Sail Maui’s ʻAuʻau Channel at sunset aboard a 47-foot catamaran, with island views, local bites, an open bar, and seasonal whale sightings.
About this tour
Watch Maui’s sunset unfold from the water on a Lahaina Sunset Sail aboard Paragon, a 47-foot performance catamaran. As you glide through the ʻAuʻau Channel, take in the Pacific and views of Maui, Lānaʻi, and Molokaʻi beneath a sky shifting through golden evening colors.
Settle onto the spacious forward trampolines or choose shaded seating while the crew serves local hors d’oeuvres and drinks from an open bar. The two-hour sail offers room to relax and enjoy the coastline, with chances to spot seabirds and dolphins. From December through March, humpback whales are frequently seen in the area. Sailing with the motors off depends on conditions, and the intimate trip accommodates up to 25 passengers.
Check in at the Lahaina parking lot 30 minutes before departure; boarding closes 10 minutes before the sail. Make your evening memorable with a Lahaina Sunset Sail, where open-water views and a glowing horizon set the scene for a relaxed Maui escape.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.91 on Viator and 2.87 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 35% in Maui means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Maui by this score.
