Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise: Live Music & Open-Air Decks
Drink on the water while Waikiki's skyline turns gold.
The Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise aboard the Majestic is a 90-minute evening sail along the Oahu coast with live entertainment, a full-service bar and lounge, and your choice of three departure times or a Friday night fireworks option. You get one complimentary drink upon boarding, access to three decks including an open-air top level and air-conditioned lounge with panoramic windows, and the option to add hotel pickup on select departures. The boat's 360-degree sightlines mean you can watch the sunset from wherever you're most comfortable: the breezy open deck or the climate-controlled lounge.

The experience
The Majestic leaves from Waikiki and spends 90 minutes on the water, timing the sail so you're on deck when the sun hits the horizon. The yacht has three distinct spaces: an open-air top deck where the ocean breeze hits you directly, a contemporary dining room on the middle level, and a sleek air-conditioned lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows on the lower deck. That variety matters because sunset happens once, and you get to choose whether you want it unfiltered or framed through glass with a cocktail in hand.
Live entertainment runs nightly, and the bar is full-service. Your welcome drink is included, then everything else is available for purchase. On Fridays, the boat positions itself to catch Waikiki's fireworks display, visible from both the open decks and the lounge windows. The 90-minute window is tight enough that the whole experience stays focused on the light show and the coast. It doesn't sprawl into the evening.
You choose your departure time at checkout: the 5:15pm or 6:00pm Sunset Cocktail Cruise on any night, or the Friday Night Fireworks Cruise if you want the pyrotechnics. Hotel pickup is available on some options but not all, so confirm that detail when you book. Infants can ride in a stroller or on a lap, and the boat is suitable for all fitness levels. There's no hiking or swimming involved, just moving between decks as you please.
