Glide from Maʻalaea Harbor on a double-deck catamaran for a four-course dinner as Maui’s sunset unfolds. Expect fresh island produce, guaranteed outdoor seating, and coastal views of Molokini, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe.
The catamaran slips from Maʻalaea as the sky thins to gold, the ocean nudging the hull and the islands of Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe passing like pages. Guests cluster on the bow and upper deck, plates arriving warm against the cooling air, while the sunset argues with the horizon for the last word.

The catamaran slips from Maʻalaea as the sky thins to gold, the ocean nudging the hull and the islands of Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe passing like pages. Guests cluster on the bow and upper deck, plates arriving warm against the cooling air, while the sunset argues with the horizon for the last word.
Molokini is a half-submerged volcanic crater sculpted by prehistoric eruptions; from the water it reads like a blunt, dark thumb pointing south. Kahoʻolawe carries a complicated past — used for military training in the 20th century — and now draws quiet interest for cultural restoration efforts. Maui’s coastline reflects both geology and culture: coral reefs protect shallow bays, and local farmers supply the greens and fruits that appear on the dinner menu.
Expect a relaxed, social voyage rather than an athletic outing. The vessel offers guaranteed outdoor seating and a professionally prepared four-course dinner featuring locally sourced produce and island flavors. The crew narrates points of interest as the sun tilts, and the sea itself often steals the show — currents pushing the boat into a smoother glide as light fades.
Practical notes: check in 45 minutes before departure at the Maui Ocean Center area in Maʻalaea. Dress in layers; evenings offshore can turn breezy. If you're prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand and sit midship for the steadiest ride. The operator is cashless for onboard purchases (cards only), so bring a card or mobile payment method and plan for gratuities in cash. Inform the crew of dietary restrictions at booking — entree choices include chicken, short rib, shrimp, or Portobello mushroom.
