Intimate whale watch, worth repeating!! - Morning Sail With the Whales Ma'alaea Would definitely book with Sail Maui again. Small, intimate vessel with only 25 guests allowed. Great line of sight and easy to move around the boat. Good crew, who got us safely and ethically close to numerous whales. Best moment was when we were floating with engines off. A mother, calf and escort group approached us, swam beneath our boat and spent a lot of time close to us. (Crew was unable to actually use the sails today, as the day was unusually calm.)

25th Anniversary Tour - although it is May and most of the whales were gone, the crew took us out where we were able to see a mom and calf and they entertained us. Awesome experience🤗

Top notch - Incredible trip. Saw tons of whales. Unforgettable experience. Ride was as smooth as could be and boat was excellent. Great service and the team, Patrick, Jeff, etc., were first class. Jeff has great knowledge of whales rich with history of Lahaina and the craters.

Perfect - Best sail you can do on West Maui. Dan, Jeff, and Patrick are an amazing crew and the fact that you actually get to sail is amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Great Whale Viewing - Awesome and professional crew. We did the sunset cruise with beverages and snacks provided w meat and veggie options. Crew was attentive and safety minded as well as fun. Great whale action in late February. Temperature checks before boarding. Ship was clean w sanitizer readily available and food individually portioned. Definite recommendation for first timers or repeat every year as we do!

Had a whale of a time! - We had a great time whale watching this morning. The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Their catamaran was very clean and probably one of the best ones out of Lahaina Harbor. Highly recommend booking them for your Maui excursions.
