Great time on the high sea
It was fun and the crew is great, the boat is beautiful. The captain dropped the sails and we took off like a rocket.

Wonderful experience!...
Wonderful experience! Captain Noah, Isaiah and Carsten were a great crew! Keep them on the ship all the time!

A beautiful day on the water.
The free drinks were a hit. My daughter enjoyed her soda. The crew were very professional yet friendly and helpful. I would like to have less music and more just the quiet sounds of the sails and ocean. Not everyone likes loud music!

Disappointed!
Maybe we didn’t research good enough. All the forgot to mention is the Pier F runs parallel across from the Ala Mohana road. We were told the name of the Marina the letter of the Pier and the pier number and we weren’t able to get there on time. The marina is big and if you take the road around it you will never get there. We walked the park, we walked and walked and by the time we found it they were gone. The trip was at 3:30 they suggested to be there by 3:00 pm. Didn’t find them until 3:45. Our hotel was with in walking distance. So unfortunate! Call them and wrote them but not answer. Well make sure you know where it is or you will be left behind! Take a taxi do not walk!!! We loss the money and our afternoon! Be aware! Aloha.

Amazing time!
We originally were signed up for Friday, but because of the lightning, they offered either and refund or reschedule. We rescheduled for the next day. Lovely crew, always made sure we were good on drinks. Very good time. The crew were so friendly and showed a lot of aloha! Mahalo to the crew for a great time!! Definitely recommend.

Q
Subpar with Steven
Overall subpar experience. You could get much better on spirit of aloha or honestly any other Waikiki sunset sail catamaran. This one was the worst and the bartender/deckhand Steven was very rude and seemed like he didn’t care that his job was to be a bartender. Or maybe it wasn’t and that’s why he was so bad at it, not sure, again why I would chose any other Waikiki sunset sail over this one.

Best boat In Hawaii
Had a great experience got to see whales and excellent service from Bo our boat bartender. The weather was not the greatest. But the staff helped us make the best time with great music great drinks, and a safe experience.
