- I2732JYanthonyg0 contributionsChampagne Sunset Sail.Awesome time. Captain and crew were very personable. It felt more like we were enjoying an evening on the ocean with relatives.Written June 28, 2023
- X7676AKryann0 contributionsExcellent crew, wonderful viewsWonderful sailing trip. We didn't get much wind, but the crew made it worth our while with complimentary beverages, friendly conversation, and our choice of where on the boat to enjoy the views. On the return trip we crossed the path of a pod of dolphins, making the entire trip worth our while and leaving us with plenty of pictures!Written June 22, 2023
- kbrand010 contributionsDon't miss this one!This was AMAZING!!! A last minute add on as we had to kill time before our flight home and didn't want to get in the ocean again. Beautiful day, beautiful boat, smooth sailing, could have stayed aboard all day!!Written June 19, 2023
- F6912GVjulieo0 contributionsPeacefulBeautiful and peaceful! Relaxing way to be on the water. The captain and crew were very friendly and accommodating.Written June 16, 2023
- DrSantucci0 contributionsElegant SailingGreat afternoon sale. The captain kept the boat steady - which my wife appreciated. Crew were friendly and responsive. Had a great time!Written June 13, 2023
- jennyb07770 contributionsA highlight of Maui experiencesI loved this ride and our 2 staff! Small group of people and great service on this very relaxing, laid back ride. There isn't much shade so just plan for that, but in no way would I be detoured from going! It was a highlight in our 4 days in Maui!Written May 29, 2023
- 418smith0 contributionsGood time out on the Scotch Mist.This was a pleasant sunset sail on the single hull sailboat, Scotch Mist. We liked the limited number of people (22). Although the wind was light, the Skipper (Skeeter) and 1st mate (Lauren) were friendly and entertaining. You had a choice of wine, beer, soft drinks or water. Refills were available. It was a memorable way to spend the evening in beautiful Maui on the water.Written May 25, 2023
- harrym8140 contributionsMaui sailingSaw whales! Very hard to just stand up on the bouncing sail boat. Drinks flowed fast so loved that. Tight setting area. Crew Steve & Lauren were great. Needed folding chair when making us take our shoes off.Written May 12, 2023
- marisamP6303VI0 contributionsGreat experience!Sunset cruise was really nice! We even saw whales during our cruise. The price seemed a little steep given you are only getting Korbel champagne and a few macadamia nut chocolates. The sailboat was nice, a little bit of a tight fit since there were 22-24 of us. Overall I would’ve selected a catermeran instead of a sailboat since I have done both, but I do recommend this if you’ve never done a sunset cruise. The staff was friendly and helpful. Bring snacks since it’s during dinner time!Written May 5, 2023
- sandiAustin20230 contributionsWhale watching afternoonWe took several whale trips while here in Maui - this was okay - the staff was amazing and knowledgeable - and the price was right - but the raft trip we took was just better for me. I would go again, but not on such a large boat. We saw whales tho! And the staff knew so much - this was just the 3rd one i took and it was my least fav.Written April 14, 2023
- X5760FWkatherines0 contributionsScotch Mist is a beautiful sailBeautiful sailing experience with a competent and friendly crew. It's a great way to see the mountains behind Lahaina and the deep blue water with no motors going and the breezes keeping us cool. Do bring a cushion because sitting on the deck for a couple of hours can be uncomfortable.Written April 12, 2023
- johnhZ8125GP0 contributionsSerenityThe crew Captain Steve and first mate Lauren were very Professional. My mother-in- law was a bit timid before going out for a day sail. After the sails were up and we were gliding along all her fears melted away. No doubt the calm conditions and the friendly crew will Be the catalyst for a new sailing enthusiast!Written March 31, 2023

Absolutely the best excursion anyone could have ever wanted. The Captain and Crew Kiki and Justin were just outstanding taking extreme care of everyone on board. The continental breakfast was delicious and just what we needed to start our day. Out trip out was informative and beautiful all questions answered and stories entertaining. The Music choices were just perfect for this older couple was Captains choice and just right down our ally, classic rock. The Crater was exactly what we were looking for plenty, and I mean plenty of colorful fish with crystal clear water. Can't say enough about the Crew and how we were treated smiles and happy faces the whole day. Maybe it's because we were older than most onboard, but it was greatly appreciated and don't feel it was forced at all. Lunch was delicious. And I will tell you the sail back was probably as good as the snorkeling, reached 13 knots and the sea spray got us all and was just delightful. Is we had enough time I would have surely booked it for a second time, we had so much fun. One thing I will warn everyone the parking area is very confusing when we returned our car had been towed because we couldn't understand the parking rules, I would make sure you understand the parking rules clearly. You have to guess how long you're going to be on your tour but don't be a minute late the tow truck just lurks in the lot for a $254. tow fee and you have to go way out of the way to get it back (CASH is less surprise, surprise) as shady an operation as there ever was. And thats from someone where we have a show about the horrors of parking in the big city Philadelphia. Two other cars were also towed when we went to pick ours up. The lot was virtually empty, tourist trap for sure and the phone # was busy. Great day on the ocean and a horrible end back on land. Maui should think better about trapping tourists with this shady enterprise. We can't recommend Sail Maui any stronger, wish they sold T shirts.

