Had a great time on the sunset cruise. The crew was friendly and fun, the catamaran had a lot of space and clean. Enjoyed chilling up front on the trampoline nets.The drinks and snacks were great and they served us a teriyaki chicken bowl that was good. Had the perfect sunset. Highly recommend.

My friend Kim and I had the absolute BEST time aboard this Catamaran.We witnessed an amazing sunset, saw a few Dolphins, and even a beautiful rainbow! There were only 4 of us on a boat that holds 40 so it felt like our own private charter. Our Captain, Keith was excellent, very knowledgeble and answered all our questions. His deckhand, Nicole was Johnny on the spot when it came to making sure we had everything we needed and was an amazingly hard worker. I would recommend this company to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

★★★★★ Donna L

We had a wonderful time on the sunset sail. The captain was hilarious as he expertly got us all boarded, seated and safety checked. The crew was super friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were great. The crew members were awesome at taking photos of everyone with the beautiful sun setting in the background. Thank you! We'll be sure to do this again next time we are in Kona/Waikoloa!

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

We believe in delivering service, safety and the spirit of Aloha. We respect the ocean and the ecosystem, and we follow strict guidelines so that all marine wildlife is protected. Additionally, we honor the host culture and support the local communities in which we operate.

We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow and for every tomorrow after. That’s why we are Hawaii’s first Dolphin SMART-recognized operator. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Dolphin SMART program educates guests about dolphin conservation and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild.

We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices — such as not feeding fish.
