Sail into Maui’s golden hour aboard a luxury catamaran, with craft drinks, bow hammocks, music, and sunset views over the open ocean.
About this tour
Set sail into Maui’s golden hour aboard a 65-foot luxury catamaran, where island breezes, music, and sunset views set the scene for a relaxed evening on the water. This Maui Sunset Sail pairs open-ocean sailing with a lively onboard bar and room to unwind.
Sip handcrafted cocktails made with local spirits and fresh island ingredients, or choose wine, Maui-brewed beer, and options from the zero-proof program. Stretch out on the bow hammocks, settle into the shaded cabin, and take in the changing colors across the ocean. A professional photographer is onboard to capture the evening, and during whale season, from December through April, humpback whales frequently appear. The catamaran also has two marine restrooms.
The 120-minute Maui Sunset Sail departs from Ma'alaea Harbor. Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and boarding; crew can assist as you step aboard. Raise a glass, watch the sun sink toward the horizon, and make your Maui evening one to remember.

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 6.9.
