Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sunset Happy Hour Sail?

This is Maui's most scenic happy hour at sea, featuring a two-hour sunset sail aboard a 65-foot luxury catamaran. We raise the sails, serve hand-shaken cocktails, and provide island bites as you glide into golden hour, creating the perfect Maui sunset sail and a true sunset sailing experience.

What makes this different from other sailing charters?

Many sunset sails are actually just motorized cruises. We offer genuine sunset sailing. Once we clear the harbor, the engines turn off and the sails go up so you can ride the famous Maui trade winds. That authentic approach is exactly what sets our sailing charters apart from a standard Maui sunset cruise.

What's included on this Maui sunset sail?

This sunset sail includes true open-ocean sailing, an open bar with craft cocktails and Maui Brewing Co. favorites, and an island spread featuring smoked marlin dip and a kalua pork slider bar. With relaxing bow hammocks and a zero-proof program, this is luxury sunset sailing done right.

How long is the sunset sail and when does it leave?

Yes. We deliver a true sailing experience. The crew hoists the sails so you feel the quiet power of the trade winds, the kind of sailing sunset you only get aboard a real sunset sailboat, not a motor cruise. Please note that sailing is weather dependent.

Do we actually sail?

Yes. We deliver a true sailing experience. The crew hoists the sails so you feel the quiet power of the trade winds, the kind of sailing sunset you only get aboard a real sunset sailboat, not a motor cruise.

Yes, this sunset sail in Maui is fully open to all ages. It is a welcoming evening of Maui sailing for families and groups who want to celebrate the end of the day with one of our premier sailing adventures.

Where does the sunset sail depart from?

Might we see whales on the sunset sail?

Absolutely. During whale season (December through April), humpback whales frequently appear on this sail at sunset, turning an already stunning evening of sunset sailing in Maui into something unforgettable.
