About

End your day by joining us on our signature sail into the beautiful Hawaiian sunset.

Upon departing the docks grab a drink as we hoist the sail and make way to the horizon, maybe even dropping a fishing line or two. As with all our cruises, keep an eye on the water as ocean life can be found at anytime, anywhere. We may get a visit from Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin, Humpback Whales (Seasonally), Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Dolphin and even Flying Fish.

As you get comfortable, our Captain and Crew will begin to prepare and plate our Pupu tasting menu for the night. Yes, we call it Pupus – but these Hawaiian style hors d’oeuvres, loved by our Captain and Crew will absolutely excite your palette. Eat, drink, and be merry as you take in the five senses of Hawaii.

Finally, let your mind run free as you watch the sun dip into the horizon to end yet another day in Hawaii. Ready to join us?
