Maita'i Catamaran operates in Honolulu, offering a fleet experience of relaxed, 90-minute sails departing from Waikiki Beach. The company presents a set of themed cruises, including the Sunset Mai Tai Sail, Tradewind Sails, Afternoon Delite Sail, Friday Night Fireworks Sail, and a special New Year’s Eve Sail with 49 available spots. Each sail departs from Waikiki and focuses on accessible, scenic outings along the Honolulu coastline with views of Diamond Head and the city skyline. Onboard, a friendly crew serves beverages—many sails include an open bar featuring Mai Tais and beer—while providing narration and safety. The Afternoon Delite Sail highlights marine life sightings: dolphins, sea turtles, and seasonal whale appearances when in season.

Trips are 90 minutes in length, designed for travelers seeking a concise, memorable ocean experience without a full-day commitment.
