Since 1978, we have been been proudly sailing the seas of Maui, whisking guests away on exhilarating snorkeling trips, romantic sunset cruises, and everything in between. We’re honored to play a part in introducing our visitors to the island as well as its waters; as stewards of our proud culture, we take that responsibility seriously.
Our vessel is the widest and most stable on the island, ensuring a comfortable ride for everyone. We provide top of the line equipment, food, drinks, and customer service. Alii Nui’s Sunset Sail is a unique sailing and dining experience. We set the sails and chase the sun as it sinks into the distant horizon on the Pacific Ocean. Toast the day’s end as South Maui’s dramatic shoreline is bathed in a palette of spectacular colors. The Royal Sunset Sail offers a bountiful buffet served inside our spacious cabin. This casual dining experience offers seating in the comfort of the cabin, or enjoy your meal top-side on our spacious deck.

AMAZING!!!! Captain Josh, Marcio, and the entire crew (forgot the names) were beyond amazing!! The boat was so clean and well maintained! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, they service from the entire team was exceptional - we were never left with an empty glass for a drink or a dirty plate in sight..The food was wonderful! If we ever visit Maui again, we would 100% book this same charter!

If anyone is reading this to learn more about the Alii Nui, stop what you’re doing and reserve your spots immediately! From the friendly staff (shoutout Jordan, Joe, Corey, Robert, and Gray) to the delicious food and drinks, the Alii Nui made an otherwise fantastic vacation into the best ever. Any trip to Maui would be incomplete without a voyage on the Alii Nui! So if you’re considering taking a ride on a charter, I would 1000% recommend choosing the Alii Nui.

It might make sense for the snorkel trip to use this company, but the luxury sunset tour isn't a good value. The food and drinks are really only average and there isn't really much to see and do since half the tour on the water is after sunset so it is dark by then. The crew tries hard to please except for one gal that was obviously not happy to be working, They also brought the boat to the dock early so the tour did not last the total 2.5 hours. Overall, the trip was ok but it just isn't worth the high cost of the tour. (We have been on many of the boats around the island to compare.)

The Alii Nui Royal Sunset Dinner Cruise was simply fantastic! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff was exceptional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options that pleased everyone. The drinks were top-notch and kept flowing smoothly. The boat itself was beautiful, providing stunning views of the sunset and the coastline. It was a truly lovely and memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delightful evening on the waters of Maui!

Our trip with Captain Bree who braved the wind and didn’t cancel like all of our others was perfect. She took us to a cove and anchored for our sunset sail. Sure some would be bothered but it was the perfect balance of comfort, safety and luxury. Logan kept our drinks coming. Robin, Corey and Ryan were A+++ service with our food, drinks and attitude. The catering was spot on. We didn’t see much whale wise and didn’t get to sail long, but we didn’t think we’d go out so it was a perfect night. Bree is so friendly and kind, I truly can’t say I’ve been on a better staffed sunset sail and we’ve been on Trilogy, pac whale, sea Maui, hula girl (close!). This team was the best service we’ve had on the island by far!

When you go on the Alii Nui you can expect a first class experience, and the Thanksgiving sunset cruise was no different The Captain and her crew are first class and ensured you had a safe, and fabulous trip. They do not book the Alii Nui to capacity, so everyone has room to have a very comfortable ride. The Thanksgiving feast was excellent, and the cocktails were amazing and the entire 2.5 hour excursion was awesome.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The boat was awesome! The food was fantastic. We were visiting Maui on our honeymoon and had a great time. The only thing that wasn’t great was the high winds but nothing that could be controlled. The staff did their best to race the winds and get us clear of it… they also provided blankets. Great time!

WOW. Just Wow. We are local residents and always choose Ali'i Nui when we have a special occasion to celebrate. It's definitely the best experience on the water on Maui, but they have definitely stepped up their game recently! We went on the Royal Sunset Dinner Sail and from start to finish it was an exquisite experience. There's plenty of seating and tables, lots of crew members who cater to your every need, and the most delicious food and drinks! The bar menu is extensive--they have everything, and it's the good stuff! They served plated appetizers, a main course buffet, and a plated dessert. We got to turn the engine off and sail, and we saw dolphins. It was a beautiful evening and I didn't want it to end. If you are a visitor, their shuttle bus will pick you up and take you home! Highly recommended!!

We did the Royal Sunset Sail and it was a great experience. They picked us up from our hotel so we did not have to worry about driving. The crew was very nice and knowledgeable. The boat was the perfect size and not too crowded. Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend.
