As a first time taking a cruise if this type.not was a great way to start the new year. My fiancé and I enjoyed the hospitality. The food was restaurant quality. The BYOB policy was also fun. We brought champagne. The views were immaculate. The staff was eager to take as many pictures of us as we would like. Very professional. Clean vessel. One of a kind.

My husband and I booked this dinner cruise on a whim. We are SO glad we did! We were immediately greeted by the incredibly friendly crew and then went to the top of the boat and took a seat. It was absolutely beautiful outside and the ambiance of the boat was perfect for honeymooners. There is new owners who just purchased this boat and have revamped everything, so it is freshly painted and has beautiful lighting all throughout.
It is BYOB, so make sure to bring your favorite beer, wine, or liquor. The bartender, Savannah, has your basic things like soda, orange juice, and pineapple juice, so she was able to mix us up a fruity cocktail with the liquor we brought.
We had such an amazing time. They served short ribs, mashed potatoes, and veggies. It was SO good! So flavorful and I am not much of a short ribs kind of person. My husband and I mainly hung out at the bar with Savannah and Kimberly and we had SO much fun! They told us about all the local spots to hit up and we just talked and laughed all night long.
The captain of the boat (I wish I could remember his name!) was SO wonderful! He was such a nice man and you can tell he has worked hard on making sure this boat is a great experience for everyone.
They were hosting a booze-cruise after our dinner cruise and we wanted to go so bad, but we drove to the marina and weren't sure how we would have gotten back to our hotel if we joined haha! Wish we could have though!

Not only were the views beautiful, but the staff was all accommodating and extremely personable! The three course meal was amazing and timed perfectly. I have done other sunset cruises out of Waikiki and this one was by far the most enjoyable and relaxing. We also saw 4 whales on the cruise!
I give this cruise & it’s crew a 6/6!

We went on our cruise last night and it was wonderful despite the fact that I got seasick. My husband and kids absolutely loved it. I was unable to eat my food but again, my hubby and kids said the food was amazing. The fish and short ribs were superb to them.
I regret not buying motion sickness meds. If you think you will get sick,please take meds a day prior and about 2 hours prior to your cruise. Now, about the staff. They are uhhmazinggg. They are very attentive and sweet. Make sure you have cash to tip them very good. Also, you need cash for the photographer if u want to buy your pictures.
It was nice meeting you folks, glad you had a good time.

I went on Prince Kuhio with friends and it was such a nice way to spend our Friday evening. It's the only dinner cruise that is open right now, and we were so happy with everything: service, dinner, boat. The overall vibe was friendly and chill, the crew was so nice, and dinner was served hot and had good portions. Also the generous slice of cheesecake was really good! They have a cute tiki onboard where you can order whatever you'd like. Only thing I'd recommend is to bring sea-sickness preventatives! I get seasick very easily so I made sure to take dramamine prior to the cruise and I am so thankful. We went on a day when the water was pretty rough and there was a lot of swell and although it was hard to walk around the deck, I didn't get seasick. I was very impressed with this dinner cruise and it's a great option if you want a change of scenery!
Glad you enjoyed the trip and the meal we enjoyed having you aboard.

We kept searching for dinner cruises that were open with COVID. We found this one and we were so glad that we did. It was awesome. The mai tai was excellent and the food was delicious. The owner of the boat was very friendly. The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. We would very much recommend taking this cruise if you get the chance. We even sighted a whale even though it was way too early in the season.
Thank you for the nice review, it was nice meeting you folks. And the whales sighting this early I am still talking about it was awesome.

We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise! The Prince Kuhio is perfect for just sitting back with a good drink, relaxing, and taking in the views. I liked the choice of music; it really enhanced the aloha ambiance.
The servers were exceptionally attentive and friendly, they also doubled as the post-sunset entertainment--very impressive.
The water was a little choppy when we first got underway, but I like the feeling of riding over the waves. If you're prone to seasickness I would highly recommend going with the Prince Kuhio rather than a catamaran as the larger boat gives you a smoother ride.
If you're a sucker for imitating famous movie scenes, the Prince Kuhio is the best boat in Waikiki for reenacting the Titanic "I'm flying" scene where Jack and Rose stand on the bow of the ship. And the friendly crew were very obliging and took the picture for us.
Five stars for sure!
Love the movie scene comment, would like to say you are the only ones to do that BUT!!! Glad you enjoyed the trip

We had a great time on this sunset dinner cruise. The Steak and Shrimp were very good and the drinks were cheap. They also have a vegetarian option available if requested ahead of time. The staff were friendly and put on a little hula/firedancing show which was pretty entertaining. The boat itself was nice, I wouldn't call it luxurious, but nice. Swells weren't very big out there but the boat does rock pretty good so prepare ahead of time if you are prone to sea sickness. If you haven't seen Waikiki/Diamond Head from the water then you must check out the beautiful views. Overall nice cruise, nice views, nice sunset.
Glad you had a good time,

I participated in my first sunset dinner sailing. The meeting place is quite small, so you might overlook it... Be careful not to arrive too early, as there won't be any staff present before the meeting time. Since the maximum number of passengers is limited, I recommend making a reservation early. It's a sunset cruise, so you can see the romantic views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea. The boat also raises its sails, so there’s no engine noise, allowing for a smooth drift over the water, leading to the evening fireworks.
初めてのサンセット・ディナーセーリングに参加。
集合場所はとてもこじんまりした所なので見落としちゃうかも・・・集合時間よりあまり早めに行くと係員が居ないので注意です。
最高乗船人数が少ないので早めの予約がオススメ。
サンセットクルーズなので夕暮れのダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを海側から見れてロマンチック。船も帆を立てるのでエンジン音もなく、スムーズに海を漂い、夜の花火へ

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.
The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.
It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.
Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!
船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人 あとは海外からのカップル 家族でした。 船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。 ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

The fireworks on Fridays do fill up fast, we are now doing a prime rib dinner on fridays should you ever make it back.

The crew and captain were amazing not only we they extremely kind but the captain got us an Uber to the hospital. They also bagged up my dinner which we accidentally forgot in the Uber but it smelled delicious. The people on that ship are truly good people and I won’t forget their kindness!

I had seen the Friday fireworks from Waikiki Beach several times, but when I found "Sailing," I thought, this is it!! There were about 50 people on board, and only four of us were Japanese, but it was reassuring to have Japanese language support. I was impressed by the hospitality of Captain Matthew and the staff, including Masa. There were plenty of drinks and a buffet, which made me very satisfied. The pleasant sea breeze and the fireworks in the night sky of Waikiki created wonderful memories. I highly recommend it to everyone!
ワイキキビーチからの金曜日花火は、何度か観ていたのですが「セーリング」を見つけてこれだ!!と。
満席(約50名)の中、日本人は4人でしたが日本語でも安心。マシュー船長はじめ、マサさん他スタッフのホスピタリティに感激。
飲み物、ビュッフェもたっぷりあって満足。心地よい潮風とワイキキの夜空の花火は、良い思い出になりました。みなさんも是非!
