Unforgettable Maui Experience - Outgoing friendly crew comfortable seating and food and drink was top tier. My fillet and scampi was superb and ask for the “sailor’s ale”.

A Must-Do Experience While on Maui - If you find yourself on the beautiful island of Maui, do not miss the opportunity to sail with Ali’i Nui’s Royal Sunset Dinner Sail aboard the Ali’i Kai. From the mesmerizing views to the exquisite cuisine and the phenomenal service, this experience has it all. It's perfect for a romantic evening, a special celebration, or simply a night out with friends or family.
As we returned to the harbor with hearts full and smiles wide, we realized that the memories created that evening would last a lifetime. Ali’i Nui truly understands the essence of hospitality, and their Royal Sunset Dinner Sail is a shining example of their commitment to excellence. Highly recommend! A+++

Best Catamaran Sunset Cruise – A Must-Do! - If you’re shopping around for a catamaran sunset dinner cruise, stop now—you won’t find better! This boat is new, spacious, and impeccably clean. The food was delicious, and we got the most stunning photos with the sunset. The open bar was a fantastic bonus, and the service was exceptional. We even got to try some new things that we absolutely loved. This experience went far beyond our expectations, and we’ll definitely be back. Unlike other crowded boats we saw, this one had plenty of space, and the atmosphere was perfect.
The captain and his crew were AMAZING. I cannot stress this enough. They made the entire experience so enjoyable and relaxing.
Highly recommend!

Best part of our trip - Fantastic sunset cruise. Was highlight of our trip. The crew was attentive, food was good and views were spectacular. I think if they added a hula dancer or Hawaiian singer it would be a nice Hawaiian touch. Highly recommend!!

The best dinner cruise we've been on in Maui - The boat is very new and you can tell . The entire crew was fantastic from start to finish . They brought us drinks and appetizers right away and kept serving us more drinks and food . They weren't the cheap kinds of sticky drinks and run of the mill food that many dinner cruises serve. The drink selections were great and the food was delicious. Plus having not that many guests on the boat ensured really attentive service. The photographer was very good, especially since there was a lot of cloud coverage. The only disappointment is that the boat didn't really sail. It was motored to a cove near the cliffs and below the highway and we stayed there until we motored back to the harbor. I don't know if this was because of the weather, the permit they have as to where they can go, or what. Just would have liked to seen more views from different locations. But other than that, the boat ,staff, and food and drinks were fabulous.

Not a luxury experience - we felt like suckers - We did the New Year’s Eve cruise with the fireworks. It was labeled as a luxury experience which it definitely was not. I tried to call all 5 different numbers they have in their booking confirmation and the numbers referenced in those automatic voicemail messages just to get a better idea of how much food is onboard and if we should go to dinner before. I left 3 voicemails and never heard back. The fireworks lasted maybe 3 minutes of the 3.5 hours that we were on the boat and they were pretty underwhelming when they did finally happen. The rest of the time on the boat was pretty boring. There was no countdown or anything. The small selection of food was stale and the drinks were bland (at least the non-alcoholic ones). When they brought around a dessert tray, we had a good laugh about how they told us they were exotic “Russian Tea Cakes.” They were definitely doughnut holes from Costco. 😂 We also were prevented from visiting the top deck because I guess $400 per person wasn’t a high enough price to earn that privilege. We left feeling like suckers for paying such a high price for such a lackluster experience. But the crew was friendly and cool and I heard from another passenger onboard that their regular, day-to-day experiences are a little better planned. That said though, I don’t think we’ll be paying this company again for any more excursions when we come back to Maui and based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either.
