Sunset Cruise A’Bay

Reviewed by: Howard, 2023/08/24

The trip was great. Nice being out on the ocean. Catamaran felt safe. Captain and crew were friendly and competent. Lots to drink plus snacks. Always a beautiful sunset. Highly recommended. Would do it again. Mahalo!

Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

Great crew, very friendly and provided a fantastic sunset!

The Crew was Awesome and the Sunset was Priceless

The Crew was Awesome and the Sunset was Priceless. We had breaching whales all evening. Fun was had by the whole family. We were surprised when they served a meal, but it was delicious.

Humpback whale breach, co*cktails, and a delicious bite

Lovely crew, delicious Mai Tai, amazing wildlife viewing. I have never seen a humpback whale do a complete breach, and this was just supposed to be a sunset sight cruise! We laughed and truly enjoyed the time. Our plans changed from going to see the stars to this, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Wish I had understood I would be barefoot the whole time (I likely didn't read the memo). Would have changed which shoes I wore to board.

Great Crew, But Cloudy Day

Reviewed by: TPBChicago, 2023/02/21

The crew was friendly, funny and attentive. Thought we were just getting snacks with our drinks, but also got a teriyaki chicken bowl, which was a pleasant surprise. It was a cloudy day, so no sunset. As such, it would have been nice if they had tried to get us closer to the whales we saw in the distance, to make up for the impending lack of a sunset.

Loved being on the water

We had a great time on this cruise. Sipping co*cktails, watching the sun slip beneath the ocean, looking for the legendary green flash. A perfect evening.

Great experience!

The crew is fun and informative. Great views of the island from the water and even saw some whales breaching. Made for some great pictures and we saw the "green flash" as sunset! You take a tender to the boat and do have to walk into the water a bit so just make sure you have on shorts or something you can lift up while getting on and off. Bring cash for tip and any extra drinks. Departs from the beach behind the Marriott which was super convenient if you're staying here.

Simply Awesome

Best crew on the Pacific

Reviewed by: Adam H , 2021/07/01

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Capt Mike, Faith, Brandon and Rob were the height of professionalism yet still made it fun. They were knowledgeable of the area, sailing and were very personable. They made it their mission to make sure we were happy, comfortable and filled with liquid refreshment. Sunset was out of this world and different experience then watching it from land. You won’t regret a single minute on this boat!

Unforgettable!

This was one of the highlights when mt boyfriend and I visited Hawaii. The crew staff was amazing and very friendly. We ended up being the only two people on the sail boat so it was nice to have it all to ourselves. Would totally do it again!

Throughly enjoyed the sunset.
