Embrace the moment as the sun gracefully dips beneath the horizon, possibly offering a glimpse of the elusive green flash. Departing from Anaehoomalu Bay (A-Bay), indulge in the serenity of sailing and unwind. The catamaran’s specially designed sunset-orange and maile lei sail presents a beautiful juxtaposition against the clear blue Pacific. Immerse yourself in the tranquil romance of a Kona-Kohala sunset cruise.

Max’s sunset cruise - Seeing the “Green Flash @ sunset! The crew was fabulous and they went out of their way to give us a lot of the islands info. The drinks and snacks were nice but the teriyaki chicken dinner was really good. I didn’t expect that and it was appreciated.

Sunset Memories - My son and I were lucky enough to get tickets the same day. We stayed in Hilo, so we drove 1.5 hours for this tour. It was worth it! Seeing the island from the water off shore offers a totally different perspective. The captain and crew were friendly and helpful. The drinks, snacks,food and reggae music offered a lovely ambiance. It made our last day on the island a special memory.
