Friendly staff. We were...

Friendly staff. We were able to see some whales breach the ocean. It rained on our trip, but the experience was great. No sunset due to overcast sky.

Operator response

Mahalo for your review! Sorry the weather was a bit rainy but we are still glad you had the chance to join us and be on the water. Please join us again soon and hopefully it will be a non overcast day. Aloha!

Superb sunset sail…with WHALES!!

Brandon, AJ, Jenn and newbie Nate were fantastic (Hammah!) We sailed back with a pod of whales. We were the only boat that took the time to put up the sails. So much fun. Was the best trip for us!

Operator response

Mahalo for your review! So glad you enjoyed the sails going up and your time with us on the water. Hope to see you soon!

Memorable Experience!

We've been vacationing in Maui for a number of years. Our evening sail aboard the Akialoa on Feb 18 was by far the BEST Sunset Sail we've ever had . The crew raised the jib as soon as we were out of the marina and lowered it when the wind picked up so the captain could better take us in search of whales while we enjoyed the delicious food and beverage the friendly and helpful crew offered The captain not only found a # of whales for us to watch but also welcomed young children to the helm to make their experience aboard even more special. We'll absolutely book a sunset sail on Sail Maui our next vacation.

Operator response

Mahalo for sharing your experience and thank you for your kind words! We love to hear that you had such a great time with us. Glad you enjoyed our captain and crew, we are thankful for the team that we have. Hope to see you next time :-)

Unforgettable Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Sail Maui is a top notch Catamaran cruise. They are one of the only companies that raise the sails on most trips. The crew provide refreshments and are always attentive to all passengers, young or old. We try to go out at least twice every time we are in Maui.

Operator response

Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a good time with us on your sunset sail. We love to raise our sails and are glad you enjoy that as well! Mahalo for joining us so many times on the water, and we look forward to you coming back out with us next time you are on the island. Aloha!
