There were beers and strong cocktails available for a very cheap price, and all of the staff were very knowledgeable and entertaining.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 533 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $149

Review of Maui’s Calypso sunset dinner cruise, with prime rib or fish, open-bar drinks, live music, whale sightings, and practical booking tips.

“We traveled with our three adult children to Maui for Christmas and thought a Christmas Eve dinner cruise would be perfect. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. Since we had a party of five we enjoyed a reserved table. Of course it was very windy but that’s to be expected. Between us we ordered prime rib, baby back ribs and fish as options. The fish was very good with lemon and capers and our daughter loved her ribs. The prime rib was fine but not the best. They were all served with white rice and a squash medley. All fine but under seasoned. We weren’t there for the food…”

Review of Maui’s Molokini and Turtle Town yacht snorkel, with food, open bar, luxury amenities, costs, weather risks, and booking tips.

Boat beautiful new and clean. The equipment for snorkeling was new and very good too. They offer ginger laced sprite to calm stomachs. Definitely a great trip. We highly recommend this trip and crew!”
