Fantastic is the word that best describes our experience. The crew was very accommodating and the cruise gave us a good overview of Waikiki, Diamond Head and surrounding area. With the limited number of participants we did not get lost in a crowd as you would on the larger cruise ships and it cost much less. Definitely worth the money. This one gets a FIVE STAR.

Maita'i Catamaran is an easy cheap way to enjoy a short sail off the coast of Waikiki. Their location is walkable from just about anywhere in Waikiki (which is only about 1.5 miles from east to west), and my family did a quick 90 minute sail. They allow 0-3 year olds on for free, so for my wife and son and I it was a real bargain.
Most boating trips pad your cost by including free booze (which can make you seasick, or might have disappointingly little effect if you are from higher altitudes), so I was glad to see it sold a la carte here (quite cheaply).
Crew was friendly and approachable, and we got to be on a boat in paradise. They use their motor to get to and from shore efficiently, but most of the time the motor is off and they are just sailing, which is ideal. We saw a dolphin and 2 sea turtles too.
I just feel bad that between making sure my 3-year old got off safely and remembering all of our things I totally forgot to tip them. Hopefully this review will help. Book them now!

This is my second time boarding. It's worth it just to go out to sea at a reasonable price and see the indescribably beautiful cobalt blue ocean. Of course, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from offshore is fantastic. Additionally, it's very convenient to board from the beach next to Sheraton Waikiki Resort.
二回目の乗船になります。リーズナブルな価格で沖へ出て、なんとも表現できないコバルトブルーの美しい海を見るだけでも、十分価値があります。もちろん、沖からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めは最高です。また、シェラトンワイキキリゾート横のビーチから乗船できるのでとても便利です。

The guys running the catamaran were friendly and fun, and the cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing (once you get used to the movement of the boat). Was very easy to chat with other people and make friends on the boat. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I'll absolutely be on the Holokai again! Thanks for a fun time!

This is my eighth trip to Hawaii, but this was my first time using this service. I signed up thinking it would be a light sailing experience, but it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. First, we went out to sea with the engine, and after turning it off, we raised the yacht's canopy and sailed using only the wind. It was surprisingly fast and refreshing. The original cocktail made by the staff was also quite delicious. My colleague who joined me was thrilled, and it has become a tour we will definitely repeat. If I go again next year, I would love to participate.
ハワイ旅行は8回目ですが、今回初めて利用させてもらいました。軽いセーリング気分で申し込んだのですが、想像以上に楽しめました。まずエンジン駆動で沖まで出て、エンジンを切ったあとヨットの幌を上げて風のみで航行するのですが、思った以上にスピード感もあり、爽快です。スタッフさんが作ってくれたオリジナルカクテルも中々おいしかったです。一緒に参加した同僚も感激しており、リピート確定ツアーになりました。また来年行くことがあれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

Viewing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle, the ever-changing colors of the ocean—everything was just the best scenery! The ride was quite bumpy, and while it was fun at first, I started to feel a bit nauseous… I think a shorter duration would be better, but I enjoyed it at a reasonable price, so it was worth it.
いつもと違う角度から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド、どんどん変わっていく海の色、とにかく最高の景色でした!途中揺れが凄くて、初めはそれも楽しかったのですが…少し気持ちが悪くなりました…。もう少し短い時間でもいいかなと思いますが、お手頃な値段で楽しめたのでよかったです。

I experienced this on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Since it was a bit of a half-day, I was unsure what to do, but the weather was really nice when I arrived, so I made a reservation. I booked right after arriving. I received an email saying it was confirmed right away. The meeting place was a little hard to find, but I asked the hotel staff for directions. They explained a lot, but I didn't understand anything. The breeze felt nice. Just be careful about getting sunburned.

We travel a lot and love an afternoon sail. Wednesday's 3pm sail featured mellow 70s music (CCR, Eagles, and that classic plane crash ditty Fire and Rain, along with some 50s tunes). Really? Music that's 40 - 58 years old?
The captains seemed barely engaged in their jobs, chatting with each other about filing their taxes for much of the 90 minute sail.
Though the trades weren't blowing, no effort was made to find enough wind to make it feel like a sail, nor did our crew display any interest in pointing out local landmarks, Hawaiian history and lore, or the flora and fauna.
There were good at hustling the $2 waters and sodas and $10 refillable drinks and reminding us to tip.
Snooze.

I made a reservation based on a recommendation from a local friend. Depending on where you are, the waves can splash, making it feel like an attraction, and I had a great time. The captain is American, and since there are few Japanese participants, you can really experience the international atmosphere.