Everything really was our favorite. Snorkeling, seeing turtles and fish swimming, watching whales, meeting Captain Skeeter, Skipper Jason, and international people from New York City. Wine! Great lunch!

This has gotta be one of the best snorkeling trips I’ve ever experienced. The waves were nice and calm which allowed me to not get sea sick. The fish were plentiful, in great variety and vibrant. The lunch that was served was excellent and there was enough food for snacks later. All props to Captain Steve and first mate Nate as they made this voyage an unforgettable one.

Mahalo for the 5 star review and kind words. Glad you had
a great snorkel trip to start your day. Will pass along the food review to our caterer--they work hard especially with the new requirements for the pandemic. See you all on your next Maui trip.

I am writing this because of an attitude of complete indifference that the owners displayed when canceling our sailing tour with only an email (at 7:30 the night before) via email. When we read the email the next morning standing at their slip, it didn’t even say canceled. It said to call. So odd they didn’t take the time to call the one customer they had booked. It is our last day in Maui & we checked out & drove 45 minutes to stand at a closed business. He said it was not worth it to bring us out because no one else signed up and then offered another tour some other day. He said he texted us (not true) when all he really needed to do was call. We received no text. He literally could care less. I was so excited to introduce my new wife to sailing. Being we fly out this afternoon and also checked out of our hotel early for this trip, we are now just sitting in town trying to figure out what to do. Where I come from, you don’t do business like that. They could really care less. I would avoid this business if possible. Clearly they don’t care if they waste your time. It’s all about the money.

Jason--my apology for the breakdown in communication. Our POS automatically sends emails and texts tothe cell phones of our guests WHEN we have access to that info from the larger booking companies if they provide that info and guests lodging location to us; but most time they do NOT. This complicates contacting guests in the event of cancellations for weather, storm warnings, mechanical problem or even the very infrequent single party booking--all of which require transfers to another cruise or day. When we have the guest info, our Reservation Dept, calls and texts directly to the guest.--not computer generated. We really try to get in touch. Sorry for the breakdown in communication this time. Aloha.

We have gone out with scotch mist numerous times and have always had a truly amazing time. We booked fairly far in advance and were looking forward to bringing our son for the first time. Amazed, mad, disappointed and gobsmacked are the words I would use right now to describe how I feel. I received a text at 4:27 pm asking me to call a random number about my snorkel tour at 8:30 am. I ended up calling a generic line where they informed me our tour was canceled and they “didn’t know why and to refund our money or maybe they could take us out next Wednesday.” The weather is supposed to be gorgeous so that couldn’t be it. I asked for a number I could call to talk directly to them…if it was a number of people going issue I was ready to pay for whatever extra they needed etc. Shocking they closed at 4:00pm so there was no one to talk to. Sadly we won’t get to introduce our son to the scotch mist….and unfortunately they lost a loyal customer and referral. If there was a good reason we are understanding people….but the whole bummer to be you attitude with no explanation, no attempt to make it right just pushed my disappointment honestly to mad.

Captain Skeeter and Lauren selected a great snorkel spot for us! Saw turtles, and eel and cool fish. Had a yummy box lunch and Lauren provided great service making sure everyone had drinks and whatever was needed. Best part of the day was seeing a Mama and baby whale breeching right by the boat. Wonderful only having 8 passengers and Skeeter customized our time based on what the group wanted to do. Great day on the water!

The Captain showed up just before time to leave. The tide was going out and the keel was too deep to get the boat out. Obviously, the captain knew what the tides would be that morning. He cancelled the trip. We were told we’d get a refund, but it has not happened yet.

Glad your family had a great morning on the Snorkel Sail aboard Scotch Mist--snorkeling, food and beverages and a sail back along the Maui Coast make for a super excursion. Glad you were with us. Come back on your next trip to Maui!!! )I better our Marketing Rep to the response.)

The sailing was quiet and beautiful with multiple whale sightings. Appreciated the motorless-quiet of sailing. The crew were engaging and helpful; water and snacks quite nice. The snorkeling was wonderful; saw many green sea turtles. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. Would go again in a heartbeat.
