Set sail from Ka'anapali Beach for a two-hour sunset cruise serving a buffet dinner and local drinks while the West Maui mountains, Molokai and Lānaʻi slide by. Ideal for relaxed evening views and seasonal whale watching.

The catamaran slips away from Ka'anapali's sandy edge as the sun lowers, and the West Maui mountains darken into a clean silhouette. Trade winds push the sail into a steady hum while the crowd settles on deck and trampolines, cocktails in hand and cameras poised. Molokai and Lānaʻi hover on the horizon like nearby islands of light, and the ocean dares you to look beyond the shore.
