Incredible Experience - We have been on a number of Hawaiian sunset cruises, this however far exceeded our expectations and previous experiences. The ship and crew were excellent. Customer service & safety were clearly paramount. Surprisingly the food was very good. Whale watching was excellent as well.
I recommend Sea Maui without reservation!

Was worth it just to hear the live music! Fantastic experience! all around! - Delightful!!
The highlight for me was the live music! What an incredibly talented and vibrant musician! Timothy McDill played originals as well as covers, and every single song was amazing. He kept the vibes fun and upbeat, and rocked every single song. Great playlist to go with the sunset cruise. Some people were even dancing, though space was limited! : )
Captain Carrie (sp?) was wonderful and fun. The crew were charming and great. How they kept everyone's glass filled and gathered the empties, etc., on a moving boat was beyond me. It was a classy crew.
And the whales! What a joy to see them!
The whole experience was perfect.

Incredible experience - We booked this just hoping for a night out on the water and went in with low expectations. It turned into a major highlight of our trip. We were right up close with whales, the service was fantastic, and it was an incredible night out. Highly recommend! The staff were outstanding, fun, engaging, and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of.

Gorgeous Sunset Cruise - This sunset catamaran cruise was absolutely magical and one of the highlights of our time in Maui. From the moment we checked in we knew it was going to be a great time. Jim made the check in process easy and the pre board instructions interactive and fun. Onboard the crew: Travis, Jenni, and Mario were welcoming and incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time! The sunset view was gorgeous and the seeing the whales was absolutely magically. Not to mention all the delicious drink and appetizer options! We had such a great time we booked a second excursion with Sea Maui for later on this trip. Highly highly recommend!

Wish it would have lasted longer - It was a great experience. Food was good and crew members were nice, welcoming and accommodating. Music, ie... Tim Mcdill was fantastic! Wish the waters would have been calmer.
