Bear sunset dinner - Upon arrival to end of the trip it was all 5 stars. They went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. We even had a photographer onboard . They took time to chat with guests and explained each meal. Best experience will do it again and again.

Even the Wind Couldn't Stop Us. - We shared a wonderful dinner and experience on the Alii Nui, my daughters and I. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was exceptional considering we were outside on a catamaran in a heavy wind. We were in a somewhat sheltered cove for dinner and I really appreciated the way the captain steered the boat in a circle to everyone had a good view of the water and the sunset.

Adults only dinner cruise! Rock the boat! Excellent Excursion! Uber to Marina so you can have some adult beverages - Captain Josh & First Mate Pedro were FABULOUS!! Boat was beautiful. Great drinks. Okay food. (But lets me honest you’re paying for the atmosphere) Good vibes all around. We were very lucky there were only about 15 other ppl on our trip. Dolphins joined us for part of it. Captain Josh was an excellent DJ. It was cloudy so we didn’t get much of a sunset but we didn’t care bc after all, we are in MAUI!!

Amazing experience - An absolutely fantastic evening from start to finish. The food was outstanding – genuinely restaurant quality and far exceeded our expectations for a dinner cruise. Every course was beautifully prepared and delicious. The cocktails were excellent too, with a great selection and generous pours. The views at sunset were simply breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for the evening. Watching the sun go down along the Maui coastline was unforgettable. A special mention to the crew, who were friendly, attentive and helped create such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The whole experience had an amazing vibe – great food, great drinks, great company and incredible scenery. We would highly recommend the Royal Sunset Dinner Sail to anyone visiting Maui. One of the highlights of our trip and a perfect honeymoon memory.

Cruise to Serenity - We enjoyed a wonderful sunset cruise with dinner. Our ship's captain was Josh, a transplanted Texan who navigated the calm evening waters of the Pacific to perfection. The entire crew was attentive, friendly and accommodating throughout the voyage. Highly recommend this excursion as a nice way to enjoy an evening on the water.

Alii Kai was No Ka Oi...!!!! - We had a wonderful evening, the crew was very helpful and friendly and food was VERY good. I am a tour helicopter pilot on the Islands; this was my first time on Alii Kai and will not be my last and will recommend this trip to others.

Nice cruise and dinner but wines not top-shelf - The catamaran was very luxurious and comfortable. The crew and photographer were hospitable, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. I am fairly well versed on wines and feel the description of top-shelf wines and photos shown were over advertised as the wines were not top-shelf which was disappointing as that was a key factor in deciding which sunset dinner cruise we selected.
