The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience
If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.
Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you
Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.
Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

A wonderful experience from start to finish.
From the moment you board, as a couple, family, or with friends, you truly
relax and unwind with fantastic crew, hospitality and the most amazing scenery you could possible wish for.
Certainly a must to do do whilst in Waikiki.

Ship was clean, sailing was fun. The food was not especailly great (except the cream puffs--defrosted frozen, love them!), and I was surprised that the alcohol was not good quality and the beer was limited to two types. We just sailed back and forth for about 1 1/2 hours off the coast of Waikiki, saw fireworks that lasted about 10 mins, and couldn't see them well unless you were on the front of the boat (and not everyone could fit up there. The crew were polite but not very interactive. Wouldn't do it again.

We have been on this catamaran 4 times now, we absolutely love it! The staff is so nice and they make the BEST Mai Tai's as well! We will always book with them when we visit Hawaii.

Wife and I took the dinner cruise for our 25th anniversary. We had a great time. The dinner was excellent, the service was not bad. You have to remember everybody came on at the same time, so everybody wants something right away. The setting was amazing, nice boat, weather was awesome, and the scenery and sunset so beautiful. We would definately recommend this excursion.

It was definitely a good value. I went with my dad and my sister. My dad said among all activities we went to in Honolulu including Luau and circle island tour, this is cheapeast and most fun. So I would definitely recommend to whoever comes to honolulu for first time.

Confused about where to meet at the location at first and boat was about 15 minutes late so we were kind of worried if we were in the correct place.
Cruise and staff were awesome.
Mai tai's did not have much alcohol.

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

I'm not big on touristy activities, but I was thoroughly surprised at how fun this sunset cruise was. My 2 daughters (8 and 5) both had a blast. Being out in the open waters does wonders... next time I'm in Hawaii, I know what we're doing again.

Was a nice time. The mixed drink that was served had too much sugar. I think it is best to stick with wine or beers, or at least have a drink that is more rich with booze and not so sweet.

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

This is our second Sunset Cruise and we had a wonderful time. Service and Entertainment was outstanding. Food was average, and uneventful. We are not fans of meat cooked rare and would have liked to had the meat cooked to our liking. We look forward to taking this dinner cruise again, when we are in Honolulu.

The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.

The kids stole the show - they danced the whole time! It did not matter that there was drinking going on - the kids had a blast! How could they not?
