Sunset Sail on the Mai Tai Catamaran
Going on a sunset cruise is a must during your visit to Waikiki. Stunning views of Diamond Head, the Honolulu skyline, and the ocean await. There are quite a few companies to choose from but this is why we loved the Mai Tai Catamaran.

You can book your sail on the Mai Tai Catamaran on their website. They have various different sails available including day sails, sunset sails, moonlight sails, and private charters. We went on a sunset sail which included an open bar. You’ll check in 30 minutes prior to your sail at the kiosk located on the beachfront area of the Sheraton Waikiki. There are port-o-potty type bathrooms on the boat but I’d recommend going at the Sheraton before your sail. Also make sure to book early, sunset sails get booked up first since they are so popular. Prices vary per type of sail and children are cheaper than adults. You can read more info and book online on the Mai Tai Catamaran’s Website HERE.
Your sail on the Mai Tai will be barefoot! It may also be a little wet getting on and off so I highly suggest wearing your swimsuit and a cover up or some clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet. They do have places on the boat to store your shoes and bags.
One thing about the Mai Tai is your ticket includes an open bar for the entire cruise! They have beers, mai tai’s juice and water available for your unlimited enjoyment (so more than just alcoholic beverages). This is where we were introduced to Hawaiian Sun juices, and we fell in love!
The entire cruise you will have the most beautiful view of Diamond Head. You’ll sail out towards it and then turn around and head back into Waikiki Beach during the sunset.
There were lots of other sails also out at the same time, we enjoyed waving at the other boats.
You do have an opportunity to stand on the edge of the front of the boat. Keep in mind it gets pretty wet up there! It makes a great spot to feel the wind in your hair and snap some photos.
The staff was so fun and upbeat, they made the sail a great experience for us. They were also graciously willing to snap photos for everyone.
The sunset is so much more breathtaking when you’re on a boat. It feels so much closer than when you’re watching it from the beach.
