Private Sunset Cruises

We had a very special sunset cruise on the evening of November 3rd onboard the Makani Catamaran! I think we ended up with 22 in our Navy reunion group and it was the last of four events we had this weekend. Our crew was ... morevery professional and friendly. It was a smooth cruise from start to finish. The guys are great bartenders and my Mai Tai was outstanding! The views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and the sunset were amazing! I would strongly recommend this private cruise to any group of 20 to 49 people. Thanks Captain C for an amazing experience!

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having... more to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.

Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.

Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.

When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!

Perfect service, would totally recommend. They had different options for the rides so that was really
Sweet.

The boat crew was extremely helpful and nice. My group of friends and I had a great time hanging out on the boat and watching the sunset. I would recommend booking a private catamaran like this one if you have a larger g... moreroup and you want a more intimate setting. Will definitely do this again the next time I'm in Hawaii!

The staff was great, however unfortunately, due to other people drinking on the boat & a lot of motion sickness, there was a lot of throw up Incidents which caused the whole ride to be unpleasant and rather disgusting. ... moreNot to mention, we had to takeoff our shoes so I hope I didn’t step on anything…. When I originally booked, I noticed drinks and appetizers would be provided, but there is only one option to choose from(food).

If you book, make sure you take some dramamine, even if you don’t think you have motion sickness.

The good news is that we got to sunset on our way back to the pier.

An amazing experience that really can’t be replicated on land! Being on the water for a sunset makes it so magical, I’ll never get over the vastness of the ocean. Not that it needs to be said, but the sunset was beautifu... morel.

The crew is excellent. They know exactly what they’re doing and are very accommodating and check in on you regularly without making you feel checked in on ‘too much’. The drinks are strong and tasty! The appetizer was more like a meal, and was delicious, especially for a bulk prep-made food item; we had a chicken sandwich (with actual chicken thigh) on a purple potato or ube bun!

There is music playing for the whole ride, so if you’re noise sensitive get there early so you can be one of the first on the boat to pick your spot (don’t sit inside where the bar is - that’s the noisiest spot). With that said, if you’re focusing on the beautiful scenery, the noise sort of fades away into the background, anyway.

We had an amazing time, and will do it again next time we are in Waikiki area.
