What to Expect & Know Before You Go
  • Although many of the cruise boats and sailing catamarans in Hawaii will have an indoor area where guests are able to sit, it is recommended that you bring a light jacket or sweater to wear once the sun goes down. Even though Hawaii is normally quite warm and temperate, it can become a bit chilly out on the water once the sun has set.
  • Since there are many types of boats that range from small and intimate to very large, and varying ocean conditions depending on the season and weather, it is recommended that you wear flats or low heeled shoes for your safety since ocean conditions can quickly change without any notice.
  • Most of Hawaii's sunset cruises do not have a dress code, but many guests enjoy this opportunity in Hawaii to wear aloha or island resort attire.
  • The sunset cruises on Hawaii sailing catamarans will often have a lounging net to relax on during your tour. You might get splashed by the ocean waves if you sit on the net, so be careful when you are in the area.
  • Hold on tight! Whenever you are out on the water on a Hawaii boat, keep one hand on the boat at all times to make sure you don’t slip and fall.
  • Many of the sunset cruises in Hawaii offer a variety of alcoholic beverages for adult guests who are 21 years old and above. For those of you who are planning on drinking alcohol, be sure to have a designated driver or utilize a taxi/rideshare service to keep the roads safe.
  • It is also customary to give the captain and crew a gratuity if you feel they did an exceptional job, and both digital and cash tips are always appreciated.

How to Get to a Hawaii Sunset Cruise

Be sure to double check the cruise departure location before booking.
