Maui: Original Sunset Cruise with Open Bar from Ka’anapali Beach
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Part of the reason Maui has been so popular year after year is due to the breathtaking sunsets. Sure you could just watch from the beach or your hotel lanai, but a front row seat out on the water, sipping some cocktails, enjoying some awesome pupus (appetizers) and hanging with fun people sounds more appealing. Whale watching is included from Dec 15th - April 15th!

🌅 Unforgettable Sunset Whale Cruise on the Sea Maui Catamaran

5.00Our family had the most amazing evening aboard the Sea Maui Catamaran. From the moment we stepped on, the crew made us feel welcome and relaxed. The open bar was fantastic, with plenty of refreshing options to enjoy as we sailed, and the food was absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and plentiful for everyone. The highlight, of course, was the breathtaking sunset over the ocean, paired with the thrill of spotting whales right from the deck. It was such a magical experience to watch these incredible animals while surrounded by Maui’s stunning scenery. The atmosphere was fun yet laid-back, making it ideal for families. Everything—from the attentive staff to the well-kept catamaran—showed the care and effort put into creating a memorable cruise. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend this sunset whale cruise for anyone visiting Maui. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and island hospitality!
Sea Maui is the absolute Best!

3.00No sunset as the boat did not go around the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Choppy sea made for little sightseeing but the crew were very nice and attentive. You will get wet boarding and getting off the boat as it is beach boarding, not a dock or pier. Cocktails and snacks were okay and plentiful.
