方に座ってのんびりできます。happy Fridayの花火他の船より前で見ることができます。花火独り占めな感じです。飲み物も飲み放題でした。船員さんも飲み物なくなるとすぐ聞いてくれて作ってくれます。食べ物もおいしかったです。デザートを船のあちこちにいるお客さんの所に持ってきてくれてとってもいい人達でした。英語得意ではないですが日本語できるスタッフいるので安心でした。普段車酔いや船酔いなどしない方ですが、沖に出るため船酔いを気にしましたが停泊中も意外と揺れなかったです。お値段は少し高いかなーと感じて申し込みましたが全然良かったです。最高でした。

I reluctantly participated here as I couldn't secure a reservation for the Star of Honolulu and Majestic. However, this cruise takes a detour to ensure a clear view of Diamond Head, and thanks to the surrounding sailboats, you can capture beautiful photos. Unfortunately, on the day of the cruise, the weather was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset, but it would have been visible without any issues on a clear day. The buffet can be thought of as simple fast food and drinks, so I don't think it will be a major issue. As for the evening fireworks, it was surprisingly close, which was quite moving.
One point to note right after boarding is that the announcements will be made in Japanese in the cabin and in English on the deck. It’s definitely advisable to secure a spot on the deck. The announcements include the locations of the restrooms (two at the back), explanations of the boat/life jackets in case of an emergency, and how to order drinks, which are all straightforward matters.
スターオブホノルル号とマジェスティック号の予約が取れず、渋々こちらに参加しました。
然るに、本回遊はダイヤモンドヘッドがしっかり見えるまで迂回し、周りの帆船の甲斐あって、美しい写真が撮れます。当日は残念ながら曇天につき夕陽は拝めませんでしたが、快晴であれば問題なく見れたでしょう。ビュッフェは簡単なファストフード&ドリンクと思って頂ければ大きな問題にはならないと思います。後は夜の花火ですが、意外と間近で拝見することになり感無量になります。
一点、乗船直後の諸注意連絡ですが、日本語説明をキャビンで、英語説明をデッキで行います。どう考えても場所取りはデッキを押さえるべきです。連絡事項はトイレの場所(後方2箇所)、不慮の事故の際のボート/ライフジャケットの説明、ドリンクオーダーの仕方などで全く問題ない内容です。

I also rode on the Majestic, so I would be happy if you could use it for comparison. First of all, the Majestic is a large ship, like a cruise ship. Therefore, it doesn't sway. However, the distance from the sea is far, so I would definitely recommend the Majestic for elderly people.
The Makani is a large yacht. It's thrilling, and you are very close to the sea, so think of it as a home party atmosphere on a big yacht. Because it's thrilling, it sways a lot. I took my parents in their 70s, and they struggled to endure the swaying, which left them with sore legs and unable to move the next day, forcing us to take a day off at the hotel.
The food is not much different on either, but since it sways a lot, many people got seasick. (About 30% of the people were definitely seasick.)
If you want a small passenger ship that is stable and doesn't sway, go for the Majestic. If you want to enjoy the sea and the swaying with a yacht-like experience, choose the Makani.
The low rating is not due to poor content, but because there wasn't much mention of the swaying in the reviews, which led me to take my parents in their 70s without considering it, resulting in a low rating. The staff and the ship were not bad.
マジェスティック号にも乗りましたので、比較検討に使ってもらえたらうれしいです。まず、マジェスティック号は大きな船です。客船みたいな。なので、揺れません。その代わり海との距離は遠いのでご年配の方は迷わずマジェスティックをお勧めします。
マカニ号は大きなヨットです。スリリングですし、海とも非常に近く、大きなヨットの上でホームパーティみたいな雰囲気だと思ってください。スリリングな分、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。70代の両親を連れて行ったのですが、あまりの揺れに踏ん張って耐えていたため、翌日足腰が痛くて動けなくなり、翌日一日ホテルでお休みを取ることになってしまいました。
食事の内容はどっちも大差ないですが、とにかく揺れるので、だいぶみなさん酔ってました。(3割ぐらいの方は確実に酔ってました。)
小さな客船で揺れもなく安定した感じを希望ならマジェスティック号。
海面と近くてヨットに乗る感覚で海や揺れを楽しみたい方はマカニ号です。
評価が低いのは内容が悪いのではなく、評価の中であんまり揺れに関する事が書かれていなかったので、揺れを気にせず70代の両親を連れて行ってしまったという事での低評価です。スタッフの方も船も悪くはありません。

The Makani No. 2 was a two-hull yacht.
In March, Hawaii is in its rainy season, and unfortunately, the weather was not great, but luckily it didn't rain.
We set sail from Kewalo Basin and enjoyed a round trip of about two hours near Diamond Head. I was able to experience the Hawaiian sea right beneath us and had a thrilling time.
Along the way, I got quite cold, but the staff member kindly served us warm herbal tea. The cookies were delicious too! ^_^

