Maui Sunset Cruises
Pride of Maui Sunset Grill Cruise
Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays - Adults $65, Children (ages 3-12) $35, 2 & free
The Pride of Maui has operated a nice sunset cocktail cruise for years; starting in the spring of 2007 they have upgraded their cocktail cruise to a full dinner cruise! The entrees include baby back ribs hot off the grill, chicken breast in a tomato marinara, linguini in garlic white wine sauce, as well as grilled vegetables, fruit, artichoke dip, dessert, and more. The bar has been upgraded with premium wines, blended drinks, and premium spirits for mixed drinks. This is an excellent value in a full dinner cruise!
The Pride of Maui features a spacious downstairs cabin with dancing and live music by internationally recognized and recorded musician Joe Cano. Upstairs is a romantic open-air deck which is great for relaxing and watching the sunset and the twinkling lights from Maui's south coast resorts. This is not a formal dinner cruise where you sit at a table ... the food is served buffet style and guests mingle around the boat while the eat, drink, and dance.
The Pride of Maui Sunset Grill Cruise sails from Maalaea Harbor and is a great option for those staying in South Maui (Kihei and Wailea), or Central Maui. This is also a great way to watch whales in season!
Hula Girl
Maui's newest and most luxurious sailing catamaran, the 65' Hula Girl is truly state-of-the-art. From her teak accents and comfortable seating on the foredeck ... to the VIP lounge and hi-tech navigation station on the flybridge ... this multi-million dollar custom catamaran will just make you say "wow." The Hula Girl was conceived as a "step up" from your standard dinner cruise ... the concept is to provide a "high-quality restaurant and bar that sails." This vessel is actually equipped with a full commercial kitchen and drinks and beverages are ordered a la carte off their menu and prepared to order. On sunset cruises appetizers range from $4 to $12 and the most expensive entree is $20. Beverages are $2-3, and cocktails $4-6. The Hula Girl has added a fuel surcharge of $4 per adult and child on all tours.
