The right sunset boat depends on the mood: quiet sail, lively catamaran or dinner on the water. Boat style, departure beach and what is poured or served matter more than a few extra minutes offshore.

“Captain Crash and the crew were great all were friendly and knowledgeable. The girls were excellent and guiding us to locations were we could see turtles. We were able to see many different turtles on our trip. We also saw lots of different kinds of fish, a whale, and a pod of dolphins! One of the crew also found an octopus while we were at the reef for us to see. Sushi (the captain's dog) was another great addition to the trip and helped alert us when dolphins and whales were around!”

“It was lovely to get out on the water and see Waikiki from the catamaran. I was pleasantly surprised that the vessel was not overcrowded and that we could move around rather than be stuck in a seat where you may or may not get a good view of the fireworks. The sunset was beautiful and I got some lovely photos. The food was good and there was plenty for everyone too. Pick went smoothly and there was not trouble finding the driver and bus at the end of the night.”

“TOURIST TRAP. They put in zero effort to actually spot a whale or even take you out far enough to where it's remote. Took us a mile or two out, next to some cargo ships and took us right back. The crew were just chilling/ talking to each other in the front of the boat and the whole thing just felt like a joy ride/sunset cruise.”
