Wonderful Personal Experience! - We LOVED our experience, it was everything we hoped for. John and Walker were excellent. They were so engaging with us and our son with autism, who can take some time to warm up. We chose this boat because it was for small groups, large groups overwhelm our son. It was perfect! We had the most amazing view of the sunset and relaxed the evening away. Our sons favorite part was fishing with Walker and going fast! We really had a great time. This felt very personal unlike other tours where you are just one of many. HIGHLY recommend!!! Thanks guys!

Book this now!!! - It’s hard to pick out a single “best” experience in Maui, because it’s such a special place. But if I had to pick one, it would be this cruise. This was truly one of the best vacation experiences we’ve ever had from start to finish. We were lucky enough to be captained by Spencer and Ben, whose knowledge and expertise were only matched by their charisma. They were beyond accommodating, navigating us through a whirlwind of amazing views during our time and ensuring we had the most special experience possible. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars, because it’s what it deserves. If you’re looking for a single nautical adventure in Maui to make your vacation the best it can be, this is the one!!

Must do!! Worth every penny! - Must do this sunset tour. Beautiful boat and very comfortable. Captain and Co-captain were all around amazing. Connected my playlist to the very nice boat sound system, and jammed our way around the waters. Will do again next time we visit.

Escape the crowds & cruise in luxury - My husband found this tour by accident and what a great find! We started our 10 day stay in Maui with this Sunset Cruise. It was so fabulous that we decided to do it again on our last night. What better way to say goodbye to a beautiful island. Our first trip out was with Captain Gray and Gabriel. We checked in at the general store. Here we were given credit for food & drink. Captain Gray met us at The Maalaea General Store & took us to the boat where we were introduced to Gabriel. The 42ft Boston Whaler is a clean, comfortable & spacious boat. We happen to be the only ones on the cruise that evening. Even if they had full capacity of 6 people (plus crew), there was plenty of room to move about and sit comfortably. It was so refreshing to be away from crowds and enjoy time on the water. We were offered non alcoholic beverages and chips. We enjoyed conversation with Captain Gray & Gabriel as they tried to seek out whales for us. Gabriel was very knowledgeable about the whales and shared a lot of good information with us. It was a beautiful evening. On our last night in Maui we took another sunset cruise on the Amore. Spence was our captain for the evening and we were happy to see that Gabriel was on the cruise again with us. This time we drove up along the shoreline. Captain Spence talked about the area & gave us information about the land. He was very knowledgable & passionate about the island. Captain Spence & Gabriel also made it their mission to see the whales (Thank you to both of you!). The whales were very active this evening (it is whale season). At one point, we were surrounded by whales! We weren’t sure where to look. A mom & her calf came right to the boat and swam below. Whales were breaching in the distance and one was slapping their tail. We were all so busy watching the whales we almost forgot to look at the amazing sun setting. Captain Spence & Gabriel made sure we didn’t miss that. It was just beautiful. The winds had picked up & it was a little choppy. Though, it wasn’t a problem with Captain Spence "at the helm" of this Boston Whaler. The Amore handled the choppy water like a dream. We had some spray on us a couple times as we headed back in. They gave us towels and made sure we were positioned safely on the boat as we continued to take photos. They truly provide top notch, professional service. If you are in Maui, you won't want to miss this opportunity. Spoil yourself & cruise aboard the Amore for a beautiful Maui sunset!

Sunset cruise - Crew was very friendly and made sure to chat with everyone. Because of late sunset, we turned back before sunset.

Peaceful evening cruise with a stunning sunset - We booked a second trip with Hawaii Nautical this past week in Maui. This trip was a sunset cruise. The sunset was amazing with individualized attention from the crew. It was a bit windy and chilly so make sure to bring a jacket or sweatshirt. Mostly, we idled or drifted so this is not a fast moving trip. This cruise is definitely for those who enjoy the boating experience, not the party experience. The sunset views of the coast of Maui and neighboring islands were beautiful. Worth the trip!! Make sure you bring those appetizers and cocktails as they a not provided but soda/water is available.

Great crew and amazing boat - The crew and boat were both top notch. We had great conversations and amazing views. Definitely one of the nicer boats I’ve been on. Zane and team shared a lot of knowledge about the surrounding areas, which was great. Mainly just have two critiques. I understand everything is more expensive in Hawaii, but for the price per person I wish we could have had at least 3-4 hours. Also, we were really looking forward to getting close to the crater but couldn’t because they do not have a permit yet.
