5 star trip - We have gone out on Ali Nui and Ali Kai. Both are very nice sunset sales. The Ali Kai is a nice step up with a 5 course meal that is service to you. A very nice meal. Our kids always love to go out on it when they come to visit. We also got to see several whales. Great meal, drinks, service, sunset and whales!

Sunset Cruise - The boat is absolutely beautiful and extremely well taken care of. The crew obviously takes pride in themselves and taking care of their clients. The food was really good but the portions were a bit skimpy for those who eat a lot. It was fine for me I had the surfing turf which was a white fish and meat which was prepared like a brisket. Both are really good.

Delightful Maui catamaran sunset sail! - Absolutely wonderful. Great service, good food, lots of whale activity and calm seas and sunset. Would highly recommend. We rarely asked for anything the drinks and meal service were perfectly timed all we had to do is enjoy the drinks and delicious food.

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.

Could Be Amazing - Valentines Sunset Sail: The boat was lovely. The Captain and crew couldn’t have been nicer. Drinks were generous and the evening was lovely. I gave 4 starts because 1. When I paid over the phone I was surprised the total was significantly more than the listed price. I asked what was going on and was told it was for Valentine’s Day but would include many extras like live music and tokens to remember our trip by given out on board. (Spoiler: there weren’t any). 2. There were no “extras” on board that I could find. 3. Music was a young kid downstairs (we were up top) playing modern guitar riffs and collecting Venmo toward buying his first car, so zero added cost to the ship the either. (He was pretty good!) 4. There was a photographer on board who did a nice job but the pics were also not included. So, nice evening but the surprise price increase seems out of place. They also couldn’t fit us into the complimentary van so we paid for an Uber both directions on top. Food was fine. Not notable. Nice evening but temper expectations.

Don’t trust! Took our money and ran!!! - Left early without warning and left us standing on the dock. Wouldn’t answer calls or texts and still refusing to return any attempts to communicate. Refusing to refund our tickets since they left early without informing us. Biggest waste of $500 I’ve ever spent.
