We had perfect weather, perfect water conditions and a fantastic captain and crew. We were honored to sail out of Lahaina and see the slow but sure progress of restoration. The parking and meetup was so easy and convenient. Although late in the season, we saw a few whales on the outbound trip to Lanai, which is always exciting. The captain found a spot near Lanai that had a nice reef and lots of fish. The second stop focused on turtles, and there were many. After hoisting the sails, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and drinks. The food was plentiful and excellent, especially the warm cookies. Generous offerings of cocktails including Mai Tai and Margaritas, in addition beer and wine or non alcoholic options like pineapple juice and POG. We liked the length of this trip and the reasonable hour of departure. This is our second trip with Sail Maui and we highly recommend them.

We have been taking trips on Sail Maui's boats most every year since 2010. What impressed me the most over the years, including this year, were the unfailingly polite, professional and helpful crews we had each and every time. The food is top-notch as well. On our latest trip this year they served croissants, muffins and orange slices when we set sail, soft drinks, juice and coffee anytime and a very nice hot lunch. This year our trip was to the other side of Lanai, where there was beautiful, clear water and abundant sea life. I would recommend all the other trips as well. Can't wait to sail with them again next year!

Beautiful day on the water, the snorkel spot off the coast of Lanai was excellent. Tons of fish and live coral with clear water! The crew was friendly and very knowledgeable. Great trip!

This was an excellent Maui snorkel tour. The Maui Sail captain was very knowledgeable on locations of good snorkeling near Lanai. We snorkeled two spots, both of which were fantastic! The crew was very good too. Enjoyed the food and after snorkel Maui Tai. I will go out with them again!

Despite some rainy weather the days before, we made it over to lanai and all the way to shark fin cove. They found an amazing snorkeling spot that was clear and calm enough to snorkel in. In addition the ride there and back was amazing. We saw whales, ate great food, and the staff took care of everyone! Was much better than the bigger boats I’ve taken over to Molokini!

The video required to watch was so great to educate about the history and the intention of starting tourism back in Lahaina. The trip was amazing! The staff was so nice and great guides, food was yummy and great environment. It was whale season when we came so saw a whale or two and lots of dolphins. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Blessings

The staff was absolutely incredible—so pleasant, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable about everything from the marine life to the best spots along the water. From the moment we stepped on board, it felt like we were in great hands. The day was perfectly paced and packed with fun—starting with a relaxing sail as we set out to watch whales, which was such an unforgettable experience. In between sightings, we were treated to amazing food (and plenty of it!), followed by our first snorkeling stop where the water was crystal clear and full of marine life. Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, we were back on board enjoying more delicious food and drinks before heading out to another beautiful snorkeling spot. Every transition—from sailing to snorkeling to whale watching—felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. The crew kept the energy up the entire time, making sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and well taken care of. And yes—there was always more food coming, which honestly became part of the experience in the best way. We wrapped up the trip with another scenic sail, scanning the horizon for whales again, soaking in the views, and enjoying the ocean breeze. Between the outstanding service, the quality of the experience, the incredible food and drinks, and the sheer variety of activities packed into just half a day, this trip completely exceeded expectations. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, fun, and relaxing adventure out on the water—you will not be disappointed.

The crew was amazing! Captain Kevin, Jess, James, and Bryce were helpful, fun, and engaging. We found a ginormous pod of dolphins and even saw the last of the whales. Do this trip!!!
