Captain Tony was simply outstanding! From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. He has a fascinating background and many years of experience, which really shine through in theway he runs his tours. We had our grandson with us, and Captain Tony immediately made a connection with him—clearly explaining that on his boat, he’s the “boss.” He showed us our seating options and went over safety instructions before we got underway, making sure everyone felt comfortable. Once we were out on the water, the sail was raised and off we went. We were treated to two beautiful rainbows arching over the mountains and could even see where it was raining in the valley. As the sun began to set, the glow reflecting off the water and the Waikiki shoreline was absolutely stunning. It’s very evident that Captain Tony loves where he lives. He shared many lesser-known spots around the island that give visitors a more unique perspective of Oahu. He also offered excellent restaurant recommendations— we went to Nico’s Pier 38 based on his suggestion, and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. If you’re looking for a personable, knowledgeable captain and an unforgettable sailing experience, look no further than Captain Tony!

We had a great experience with Captain Tony. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The smaller, intimate sailing was just what we were looking for whilst on our honeymoon and we ended up sailing as the only passengers. The pictures don’t do the sunset justice, it was incredible to see from the boat. At the end, Tony provided multiple suggestions of how to best explore the island and places to visit, including a car rental and scenic route recommendation. This also includes his small group turtle snorkelling excursion which we have reviewed separately.

Girls trip - The night before we left we booked this sunset sail. We were so glad we did. It was just the 3 of us as the other couple cancelled. Captain Tony was personable and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed sitting on the front of the sailboat as we headed towards Diamond Head. It was a gorgeous night. Other party boats were out and they were crowded and very noisy. If that’s your vibe this is not the sail for you. If you want a quiet, relaxing, zen sail then don’t hesitate to book this. It is well worth it. As we turned around and headed back we were able to watch the colorful sunset and moved to the back of the boat where Captain Tony talked about the landscape and Hawaii itself to us. This is a must if you love the ocean and watching sunsets.

Tony knows the seas and the ropes as well. Had a wonderful time riding and talking. Gave us several recommendations for our remaining days on the island. The time went by to quickly. Thanks again Captain Tony.

Been on the larger boats for a sunset cruise but this was much more intimate and peaceful. Captain Tony was absolutely amazing. Accommodating, helpful, responsive. Thank you, Tony!

We were able to book this cruise on short notice and it ended up being a great decision. With a maximum of six passengers, we weren’t fighting for space or a seat or a view. This was in stark contrast to the numerous boats we saw underway that had dozens of people on them fighting to get the best view. I don’t know if he drinks dose of keys, but Captain Tony would certainly be in the running for one of the most interesting men in the world. In addition to a comprehensive knowledge of Hawaii, he had stories from his travels and adventures around the world to share with the boat. It was a great cruise and we book it again in a heartbeat.
