We had an amazing experience! Great value for the money spent. We spent about 3 hours onboard. They each spent time with everyone and very personable. Matt, Tae, Captain Brandon, along with another Captain in training. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our trip.
Aloha! We’re so glad you had such a great time with us! It’s awesome to hear the crew made a point to connect with everyone and helped make the whole experience so enjoyable. Mahalo for spending the day on the water with us! 🤙
It was an amazing experience. The crew was absolutely phenomenal. They were very personable and funny. They made the whole trip so fun! Matt, Tae and Brandon will forever be etched in our memories.

Everything was amazing, but the check-in process was long. We signed our waivers online and they somehow got lost so we all had to stand there and sign waivers again.
Mahalo for the feedback, and we’re really sorry about the check-in hiccup. We know having to redo waivers after already completing them online was frustrating and definitely not the smooth start we want for our guests. We really appreciate your patience and are glad the rest of the experience was a great one. We’ll be sharing this feedback with our team so we can get to the bottom of what happened. 🤙
Wonderful experience with a knowledgeable crew. Drinks were flowing and the appetizers were delicious.
Mahalo for the kind words! We’re glad you had a great time out on the water and enjoyed the evening with us. We really appreciate you choosing Sail Maui and hope to see you back aboard again soon! 🌺
Crew was fun and efficient. Food was exceptional quality! Drink service was excellent! Thanks to James, Jenn and Tay! Captain Brady was thoroughly professional and still entertaining. We may go again next week, so much fun and great value.
Mahalo for the awesome review! We’re so glad you had such a fun time with us. Love hearing that the crew made the evening a good one, and we’d be stoked to have you back out again next week! ⛵️
The boat is spacious and crew beyond accommodating. The pupu’s were light but fresh & very satisfying. We were a party of about a dozen friends & friends if friends. I would definitely book again with them. Wonderful sunsets!
Mahalo for the kind review! We’re glad you and your group had a great evening with us. There’s nothing quite like a Maui sunset from the water, and we’d love to have you all back aboard again sometime! 🌅
