Nice sunset cruise - Actually it was last Feb. (2023) We go to Honolulu every Jan or Feb but hadn't been on a sunset catamaran trip so I really wanted to do one this visit. We had a good time going out along the Waikiki Beach on the catamaran. The sunset was perfect that night. We enjoyed the water and the other participants. Best of all the departure location is near our condo so we could walk over to the location.

Easy chill sail - Chill sail with super nice captain and first mate. They were welcoming and made the experience fun and easy. Cooler for our beverages, took pictures for us. Beautiful views even on a somewhat cloudy day. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Tour! - Relaxing trip. Went all the way to the other side of Diamond Head. Actually saw whales! Saw a most beautiful sunset. Captain Jenna and crew member Asher were super professional. I don’t normally love boats or being on the water and this was extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend!

The best sunset view we had in 9 days on Oahu. - It was a lovely walk along the beach to the boarding point from Kaimana Beach Hotel where we are staying. Directions to find the boat were clear and helpful, although we didn’t realize we would need to take off our walking shoes to board. I have some physical limitations, but the excellent crew gave me the help I needed to climb the ladder to get on and off the boat. You can bring your own drinks and food, rather than paying fir them as part of the cruise, which we liked. There was an opportunity to swim, and you can ride in the net if you want to get wet, or sit elsewhere and stay dry. Captain Jenna was so helpful, as was the rest of the crew. She told several fascinating stories about her time aboard. It was so interesting to talk to the other passengers and crew too. I was concerned about seasickness as the boat is small, but the catamaran ride was smooth. Best of all was the beautiful scenery. Great views in every direction, including Diamond Head, our hotel, and the ocean. Best of all was the sunset. We landed with enough time to get a great view of the Friday night fireworks while eating dinner. There is also a fireworks cruise, which would be a nice compliment to the sunset cruise.

Awesome experience - Wonderful crew! You can enjoy your time as if ocean is all yours. You can also swim in the middle if you want.

Rude - Rude and confrontational skipper. Bordering aggressive disdain for tourists but great with kids? I would support a different local company if given the option.