The number of passengers is about 40 to 50, mostly foreigners. When we boarded, there were only three groups of Japanese, including us.
All explanations and announcements after boarding are in English, but even for someone like me who struggles with English, I could somewhat grasp the atmosphere and understood that they were explaining the ship's features and safety instructions with a bit of humor.
After departure, we had about two hours of free time to enjoy meals and drinks, take in the scenery, and take photos. Initially, many people focused on getting food and ordering drinks, but after a while, the atmosphere on the ship settled down. The staff came around to take drink orders, took photos, and later brought around desserts. As we approached the time for fireworks, the staff provided guidance (all in English), and everyone moved to the deck to enjoy the fireworks from prime spots.
After the fireworks ended, we returned to the dock, marking the end of the dinner sailing.
As noted in the guidelines, "the dress code is casual," which made me wonder how casual it really was. I think wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals is perfectly fine. As mentioned in other people's experiences, you need to take off your shoes before boarding. In reality, you remove your shoes on land and place them in a large basket, then walk a little on asphalt to board the ship. Most people took off their socks when removing their shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals from the start. Also, since shoes are placed directly in the basket without bags, if you're concerned, it might be best to avoid expensive or brand-name shoes.
Regarding the food, it was a buffet as listed on the menu. The ship swayed quite a bit, so I couldn't eat a full meal and ended up just having light snacks. For drinks, each person received two alcohol tickets, but honestly, it felt like you could drink as much as you wanted (though this might have only been the case on the day we participated).
Depending on the weather, the ship can sway quite a lot due to being on the sea. If you're worried at all, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took medication before boarding. To avoid seasickness, I kept my meal light, opted for soft drinks, and thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience without feeling sick.
Overall, true to the tour's name, I was able to enjoy the sunset and fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze on the sea, creating wonderful memories. The staff were friendly and very nice. However, considering the atmosphere on the ship and the variety of food, I think the price is quite high. Honestly, I found myself justifying the cost with reasons like "it's a family trip" or "we're in Hawaii," trying to convince myself that the price was reasonable.
乗船人数はだいたい40~50名程度でほとんどが外国人の方です。私たちが乗船したときは、私たちを含め日本人は3組でした。
乗船後の説明・案内等は全て英語ですが、英語が苦手な私でもなんとなく雰囲気で船内の説明や注意事項を冗談交じりで説明しているんだなぁということがわかりました。
出発後は、食事やドリンクを受け取り食事をしたり、景色を眺めたり、写真を撮ったり、2時間くらい自由な時間を過ごす感じです。最初は食事を取りに行く方やドリンクを注文しに行く方が集中しますが、少し時間が経つと船内の中が落ち着き、スタッフの方がドリンクの注文を聞いてまわってくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、後半にはデザートを持ってまわってくれました。出発から2時間くらいが経って花火の時間が近づくとスタッフの方が案内をしてくれ(全て英語です)、全員デッキへ移動して特等席で花火を見ることが出来ます。
花火終了後は乗り場まで戻り、ディナーセーリング終了という流れです。
ご注意・ご案内の欄にも記載ある通り、“ドレスコードはカジュアルです”となっているため、どの程度のカジュアルなのかとても悩みましたが、Tシャツ・短パン・サンダル等のラフな格好で問題ないと思います。他の方々の体験談にも記載のとおり、船内は靴を脱いで乗船となります。実際は、船を乗る前に、陸のところで靴を脱ぎ大きなカゴみたいなところに靴を入れて、船のところまでアスファルトの上を少し歩き、乗船します。靴下等を履いている場合は、靴を脱ぐ際に一緒に靴下を脱いでいる方がほとんどでしたので、最初からサンダルで行くことをお勧めします。また、靴は袋等に入れることなくカゴの中にそのまま入れるため、もし気になる方がいれば高級な靴やブランド靴は控えたほうが良いかと思います。
料理については、メニューに記載されている内容のビュッフェでした。船が大変揺れますので、私はしっかり食事を取ることはできず、おつまみのような軽食を食べるのみになってしまいました。
ドリンクについては、アルコールチケット1人2枚までもらえますが、正直あまり関係なく何杯でも飲めるような感じでした。(私たちが参加した日だけかもしれませんが)
天候にもよると思いますが、海の上のため、船はかなり揺れます。少しでも心配な方は酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。私は乗り物酔いをしやすいため、乗船前に薬を飲んでから参加しました。船酔いだけは避けたかったため、食事も軽めに済ませ、ドリンクもソフトドリンクにし、薬を飲んだかいもあり(?)、船酔いすることなく最後まで楽しめました。
全体を通して、ツアー名通り、海の上で心地よい風を感じながらサンセットと花火鑑賞を楽しむことができ、良い思い出となりました。スタッフの方々は気さくでとても良い方ばかりです。
ただ、それにしても船内の感じや料理の種類等からすると値段が高すぎるかと思います。“家族旅行だから”“せっかくハワイまで行ったから”等の理由を無理やりつけて、この値段で納得するようにしているのが正直なところです。
