Waikiki Sunset Sail on Catamaran: 90-Minute Cruise with Drinks

The crew brings the drinks to you on the boat, not the other way around.

A 90-minute sunset sail departing directly off Waikiki Beach on the Ke Kai catamaran, with complimentary cocktails, beer and soft drinks for adults 21+ and non-alcoholic options for all ages. The boat carries up to 49 passengers and sails along Oahu's South Shore with constant views of Diamond Head. All guests require their own ticket regardless of age, and check-in is 30 minutes before departure.

Step-by-step itinerary

Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail Experience

• Check in 30 minutes before departure
• Board Ke Kai catamaran at Waikiki Beach
• Sail along Waikiki Beach in Mamala Bay
• Enjoy views of Diamond Head State Monument
• Experience Hawaiian sunset with drinks and music

The experience

The Ke Kai leaves the sand at Waikiki Beach itself, so there's no separate marina or transfer to arrange. You board directly into the boat and settle in as the crew casts off into Mamala Bay. The sail runs 90 minutes and catches the sunset over the water, with the yellow and purple catamaran staying close enough to shore that Diamond Head stays in view the whole time. Complimentary drinks come to you: Coronas and Maitais for adults with photo ID, plus rum and vodka cocktails. Non-drinkers get Coke, 7-Up, ginger ale, water, or passion orange juice and pineapple juice.

The boat holds up to 49 people, so the atmosphere leans toward a social crowd rather than an intimate experience. The crew plays music and keeps things moving, and the operator notes the environment can have a party feel. Something to know if you're bringing children. Guests do get wet during regular sailing conditions, so plan accordingly. The one hard requirement: you must check in 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time, no exceptions. Missing that window means losing your reservation with no rebooking or refund options.
