My husband and I were on our first trip to Hawaii and decided to book the Makani Dinner Cruise for our first night in Oahu. The weather was beautiful and the boat was very comfortable. The crew was very fun, polite, and helpful. It was a little confusing though about the drink coupons, or maybe it was just me, but I thought that you got two alcoholic drinks with the coupons and then the nonalcoholic drinks were free, that wasn't the case tho, anything after the two were at a cost. I will say that the drinks were pretty strong. We didn't see any dolphins and I was disappointed about that, but I can't blame them for that. All in all we enjoyed ourselves very much and the sites were great. I would have given five stars if just water would have been included after the two drinks.

I would highly recommend the Navatek Dinner Cruise. My husband and I both chose a chicken entree and it was fabulous. The staff was friendly and fun. The entertainment was awesome. This was our second time on board and we will definitely do it again. Thanks Navatek!!

This sunset cruise is very amazing, we book this trip as part of our honeymoon special memory. We got picked up from my hotel(Marriott) @3:30pm with nice Benz shuttle bus, got port @4:45 and start trip @5pm on board the lovely Makani ship.
The dinner start after 30 mins leave port, and really delicious(especially the chicken, my wife look a lot).
During the trip, we saw the nice Waikiki beach view and diamond head mountain, the sea is so deep blue and so pure. it feel different from what you see at the beach!
The exciting moment for this cruise must be at the sunset moment! and we are able to see it!(we stay there several days, but most sunset blocked by cloud, and we are so lucky that able to see the sunset!), in the attachment i attach few pics that i took at the sunset moment! Then we head back, we got back to port @7pm and ride shuttle bus back to hotel @ 8pm with nice memory.
At last, the Captain looks very nice and professional and thank you give us a nice sunset cruise!

My husband and I love the sailing cruise!! The rain was pouring down the day before and we were worried about our cruise, and it turned out the weather was just perfect on our cruise day. The staff are very friendly and make everybody comfortable. Dinner and two drinks are also delicious. We saw a very beautiful and amazing sunset in our life. The sailor girl is pretty cool when she pulls the two sails in wind. She also caught a large tree(not a big fish!) on our way back, which added to our trip another deep and funny impression. All in all, everything is great and we will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and probably try a second time!!!

My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little apprehensive as the yacht looked quite small compared to the number of people waiting to board. But once we were on board, there was plenty of room for everyone. There was a bar on board with a wide range of drinks to choose from (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). I wasn't too crazy about the food; it was too bland for my taste and because I do not like BBQ chicken. Some normal American food (bread, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes) would have made me a super happy camper. The ride was smooth for the most part and I loved the fact that the captain turned the yacht around when we spotted Dolphins and we were able to get a up close and personal look. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time on the water and a beautiful sunset.

We took 20 people on this cruise as part of our pre-wedding, Welcome to Hawaii event. It was absolutely perfect. The drinks were flowing, the crew members were friendly and outgoing, and the boat was big enough that we didn't feel jammed in - we had plenty of room to spread out and mingle with the whole group. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Totally worth the cost!

As my review title highlights, it is pretty much self-explanatory what I'm going to describe about this event that took place on August the 28th, 2015. It was one of the most exciting moments of our lifetime. Since we booked this event we have been looking forward to it. Finally when the time arrived we boarded Makani Catamaran with a wonderful reception from the crews. They were all very funny and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well organized. We sailed on time and were at the fireworks at the right moment. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with beautiful music. On the top of that we were also given a free drink. Had a nice opportunity to view the sunset as well. It was everything that you can expect on your first event in Hawaii!

We booked this with our 3 girls, ages 8, 8 & 10. This is a very family-friendly activity, and the girls interacted with other kids on the boat to make the experience better. The catamaran is comfortable and sails extremely well. We went all the way around Diamond Head before sunset, really good views! Dinner was salad, tofu rolls, chicken, beef, and extremely tasty. Not luxurious (if you want that, take the Star of Honolulu...for much more money!). The bar was well stocked. Sunset was beautiful. We had front row seats for the Hilton fireworks. The kids stayed interested and engaged the whole 3 hours, and adults had fun too! Transportation to and from Waikiki was efficient and on time.
Great value and highly recommended.

We loved the dinner cruise!!! The staff were awesome. Very friendly, willing to talk and answer questions. First captain was probably sick of taking pictures for everyone by the end :) The food was great also. There was plenty for each person and then some. The buffet style was great so everyone could eat when and where they wanted not to formal. Relaxed and casual just like we wanted. Timing was perfect to see the sunset and the view was beautiful. Everyone was good about rotating on the nets to make sure everyone else got time. The only thing I would change about this experience is make it an adult only cruise. Everything else was great!!! Thanks :)

The actual activity was great. The boat was new, and the staff was friendly. I docked one star only because VELTRA had the wrong time listed on their website and confirmation. They said we were loading at 6:30PM but the actual loading time was 7:15PM, the booking site had it wrong. Other than that it was a great experience.

The food was enjoyable, the view was beautiful and the crew was fun and inviting. The food was buffet style with chicken and broccoli and some rice, as well as some cookies. They had a bar with some nice mixed drinks and non alcoholic beverages for people as well. The ship was a little smaller and more crowded than we expected, but the crew did an excellent job of keeping everyone serviced and attending to guest needs. They were friendly and made sure to check on everyone to ensure no one was sick. We were out at sea for about 2 and a half hours, which is a good amount of time and there were a lot of waves out making it fun for many.

We booked this cruise online, requesting a hotel pickup. The day before the booking we were contacted at our hotel to confirm day and time of pickup. On arriving at the boat all the guests were debriefed with safety instructions while on board (this was good to see), we were introduced to our crew, Johnny , stretch and Amy, who were all very approachable and friendly. We headed out from the marina and hoisted the sails. Not long after leaving the marina, we were all invited to get our meals. The food was great, tasty, light and plenty of it. As part of the package we each received two drink vouchers. We cruised from the marina right out to diamond head and back again. The sunset on the way back to the marina was just beautiful. We had a great evening and enjoyed meeting a number of people - if you like sailing and enjoy meeting new people, then I would recommend this activity.

Fantastic! The crew was so nice and the trip was great. The only regret we have is that we waited until the end of our vacation to take it. Otherwise we would've opted for another excursion, e.g. sunrise cruise, fireworks. We will most certainly use this group again when we return to Waikiki.

It was my husbands first time to Hawaii and on a catamaran. He loved this excursion and everyone made him feel safe and comfortable. It was a beautiful evening. We had a beautiful time on the dinner sunset cruise! It was our honeymoon and this made it very romantic and special! The food was delicious and we went back for seconds! There wasn't a lot of seating on the boat so that was hard sometimes. The workers were friendly and Stretch really knows how to make the drinks! There were a few annoying girls that flirted with the workers and were loud, two people got sick, but these things are all uncontrollable. Overall, it was great and I have already recommended this cruise to family and friends! Thank you!

The food was great and they offered a good variety. The cocktails were fantastic and there was a good selection of beers and spirits. I only have great comments about that evening. Watching the firework on the water was just magical. The service was very nice and the staff were very thoughtful. I will do this cruise again next year when we come back.
