Outstanding evening and worth the price!!!!!! - This was a stand out experience on our Maui vacation! Beautiful boat, friendly crew, excellent experience. Full bar with nice selection of high-end wine. Full meal is also served. We saw dolphins and Wales along the boat that the crew slowed down and let us watch.. The service on the boat was excellent and they were incredibly friendly and attentive. Staff to clientele ratio was great! We had about 20 people on board with about 8 staff. It felt really spacious and each guest had their own space to relax in. Sitting on the boat is on a first come first serve basis so try to arrive right at 4:45 if you care where you sit. The seat you get when you get there are your seats for the night where are you eat and drink, etc. We got some really nice loungers . We even had a professional photographer on board to take pictures. Overall, it was romantic, relaxing, and a very memorable experience!

The Best Sunset/Dinner cruise we have ever been on! - What a wonderful time we had on the beautiful, brand new elegant
Alii Nui catamaran! The food, wine, the excellent service was stellar! The best sunset/dinner cruise we have ever taken. The stunning and relaxing views were amazing, it was a plus that we had calm water too. We even saw a few whales. I'd give you all 6 stars if that was an option! We'll do it again!

Incredible Boat Tour in Maui - This company and crew were so fabulous and incredibly accommodating for us! We got stuck in terrible traffic due to the road closures and they helped us get on another cruise and were so helpful in ensuring we had an incredible experience! Captain Ryan personally reached out to make sure we had what we needed, and the whole crew did everything they could to ensure all the patrons were having a great time! As a huge plus, we also got to see a baby whale slap the water with their tail fin and see the mom breach the water. Would highly recommend this trip and this crew and this company! 10/10

Wonderful Sunset cruise - This was one of the best Sunset/Dinner cruise's we have ever taken. The boat is brand new and they offer top shelf drink options. Most of the dinner cruise trips offer mediocre options for food and drinks but this cruise really did a good job with both. They had seafood and steak. I think they should add a vegetarian option but other than that we had no complaints. The drinks were also much better than we have experienced on other charters. We were also lucky enough to have whales everywhere. This cruise is on the higher price but probably worth it if you want a luxury experience.

Unforgettable Maui Experience - Outgoing friendly crew comfortable seating and food and drink was top tier. My fillet and scampi was superb and ask for the “sailor’s ale”.

A Must-Do Experience While on Maui - If you find yourself on the beautiful island of Maui, do not miss the opportunity to sail with Ali’i Nui’s Royal Sunset Dinner Sail aboard the Ali’i Kai. From the mesmerizing views to the exquisite cuisine and the phenomenal service, this experience has it all. It's perfect for a romantic evening, a special celebration, or simply a night out with friends or family.
As we returned to the harbor with hearts full and smiles wide, we realized that the memories created that evening would last a lifetime. Ali’i Nui truly understands the essence of hospitality, and their Royal Sunset Dinner Sail is a shining example of their commitment to excellence. Highly recommend! A+++

Best Catamaran Sunset Cruise – A Must-Do! - If you’re shopping around for a catamaran sunset dinner cruise, stop now—you won’t find better! This boat is new, spacious, and impeccably clean. The food was delicious, and we got the most stunning photos with the sunset. The open bar was a fantastic bonus, and the service was exceptional. We even got to try some new things that we absolutely loved. This experience went far beyond our expectations, and we’ll definitely be back. Unlike other crowded boats we saw, this one had plenty of space, and the atmosphere was perfect.
The captain and his crew were AMAZING. I cannot stress this enough. They made the entire experience so enjoyable and relaxing.
Highly recommend!

Not a luxury experience - we felt like suckers - We did the New Year’s Eve cruise with the fireworks. It was labeled as a luxury experience which it definitely was not. I tried to call all 5 different numbers they have in their booking confirmation and the numbers referenced in those automatic voicemail messages just to get a better idea of how much food is onboard and if we should go to dinner before. I left 3 voicemails and never heard back. The fireworks lasted maybe 3 minutes of the 3.5 hours that we were on the boat and they were pretty underwhelming when they did finally happen. The rest of the time on the boat was pretty boring. There was no countdown or anything. The small selection of food was stale and the drinks were bland (at least the non-alcoholic ones). When they brought around a dessert tray, we had a good laugh about how they told us they were exotic “Russian Tea Cakes.” They were definitely doughnut holes from Costco. 😂 We also were prevented from visiting the top deck because I guess $400 per person wasn’t a high enough price to earn that privilege. We left feeling like suckers for paying such a high price for such a lackluster experience. But the crew was friendly and cool and I heard from another passenger onboard that their regular, day-to-day experiences are a little better planned. That said though, I don’t think we’ll be paying this company again for any more excursions when we come back to Maui and based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either.
