Rave Reviews

Traveling at the age of 20 with your friends is a guaranteed fun time but when you do amazingly fun excursions like the Makani Catamaran, it just makes your vacations a thousand times better! My friends and I had such a great time thanks to your amazing staff. They’re very nice and very helpful. I’ve been on the catamaran three times and every time it just seems to get better and better. I highly recommend Makani Catamaran, MAHALO!!! oh and we saw turtles and DOLPHINS on our sail, IT WAS AMAZING!!!

This was by far the best catamaran we have been on! The staff is AMAZING. The crew is so helpful and funny. They make you feel like your part of their crew for sure. We loved spending time on the water and hearing all they had to say about the islands and animals. The captain was great! We will be doing this again!

We saw a sea turtle and a group of dolphins followed us for a while and did some "tricks". No whales on this trip but the crew made the experience fun by telling jokes and talking about the animals.

I can't say enough nice things about our trip on the Makani Catamaran! The staff were warm and friendly, the drinks we're tasty and the views were breathtaking. We had the opportunity to stand in the Captain's Galley and take photos. Captain Jon was so accommodating and thoughtful - he even offered to take our picture. This is one experience you do not want to miss out on! Highly recommend.

The boat was in great shape, staff was very professional and committed to safety. I appreciated that more than anything. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting the Island, the views are well worth it. Great value trip!

So, full disclosure I was pretty skeptical that this would be fun at all. In fact, this was totally my wifes idea. That said, of all the things we did in Hawaii, this ended up being one of my favorites. We had been doing pushing ourselves pretty hard for several days up to this point and it was just really nice to sit back for a couple hours with drinks in hand and hang out as a family. We sat on the netting in the front and our 9,7, and 5 year old kids thought it was awesome to watch the water go by underneath and at one point even had some dolphins following us. 100% would suggest and will definitely do again.

I am so happy that I booked this during our trip to Hawaii. The crew was nice, hospitable, and very engaging. They made the sail super fun for everyone on board. Our captain was even able to show us sea turtles and a whale, even though we were not promised that when booking! Plus there was a full service bar and the drinks were awesome! I would definitely recommend to everyone. It is definitely worth it.

Gather your sailing buddies and join us for a classic ‘Day Sail’. Our Day Sail is the best way to explore Waikiki paradise. Soak in the sun, sip some Mai Tais and get a feel of the island aboard our Catamaran.

Can't say enough good things about Alan and his crew!! So kind. So knowledgeable of the island. We swam up close with turtles and had a freshly made lunch served. We felt like celebrities. Highly recommend!!

What an awesome afternoon with Sail Oahu! Captain Alan, First Mate Wanda, and crew are first class in every way. We had a beautiful day with stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head - with wine, beer, and a delicious lunch to top off the trip. The sailboat was impeccable, impressive and well appointed. We felt well cared for and very welcome. We are looking forward to our next visit to the island and another afternoon with Sail Oahu.

Sail Oahu was Soo Much Fun!!! I had the best day celebrating my birthday!! Captain Alan and First Mate Wanda will make your Trip so enjoyable! They are amazing hosts! And their boat is so classy! I felt like a princess! And the views of Diamond Head were breathtaking!! I will definitely Sail with them again!!

Sail Oahu was one of the most exciting, tranquil, humbling experiences of my life. Capt. Alan, his mate Wanda, and the entire crew were so welcoming & warm. They were particularly great with my nieces and nephews (ages 3-10) as well! They always put safety and comfort first! The sailboat itself is beautiful and lavish. The views of the Island from the open water were breathtaking. I will definitely Sail Oahu every trip I make to the island.

A fantastic day out with my friends with breathtaking views, lovely food, and a stunning boat. The crew were amazing people with such interesting stories, they really made us feel like a big happy family. I recommend this for all families, friend groups, young and old. A day I will never forget! Thank you Sail Oahu and hope to see you soon.

They have this operation dialed in. It is short but very sweet. The open bar and fun, yet competent, staff makes for good times on the water. The views are great, they have good music going, and it is fun meeting other folks on board. Definitely check it out!

What a wonderful experience! The crew was friendly and fun. The drinks were tasty and plentiful. The sunset was gorgeous and the moonrise was a terrific bonus. I highly recommend!

This was a great experience. This sail is very calm and relaxing and a completely different experience from the trade wind sails, where you expect to get tossed around and get wet. The crew was very friendly and attentive. The sunset was gorgeous, even though it was overcast all day. My wife and I now prefer this sail over the trade winds sails we have done in the past. Great sail!

My friend was visiting me on the island and we both loved this experience! The crew is so refreshing and fun! It was a mix of young and old! It was a great time! Would definitely recommend!

This is the best deal in Waikiki. Was there for a week and went on this cruise three times. ~$30 for one hour sail with open bar. So, you can sit in a hotel bar and nurse one drink or be on the ocean enjoying amazing views, listen to lively music and chug down multiple drinks. No brainer. Shout out to Dustin for the amazing sailing experience.

This was a total blast! The guys running the boat were friendly and entertaining. The sites were phenomenal. The sea life is gorgeous. And the drinks were very good. I booked a second trip, can’t wait to sale again!

ENJOY YOUR TRIP.
