Itinerary
Experience the magic of a Maui sunset sail aboard our spacious catamaran, ‘Alihilani. The name ‘Alihilani means “the place where the horizon meets the sea,” and there’s no better way to take it in than from the water. Sail through the ‘au‘au Channel with breathtaking views of Maui, Lāna‘i, and Moloka‘i. Relax on the forward trampolines or in shaded cabin seating while our crew raises the sails and turns off the motors for a true performance sailing experience. Your sunset sail includes appetizers and a full open bar with sparkling wine, white wine, local beer, and island-inspired cocktails. From December through March, this trip doubles as a Maui whale watching sunset sail, offering the unforgettable chance to see humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping, and spouting in their natural habitat.

The 2 hour sunset cruise with Sail Maui out of Maalaea harbor is well worth the price. The crew were all great and attentive. We had great views of the sunset. The appetizers were good and plenty to drink.
Amazing!!! Wish the night never ended. We booked a group of 14 to celebrate a 70th birthday and we all had an amazing time. The crew was great, food was good, and the experience was priceless!
Such an amazing experience! We booked a sail for my mother’s 70th birthday and had an amazing time! Thank you!
Great time and a great crew that attended to every need. We had unlimited mai tais plus beer and appetizers. The weather was perfect and the sunset very nice. Couldn't have had a nicer trip. Definitely recommend it.
My husband, two sons and I loved this experience so much. Crew was friendly, organized and just cool not awkward or forced. We had such a great time that my 22 year old said he would definitely do that again and we all agreed. Food, drinks, great music and some stories from the crew about the areas we sailed along. Oh and of course the scenery is spectacular!
Had a great time! The crew was amazing, and the appetizers and drinks were also good.
This trip was outstanding! Our crew Captain Carlos, Braxton, Joe and Meg ensured we had an amazing experience. The catamaran was smooth and comfortable. Drinks were flowing. The food was delicious. And the sunset stole the show! I would highly recommend this trip. It was money well spent!
The experience was amazing and the captain and crew were awesome, the type of energy and upbeat personalities is what you'd be expecting considering you're in the beautiful Hawaii The food was great and man the bartender definitely knows how to make a Mai Tai 😁 so a shout out to Nate and the crew for the amazing drinks. We'll definitely be booking another one when we come back and hopefully sail Maui will have the same crew 🤙 From Houston Texas Mahalo 🤙
Really easy parking lot meet up and walk to the boat. Friendly staff serving drinks and food. Staff came around numerous times asking if we needed a refill or new drink. Tour was the perfect amount of time and we really enjoyed interacting with everyone in the boat. Would definitely do the tour again!
Great crew, drinks and appetizers. The time flew by we had a lot of fun. Very easy to get to from the resort.
Wonderful modern catamaran with a first class captain (Kevin) and team. The drinks were great and never ending and ride was smooth. Parking and access we perfect.
Easy meet up, great crew with tons of knowledge of the islands. Very attentive. Great sail. Food was okay and simple. We went to dinner after. Drinks were plentiful. Been on several cruises and this as the best.
The experience was wonderful. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The captain let people take pictures with him and by the wheel. The food and drinks were good and watching the sun set at sea was incredible. I would highly recommend.
Great job by the captain and crew. Super good vibes between the accommodating crew, the flowing drinks, the great music, and the chill captain. You could tell they wanted to do everything they could to give us the best time. Great experience, well worth the price. Highly recommended!
Such a beautiful experience. A peaceful and serene atmosphere with breathtaking views. What a magical place to be!
An excellent calm and tasty trip. We saw flying fish, dolphins including a baby. Very nice crew and thoughtful non alcohol drinks.
It was perfect. The crew were rad, helpful and funny (from the captain to the deckhands). We went with our kid, but many were couples, families, friends groups, all across the board. Food and drinks were great ... loved the experience. Y'all were fantastic. Thanks!
Maui in general is a WOW experience. So I was so a Happy to see an excursion to raise the bar. The staff are over the top friendly and going out in the bay with an experienced crew at sunset can't be beat. Loved everything from the pickup to the drop-off.
Easy access on/off the catamaran at a marina (easier than a beach access cruise). Very nice staff. We enjoyed this!
We had a great time! Captain Kevin and crew were awesome! It was our first sunset sail on the islands and we enjoyed it so much! Highly recommend!
The crew was awesome! They were so friendly and attentive! They made us feel safe and made sure we had a great time. The sunset was amazing! I would definitely recommend!!!
The sunset tour was wonderful, the drinks were flowing and great appetizers. Captain Brandon and his crew Megan and Henry were amazing so friendly and competent! Was the best excursion I’ve done in Maui!! ❤️❤️
We love going on sunset cruises when we visit the Hawaiian islands and this has been one of our favourites. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Next trip to Maui we will definitely book with the same people for the Molokini crater snorkel and whale watching.
Great sunset sailing experience. The crew was amazing; friendly and professional. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Great experience, crew was wonderful and very accommodating! Whole family enjoyed the experience, and the food and drink choices were great!
A terrific evening with a great crew. They were very attentive with food and drink. The food was fresh and tasty. They offered to take pictures of anyone that wanted photos.
I loved the tour! It was so much fun. The tour guides were awesome hosts. The appetizers and drinks served were delicious as well. Definitely worth the money!
Wonderful experience. Definitely recommend!
Incredible time! The food and drinks were amazing. The crew and captain were all so welcoming and fun, and the boat was so beautiful and clean. Would totally recommend!
