Tip: When shopping for Hawaii activities, we recommend looking at the total final price, not just the advertised rate. Many sites display lower upfront prices but add processing fees, booking fees, inflated taxes, or other costs at checkout. With us, the price you see includes everything except Hawaii sales & harbor taxes (7.71%), which is clearly shown before you complete your booking.

The cruise is usually 5 - 7:30 pm, with check-in about 30 minutes beforehand. 

Check-in and boat departure is at Ma'alaea Harbor, which is conveniently located in Central Maui and is Maui's primary harbor. It is about 10-20 minutes from Kihei, 25-30 minutes from Wailea, 30 minutes from Kaanapali, or 40 minutes from Kapalua.

The primary large parking lot, in front of the Maui Ocean Center, is administered by a third party and is paid parking (~$2/hr, but free after 5 pm, subject to change), or free for Maui residents. 

If coming from a cruise ship docked in Kahului, it's only 15 minutes away. Transport is not provided, so you would need to take a taxi/Uber/Lyft or rent a car. For cruise ships, and the weekly Pride of America cruise ship specifically, if the ship schedule changes and you cannot make your booked cruise or reschedule, you would still receive a refund even if it's within the normal 48-hour non-cancellation period. TIP: check out all our top Pride of America excursions here.

The primary vessel is a spacious 65-foot catamaran, with guest capacity intentionally kept low for a less crowded experience. On some departures, the operator may use a newer sailing catamaran of similar size and quality; either way, the intimate group size and overall dinner cruise experience remain comparable.

If you have a vessel preference, feel free to note it at checkout, and we can look into adjusting your date if needed.
