Highly recommend! - This was a highlight of our trip for sure, we would definitely recommend! The food was great and we loved the drinks. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. The boat wasn’t packed so it felt private but we could chat with others if we wanted. We would love to try the other tours they offer for our next trip!

Fantastic all the way - I am happy to write a review for Alii Nui. Three of us went on their Royal Sunset Dinner Sail and all of us enjoyed the beauty of the cruise and the hospitality from all the staff. Sunset was amazing. Their boat was in pristine condition. Don't hesitate to use this company. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful experience and... - Wonderful experience and delicious food! We went on June 10, 2025, and it was the first day for their new menu. I really didn't expect to have good food - I was going more for the view. However, I loved all the dishes. My husband joked with me that he'd never seen me eat so fast! The boat was new and very nice. Lots of seating options. The sunset was incredible, and we got some really good pictures. The whole crew was friendly. I would absolutely do this again.

Awesome Cruise/Crew - The cruise was awesome and the crew was very attentive to us and all the passengers. I strongly recommend this cruise over others. This cruise is a little more priced but 100% worth every penny!!

Perfect end of trip cruise - We did the dinner cruise in June 2025 on our last night in Maui and it was a great capper to the trip. Marina is easy to find, boat is clean and well setup and the crew was very fun and attentive. We did the upgrade to the upper deck experience and never once questioned if the extra $ was worth it. The food quality was great, much grilled right on board. We didn't end up going under sail as the captain working with some peers spotted a couple of whales and given the rarity this time of year, went on a whale hunt, and we got some great views that really made the cruise special. We got the on-board photo package and got some amazing high-res pix of the family and the dolphins, whales and sunset in the mix. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Cruise and Delicious Food - Wonderful sunset dinner cruise - the food was delicious and the drinks were excellent. The jackfruit cakes were so good and the surf and turf was top notch. The crew was so nice and Ryan the captain genuinely wanted people to have a good time. He was so sweet- even in the middle of the sail - he would help guests out with drinks, pictures, or whatever you needed. They had a lovely on boat photographer Angel who did a great job capturing both posed and candid shots. A couple other reviews complained of the wind. Honestly, we did a couple sails out of Makeena Harbor and it’s always windy so this is just a given condition of that area. We still had a great time - I just put my hair up and my husband took his hat off and it was all fine. Every single ship will face the same issue so you might as well pick the one with the best food and crew, which is Ali’I Nui!

Windy! Great staff! - The boat was clean, comfortable and good music. The music was not too loud and fun. The staff were all great! and food was good. The only real thing to be aware of is the intense wind. It kind of ruins everything and the way back we had to go inside.