Fabulous sail. Crew is great. Drinks and food was excellent. Highly recommend!
Great crew, Great cruise. Recommend highly. Made great friends and crew made sure everyone was taken care off.
Jess Jen and Brayden were wonderful hosts. The food and drinks were great. It was a relaxing and fun evening.
This was an amazing experience. We were happy to hear we were supporting local folks as we booked the morning of. The crew took care of us the entire trip. We were waited on with unlimited cocktails and appetizers. They even were available to take pictures of us and helped us celebrate our 30th anniversary. Shout out to the crew....Brandon the captain and first mates Nate & Tay. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. Mahalo!!
This was our 8th sunset cruise, extremely clean, well organized and crew was amazing!. the only concern and wasnt really to our likeling. There were alot of children on this sail. 8 or so. ages 5 and under, ru ning around the boat, and very little supervision, which is not the crews job, it would not have taken much for a child to slip over board. It was a huge distraction for my wife and i trying to enjoy our Anniversary. Again nothing to do with the crew, Excellence is how i would describe all 4 of them, worked together and made sure clients were taken care of.
Crew is great!! Had a great time!!
Captain Kevin and his crew were awesome! We were fortunate to have a small group of passengers so we received customer service at its finest. Calm and peaceful sail to start our vacation in Maui.
It was fun. We really enjoyed it. The food was more than we expected and was good.
We had a great time with Sail Maui. We did a sunset sail and it was amazing! Captain Brandon and his crew were amazing. Beyond just knowledgeable and friendly, they were genuinely engaged with their passengers. The food was good and the drinks were plentiful and strong.....did I say that the drinks were plentiful and strong? OK. This is the best value on Maui!
This was a great time and great weather! We got to see dolphins and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Yummy food and drinks and the guides were super friendly and awesome!
The Sunset Sail was amazing! The crew AJ and Shannon were very accommodating and welcoming. Captain Chase did a great job too. The “snacks” were super delicious (chicken kabobs, tomato and mozzarella, fresh fruit) and so much more than I expected. We had a wonderful time chilling to tunes while sailing and enjoying the ocean views. An added bonus was seeing sooo many dolphins. I would highly recommend this tour.
Jeremiah and his crew were outstanding! The views were phenomenal as were the Mai tais and pupus! Thanks for the great service and Aloha experience!
The crew is safety conscience and very helpful with everyone boarding the catamaran. They meet you in the parking lot and walk you over to the pier in Lahaina. The open bar is truly an open bar and they serve everything from champagne to rum and coke, to Bloody Mary's and mai tai's. The pupus are delicious and plenty of food. Chocolate chips cookies were for dessert. The cruise was spectacular! The sails were hoisted and it was so pleasant to watch the sun set beneath the horizon. Don't miss your chance to sail with this crew. You won't regret it. I've been on many catamaran cruises and this is one of the best.
My husband and I and another couple just did the sunset sail, crewed by Captain Chase, Dustin, Jess and AJ. It was the perfect excursion and I cannot recommend this highly enough. Booking was easy, and they provided lots of communication prior to the excursion. We spent the cruise on the cargo nets upfront and wanted for nothing, as Dustin, Jess and AJ constantly checked on us, refilling our drinks, taking our appetizer plates, bringing around cookies near the end, and making sure we were comfortable. The service was incredible. The appetizers were yummy, and consisted of chicken skewers and mozzarella, tomato, and basil skewers, and fresh fruit. I think the price we paid was super reasonable for a three hour sail. We will be repeat passengers every time we come to Maui.
The four-member crew was friendly and helpful. The boat is clean and roomy. The crew used the boat's engines on the way out and on the way back, while using the sails when we were furthest out into the ocean. Be aware: It gets very windy on the open ocean. The crew also cautioned us to be respectful of the Lahaina community, which is still recovering from the wildfires; it is only recently that they have been able to sail out of Lahaina again.
We had the best time tonight on our sunset cruise with Captain Chase and his crew members Henry, Dennis and Bryce ( forgive me if I got their names wrong)! They made our cruise personable and the crew went all out to make sure we had everything we needed and take pictures of all of us. I wasn’t sure how the water would be 2 days after Tropical Storm Lala, but we had pretty smooth sailing and a beautiful tour of the west Maui coast line and sunset! The drinks were flowing and the appetizers were great. I would definitely recommend this tour, and do it again on our future trips to Maui! Mahalo Captain Chase and crew!
Jess, Dustin and Chase made this a great experience. We sat in the front cargo net the entire time and they came and checked in on us often. Great cruise with beautiful views! I get motion sick very easily, but did great on this sunset cruise. Jess even came around and took photos of people for them with the sunset. Thanks for a great time!
Amazing, low-key sail at sunset. Great music, good food and a fantastic crew. Captain Brandon, Nick and his brother were wonderful! This was one of my favorite things we did while in Maui!
What an amazing experience. With the staff of James, Henry and Leilani our sunset cruise was perfect. Drinks were flowing(and were delicious) food was perfect for an evening cruise and we wanted for nothing. A special shout out to Henry and Leilani who continuously went out of their way to make each of us feel special and well cared for. Looking forward to our next sunset booking with Sail Maui. Top notch watercraft. Top notch staff and top notch experience.
Great experience! Ollie and crew were fun and so nice. Apps were good. Drinks were flowing. Sunset viewing location hit all the feels. Thank you!
