Ko Olina Sunset Cruise: Small Group Yacht Prosecco Tasting
Ko Olina at golden hour: a 46-foot yacht, six people, Prosecco, and the island's edge.
A small group sunset cruise on Oahu departs from Ko Olina aboard a 46-foot yacht carrying no more than 6 passengers for a 2.5-hour experience. You'll sip sparkling wine and spirits from a hosted bar while the crew prepares a Captain's Tasting Menu, all timed to watch the sun drop below the horizon and the West Oahu coastline fade into dusk. A live English-speaking guide leads the experience; casual evening attire is the dress code.

The Experience
The yacht leaves Ko Olina with six people maximum, which means no crowding and room to move between the deck and the cabin as the light changes. Pickup happens at the marina; you'll want to arrive 10 minutes early. The bar runs the whole time—Hawaiian bottled water, soft drinks, beer, and sparkling wines (Prosecco and Brut) are included, so you're not ordering or tracking rounds. While you're settling in and the boat moves out, the crew starts on the Captain's Tasting Menu in the galley, timing it so the food comes out as the sun reaches the horizon.
The route follows West Oahu's coastline, and the timing of the cruise—either winter or summer departure—shifts what the light does and how long it lingers. You choose which season when you book. The guide is there throughout, speaking English, and knows the water and the island's geography. Casual evening attire is all that's expected; this is not formal, and the boat moves gently enough that you won't need to brace yourself. If you have dietary needs, mention them at booking and the kitchen will adjust the menu.
The experience runs 2.5 hours total. Taxes and fees are built into the price. Gratuities, parking, and transportation to the marina are separate, so budget for those if you're driving yourself. Children are welcome if an adult is with them the whole time; the minimum drinking age is 21 for anyone ordering from the bar. Service animals are allowed on deck.

Is this one for you?Book the winter or summer option based on when you're visiting Oahu—both follow the same route and include the same menu and bar, so the choice is simply which sunset timing works with your schedule. The six-person limit means you're never jostling for space or waiting for the crew's attention, which is what makes the tasting menu and the bar feel unhurried.