We booked for 10 people, but there were no other passengers, so it was a private charter. We enjoyed the leisurely flow of time, the bright blue sky, and the emerald sea while sipping cocktails. Additionally, we were thrilled to see a whale spouting about 200 meters away! The cruiser staff were very friendly, but one small disappointment was that the meeting place was different. It was supposed to be at the pier, but when we arrived on time, we found the reception area at the edge of the hotel building.
10名で申し込みましたが、他に乗船する方が無く、貸切でした。ゆったりと流れる時間と真っ青な空、エメラルドので海、カクテルを飲みながら満喫しました。さらに偶然200メートル位先に、クジラの潮吹きが見れ、とても感動しました!
クルーザーのスタッフはとても親切でよかったのですが、少しだけ残念だったのは集合場所が違っていたことです。桟橋との事で時間までに行ったらホテル建物の端に受付スペースが有ってそちらでした。

I arrived in Hawaii and the next day experienced flying a plane. The following day, we chartered a car to explore from land, and while joking with my family about sightseeing from the sky and land, we made a reservation for the sea at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out the reservation was successful. We arrived at the meeting point during the day and boarded the boat. I had prepared for getting completely soaked from the splashes of the waves, but there were no waves at all, just a calm sea, and we saw the tail of a whale a couple of times. The view of Waikiki from the sea is special and worth experiencing. If I had to complain, it would be that the operator took time to line up each group for photos before boarding the boat for their business purposes. The goal was to sell the developed photos when disembarking after the cruise, but I thought they should limit that to only those who wanted it. I didn't like their selfishness and had no intention of buying the photos when getting off.
ハワイに到着し、次の日に飛行機操縦体験をし、その次の日は車をチャーターし陸から、そして家族と冗談で空と陸から観光的たので次は海かという話をしながら夜中予約を入れたが朝起きてみたら予約成功。昼間集合場所に着いて船に乗る。波のしぶきで全身濡れるという体験談を見たのでその覚悟で服を用意し乗り込んだが波が全くなく穏やかな海、鯨の尻尾も二回くらい見えた。海から見るワイキキの景色は特別で体験する価値あり。不満を言えば催行者側が商売のために船に乗る前グループ毎に並ばせて写真撮るのに時間かかったこと。クルーズが終わって降りる際に現像した写真を売るのが目的だがそんなもの希望する人だけに絞ればいいのにと思った。その彼らの自分勝手が気にいらず降りる時その写真を買う気なんかしなかった。

I saw a feature on Hawaii on TV that introduced this tour, and I really wanted to participate, so I signed up. All the staff are locals, and they only speak English. It might be nice to view Waikiki from the ocean, but it was a bit different from what was shown on TV, which was disappointing. If you're looking to enjoy a sense of activity, other sailing tours might be better.

The sailing tour was my first experience, and it was incredibly refreshing. Lying on the net and listening to the sound of the waves made me feel like my whole body was being purified. I only nibbled on snacks and selected drinks, but I hardly touched them because I was so absorbed in sailing. If you get tired from shopping, taking this sailing tour could be a great way to refresh yourself, which is a typical way to enjoy Hawaii.

We used it with our family, including a first grader and older children, in late December.
It was around the time when whale watching starts, and we considered a boat cruise, but thought it might be boring if we didn't see any whales, so we opted for a yacht, which turned out to be a good choice. It didn't sway much, and instead, it was refreshing to feel the thrill of the waves. However, my younger child seemed a bit scared at first from the rocking, so while it wasn't dangerous, it might have been a bit too early for them.
The cruise lasted an hour and a half, going around the other side of Diamond Head. On the way there, we felt excited, and on the way back, we were a bit more calm. Opinions might differ on whether it was worth the price, but I felt like I experienced Hawaii, and I was happy with it. As many have mentioned, I had been interested in beach yachts for a while, and even though the programs are different, it would cost two to three times more in Japan's Shonan.
By the way, it was fully booked with about 40 people, but our family was the only Japanese. I didn't understand much English, but since it was just about feeling the waves and the wind, language didn't really matter.
小1と高学年の子供と家族で、12月下旬に利用。
クジラが始まる頃で、船クルーズも考えたけど、見えなかったらツマラナイと思い、ヨットにしたけど良かったです。
そんなに揺れないし、むしろ波を感じる疾走感で爽快だったけど、下の子が、最初は波に揺られているのが怖い様子だったので、危険はないけど、ちょっと早かったかな。
ダイアモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込む一時間半のクルーズ。行きは気分が高揚、帰りは少し冷静にという感じなので、高い・安いは、ギリギリ意見が別れるかも知れないけど、ハワイ体験した気分になり、僕は良かったです。
みんなが書いている通り、前々からビーチのヨットが気になっていたし、日本の湘南だとプログラムは違えど、2~3倍はかかるし。
なお、約40人の満員でしたが、日本人は我が家族のみ。英語は余り分からなかったけど、波を感じ風を感じるだけなので、言葉は関係ないですもんね。

From beginning to end the whole experience was effortless and well worth every penny. We are actually making it a tradition every time we go to Hawaii.

Boarding on the beach side of the Sheraton Waikiki. The waves were a bit rough, so my clothes got wet, but they dried quickly. As we moved away, the tall hotels of Waikiki became smaller, and as soon as we passed Diamond Head and entered the open sea, the waves got higher, creating an exhilarating thrill as the waves splashed onto the boat. Once we were in the open sea, the wind picked up and the waves became higher, so please participate in clothing that can get wet.
