Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Sunset Happy Hour, Sushi Sunset, and Royal Sunset Dinner?

All three are incredible Maui sunset cruises, but they cater to different evenings. The Sunset Happy Hour Sail is our all-ages Maui sunset sail, a two-hour golden hour experience featuring hand-shaken cocktails, Maui’s largest onboard bar, and chef-inspired island bites like smoked marlin dip and kalua pork sliders. The Sushi Sunset at Sea is an adults-only Maui sunset cruise featuring a multi-course, chef-curated sushi tasting paired with specialty cocktails, sake, and curated wines. Finally, the Royal Sunset Dinner is the best sunset dinner cruise in Maui, an adults-only, five-course plated dinner with restaurant-style table service and premium wine pairings.

How long is each sunset sail?

The Sunset Happy Hour Sail runs for about two hours, perfectly timed for golden hour. The Sushi Sunset at Sea and the Royal Sunset Dinner each run for about 2.5 hours to allow for the full, multi-course sunset dinner cruise experience.

What’s included with the Sunset Happy Hour Sail?

Our most popular Maui sunset sail includes the island’s largest onboard bar with craft cocktails, fine wines, and local brews from Maui Brewing Co. You also enjoy a chef-inspired island spread, a full non-alcoholic spirits program featuring Ritual mocktails, and a professional photographer capturing your Maui sunset cruise memories. Curated playlists and open-air decks are purpose-built for sunset viewing.

What should I expect from the Royal Sunset Dinner?

The Royal Sunset Dinner is widely considered the best sunset dinner cruise offered in Maui. It features a five-course, chef-prepared menu plated and served fresh at sea with table seating and restaurant-style service. Each dish highlights locally sourced seasonal ingredients, with premium upgrades available, including grilled lobster tail. Every course on this Maui sunset dinner cruise is paired with curated wines and complemented by handcrafted cocktails and top-shelf spirits.

What is Sushi Sunset at Sea?

Sushi Sunset at Sea is Maui’s only adults-only sushi sunset cruise, served aboard our most modern luxury catamaran. A chef-curated, multi-course sushi tasting is plated and served by hand as the sky turns gold, featuring hamachi musubi, ahi tataki sashimi, signature rolls, and torched matcha s’mores. Specialty cocktails, curated sake, and a premium open bar make this one of the most distinctive sunset dinner cruise options in Maui.

What should I wear?

For your Maui sunset sail, we recommend casual resort attire and light layers. Evenings on the water can be cooler, so a light jacket is suggested. Comfortable, non-slip shoes are recommended for safety on deck, though you may be asked to remove them in true Hawaiian tradition.

Are dietary restrictions accommodated?

Yes. Our culinary team can accommodate most dietary restrictions on every Maui sunset dinner cruise with advance notice. Please inform us when booking so we can ensure the best possible dining experience.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking your Maui sunset sail at least 7 to 14 days in advance. Peak season, December through April, and the summer months are especially popular for Maui sunset cruises and sunset dinner cruises in Maui, so early reservations are highly encouraged.

Are the Sushi Sunset and Royal Sunset Dinner adults only?

Yes. Both are adults-only Maui sunset cruise experiences for guests 18 and over. Guests over 21 who wish to use the open bar must present a valid government-issued ID.

Is transportation provided?

Round-trip transportation is available at an additional fee for select Maui sunset cruise charters, based on availability. We partner with select Wailea resorts, including Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, Grand Wailea, Andaz Maui, Wailea Beach Resort, Hotel Wailea, and Fairmont Kea Lani.
