Excellent and worth every penny! - What an amazing luxurious catamaran! Crew was amazing and top notch. From beginning to end, the entire experience was superb! Cannot recommend enough! Adult only was perfect. Drinks were rolling. 5 course meal was well timed. Food was to be expected for a boat trip- but worth it! Nothing beats a sunset view from the water. Best sunset we experienced during our entire trip!

How to Have a Great Night - Watching the Ali'i Kai slipping into her berth I was excited about my Royal Sunset Sail, but had no way of knowing how much I would enjoy the entire evening. From the welcome champagne, to the starters right afterwards, and the savory entrees, I felt like a king at sea. The attentive staff made me feel comfortable and was at my beck and call for the entire trip. The water was calm allowing us to go further out to sea to catch the sunset, and then rested there until nightfall. The cruise back to Ma'alaea Harbor under the stars was smooth sailing and the island rhythms continued into the night until we got back. It's a fantastic cruise sailing into the sunset.

We are from Illinois and... - We are from Illinois and recently traveled to Hawaii, seeking once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This excursion was perfect, featuring a one-and-a-half-year old catamaran ride, a fantastic crew, an excellent meal, and a stunning sunset. It was an incredible experience!

Perfect Night - Very swanky experience. Great food, great crew, excellent food and drinks. Onboard photographer (extra fee) took some nice photos of us. The boat was pristine. I would do it again if I return to Maui!

Great crew - nice evening - The view was beautiful- note that you stay in a bay for the entire duration, but there is a lot to see and the view changes drastically as the sun goes down. The boat was clean and well maintained. The food was nice - not amazing, but nice. The best part was that they just brought everything to us. We sat comfortably and enjoyed the ride while the staff ran drinks and brought us our food, course by course. The captain (Bree) was funny and welcoming and the crew were friendly and constantly looking to help.

It was spectacular‼️The five course meal was elegant and delicious; the crew were fabulous; the Catamaran was luxurious, and of course, we had fun and bonded with the other patrons. I highly recommend this sunset dinner cruise.

The food was not amazing, which at the very high price for the evening, would have expected better quality. So sad. - It was just okay and for over $1000 I would have expected a slam dunk on food and service. Food was mediocre at best……………..
