The configuration of the catamaran is great for viewing and picture taking of the Hawaiian Sunset. Enjoy this two hour cruises on the west side of the island which is known for its beautiful sunsets.
Look for Dolphins Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles Humpback Whales [in season], and Flying Fish
Board a sailing catamaran and sail past the immense Makaha Valley and see it in all its glory, peak to shore, in the beautiful late-afternoon lighting. The captains and crew will teach you about Hawaii’s long and storied history of the sea, from fishing, to pioneering surfing, and the Hawaiian art of way-finding
After sunset, gaze at the stars as you return to the harbor, and try to match the constellations to the Hawaiian names on a Hawaiian sky map.

Nice cruise and crew - We were able to see multiple sightings of whales on our trip. Unfortunately this was the only day of our vacation that was not sunny so we did not see a sunset.

Wonderful Experience with a Gracious Crew - Caden and his fellow crew provided a wonderful trip for the small group. They even created a few magical moments for a very special guest onboard who was visiting Oahu as part of a Make-A-Wish Foundation trip.

Highly recommend this sunset cruise!! - Highly recommend!!! The boat was the perfect size to move around and see everything the water, mountains and sunset has to offer but not feel crowded. Got get pictures. All of the deck crew was very inviting, personable,, and very informative. Had a great time!!! Felt like the cruise was made just for me and my family. Have a drink, relax on the catamarans netting up front, take in the sunset and just be in the moment.

Great crew - We wanted a more intimate Sunset cruise and ended up, selecting this trip, leaving out of the West Coast of Oahu about an hour drive from Honolulu where we were staying. Our crew is great, there were only a dozen guests on the boat, the drinks were included, and there was a lovely, small chicken dinner/appetizer. It was not much of a sunset because of the incoming storm but we did see a whale and had a wonderful time.

Beautiful in O’ahu - Great tour. If you’re looking to see an amazing sunset, with knowledgeable staff and a beautiful boat, this is for you. Drinks and food are nice. The cruise is relaxing but exciting as well. Definitely would do it again.
It was listed as a cocktail cruise, as it was, though we took our 18 and 20 year olds, they were included in all conversations and did not feel out of place.

Awesome cruise was highlight of our vacation! - Great way to end our Hawaiian vacation. The captain and crew were awesome! They made sure everyone had a great time. The views were amazing. The food was quite tasty, and they had a good selection of cocktails and local beers! Boarding was fast and easy. Plenty of free parking right there at the dock. Would definitely do this sunset cruise again! Worth every penny.

Lovely Sunset Sail - Crew was great, weather cooperated but Mother Nature came in for a home run with Pygmy killer whales “logging” and a rare treat to see plus entertaining spinner dolphins bow riding, topped off by a glorious sunset. Thank you Jesse, Caden and Sea-anna (best name ever for an ocean loving crew mate!).

Great sunset made better by great crew and company! - Just as important as the scenery and weather is the crew - and the crew was outstanding! Christian led with confidence and good cheer, ensuring every guest was in good care. A big advantage doing this tour from the Waianae Boat Harbor is the quick transit to open water and transitioning from motor to sail. As usual, the sunset was spectacular - and it was a green flash night!

The experience was okay.... - The experience was okay. Of course the beauty - scenic views cruising up the coast AND the sunset - was unrivaled. The crew was okay, only somewhat engaged. When asked about the sea life we were told they were asleep. The food was unexciting and the cocktails were not great.
