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!

3.00It was ok. We did see a lot of whale activity, it was definitely a party boat so if that’s your goal, you’ll probably enjoy. I have been on several sunset cruises and while we always appreciate the cocktails, I appreciate a vibe that is more island focused with the music and captain engaging some island talk/history. This was definitely how much and how fast do you want to drink and party. This will be attractive to many
Great times on a catamaran

5.00Excellent! Very friendly crew and delicious drinks and snacks. Only thing that would have made it perfect would have been for the sun to be out but we had heavy clouds.
Great sunset sail with lots of whales!

5.00We 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!
Wish it would have lasted longer

4.00It 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.
Was worth it just to hear the live music! Fantastic experience! all around!

5.00Delightful!! 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.
So glad we booked this sunset cruise!

5.00We 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.
