Additional Information

Since 1978, we’ve been navigation the waters surrounding Maui, offering our guests thrilling snorkeling adventures, intimate sunset voyages, and more. We’re privileged to have a hand in showcasing our island and its aquatic surroundings; our role as preservers of our indigenous culture is something we bear with utmost respect.

Our ship is the most stable and broadest around the island, promising a relaxing journey for our passengers. We supply first-rate gear, nourishments, beverages, and client service. The Sunset Sail of Alii Nui presents a distinct boating and dining encounter. We raise the sails and pursue the setting sun as it vanishes into the remote skyline above the Pacific Ocean. At sunset, raise a toast as the dramatic coastline of South Maui is enveloped in a display of stunning hues. Our Royal Sunset Sail delivers a generous buffet in the comfortable surroundings of our spacious interior. This relaxed culinary event offers seating within our furnished cabin or on the open expanse of our upper deck.

  • In order to access the vessel, you will need to walk down a pier and step across a gap onto the deck. Crew will be able to assist with the gap.
  • Restrooms are accessible via 2-4 steps down into the cabin and into the restrooms.

The Best Experience on Maui - If anyone is reading this to learn more about the Alii Nui, stop what you’re doing and reserve your spots immediately! From the friendly staff (shoutout Jordan, Joe, Corey, Robert, and Gray) to the delicious food and drinks, the Alii Nui made an otherwise fantastic vacation into the best ever. Any trip to Maui would be incomplete without a voyage on the Alii Nui! So if you’re considering taking a ride on a charter, I would 1000% recommend choosing the Alii Nui.

Absolutely Amazing Experience! - The Alii Nui Royal Sunset Dinner Cruise was simply fantastic! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff was exceptional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options that pleased everyone. The drinks were top-notch and kept flowing smoothly. The boat itself was beautiful, providing stunning views of the sunset and the coastline. It was a truly lovely and memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delightful evening on the waters of Maui!

A++++ service - Our trip with Captain Bree who braved the wind and didn’t cancel like all of our others was perfect. She took us to a cove and anchored for our sunset sail. Sure some would be bothered but it was the perfect balance of comfort, safety and luxury. Logan kept our drinks coming. Robin, Corey and Ryan were A+++ service with our food, drinks and attitude. The catering was spot on. We didn’t see much whale wise and didn’t get to sail long, but we didn’t think we’d go out so it was a perfect night. Bree is so friendly and kind, I truly can’t say I’ve been on a better staffed sunset sail and we’ve been on Trilogy, pac whale, sea Maui, hula girl (close!). This team was the best service we’ve had on the island by far!

Awesome Experience! - When you go on the Alii Nui you can expect a first class experience, and the Thanksgiving sunset cruise was no different The Captain and her crew are first class and ensured you had a safe, and fabulous trip. They do not book the Alii Nui to capacity, so everyone has room to have a very comfortable ride. The Thanksgiving feast was excellent, and the cocktails were amazing and the entire 2.5 hour excursion was awesome.

We loved it! - Staff was friendly and helpful. The boat was awesome! The food was fantastic. We were visiting Maui on our honeymoon and had a great time. The only thing that wasn’t great was the high winds but nothing that could be controlled. The staff did their best to race the winds and get us clear of it… they also provided blankets. Great time!

The best boat experience on Maui - WOW. Just Wow. We are local residents and always choose Ali'i Nui when we have a special occasion to celebrate. It's definitely the best experience on the water on Maui, but they have definitely stepped up their game recently! We went on the Royal Sunset Dinner Sail and from start to finish it was an exquisite experience. There's plenty of seating and tables, lots of crew members who cater to your every need, and the most delicious food and drinks! The bar menu is extensive--they have everything, and it's the good stuff! They served plated appetizers, a main course buffet, and a plated dessert. We got to turn the engine off and sail, and we saw dolphins. It was a beautiful evening and I didn't want it to end. If you are a visitor, their shuttle bus will pick you up and take you home! Highly recommended!!

Loved It! Definitely recommend this for your next trip! - We did the Royal Sunset Sail and it was a great experience. They picked us up from our hotel so we did not have to worry about driving. The crew was very nice and knowledgeable. The boat was the perfect size and not too crowded. Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend.

Ali’I Nui Royal Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail – an incomparable experience! - I need a thesaurus of flattering adjectives to write this review! If I could give this company, this sail, this cruise 10 stars, I would! Simply put, it was a perfect evening, sail, and dinner. Captain Timothy and every member of the crew were impeccable hosts providing gracious, professional, friendly, responsive, and extraordinarily competent service. Every moment of this cruise was impeccably planned and executed. The hors d’oeuvres and dinner menus were varied, fresh, scrumptious, with generous, perfectly prepared servings. The catamaran was just a gorgeous sailing vessel. The patrons were treated like favorite relatives. And a wonderfully beautiful Hawaiian sunset and fabulous moonrise were capped off by a spectacular shooting star just after we had turned to return to the dock – an endorsement from the universe for an incomparable evening communing with nature. This cruise is a must-do for any visit to Maui. Mahalo, Ali’I Nui, for possibly the best vacation memory ever!

Luxury Sunset Sail is average - It might make sense for the snorkel trip to use this company, but the luxury sunset tour isn't a good value. The food and drinks are really only average and there isn't really much to see and do since half the tour on the water is after sunset so it is dark by then. The crew tries hard to please except for one gal that was obviously not happy to be working, They also brought the boat to the dock early so the tour did not last the total 2.5 hours. Overall, the trip was ok but it just isn't worth the high cost of the tour. (We have been on many of the boats around the island to compare.)
