Located along Maui’s vibrant Kaanapali coastline, Sea Maui offers immersive ocean excursions that capture the island’s coastal magic in vivid detail. Operating between Leilani’s and Hula Grill on the Beach Walk in Lahaina, this operation presents more than just a boat trip—it’s a gateway to Hawaii’s dynamic marine world and unforgettable sunset moments. From early-morning snorkeling trips to evening dinner cruises, Sea Maui crafts experiences that are as engaging as they are scenic.
Their snorkeling excursions introduce guests to colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish and the occasional sea turtle gliding by.

As the sun lowers, their sunset dinner cruises shift the atmosphere to laid-back luxury. Passengers enjoy freshly prepared buffet dinners complemented by flowing drinks and live yacht rock melodies, all while the sky shifts through an unforgettable spectrum of colors over the Pacific. The crew’s attentiveness and friendly energy enhance these evenings, keeping spirits high and glasses full.
