About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sightsee659747317960 contributionsAwesome Sail!FANTASTIC. Crew were awesome and helpful. Sunset was amazing. Would highly recommend to couples, singles and families!Written January 18, 2025
- P4588BBjeffw0 contributionsBeautiful sunset cruise (perfect for an engagement proposal)We had an amazing trip with Trai and Matt. The sunset cruise was beautiful and we even went sailing. They also helped me preparing for engagement proposal, and made beautiful foto’s and video’s of it. My fiancé loved it! Thanks a lot for the amazing trip and memories!Written September 19, 2024
- bogey8310 contributionsFamily reunionWe got a 12 guest yacht for me and family. It was an amazing experience as staff was friendly and very accommodating. Highlight was sunset at the same time two wales came close to our boat. What a perfect moment!Written January 4, 2024
- JoySheppard0 contributionsThere was no boat! No show for private sunset sail!!This was the worst experience ever. Do no book with this tour operator. I booked a $700 private sunset sailing experience for my mothers 50th birthday as a surprise. We got a confirmation for the booking. We were told we needed to bring our own food and beverages, which was surprising given the cost of this experience. We picked up our picnic supplies and then caught an Uber to the dock. When we got there there was no boat! We sat there for an hour, with our plans for a special birthday evening ruined. Then we paid for an Uber back to the hotel. I emailed and called numerous times before the reservation and also while waiting at the dock. We never got any response from anyone. Luckily Trip Advisor got involved and they did refund my money within 24 hours, but still no feedback or replies of any kind from the tour operator, and also no reimbursement for the food and beverages we purchased, nor the two Uber rides. I’m still trying to get these reimbursed as I think that’s only fair. You can’t put a price on ruining my moms special day. You only turn 50 once. This operator should be banned from Trip Advisor, but sadly they will probably close this account and just open a new one. Be wary of booking with any operator that doesn’t already have a lot of five star reviews.Written April 15, 2023
- ambertM3167WV0 contributionsAmazing Sunset SailThis was such an amazing experience! Kayla and Tyre were exceptional hosts. They were kind, knowledgeable, and great conversationalists. When one of our party members got sea sick, they were super accommodating and sweet. We loved that we could hook up to a bluetooth speaker to listen to jams while relaxing. We also got to see some whales and it was incredible! Really great sunset sail. Definitely recommend!Written January 17, 2023
- Allie D0 contributionsGreat for families!Had a great time with the family sailing around Waikiki. The waters were too rough for young swimmers who still need life vests. Great time snorkeling and seeing turtles and a bunch of fish. We opted for the private tour with younger kids which did not disappoint. Sammy our first mate was great with them and our Captain made sure to engage them at every turn. Would definitely recommend for any family as they were very accommodating and explained to the kids all about sailing and the ocean.Written October 31, 2022
- sherryzhuang0 contributionsHorrible!Booked on a Thursday, had confirmation and everything, went to the pier 30 minutes early, no one there for us ! Called them said our schedule is on Friday (the next day), asked us if we’re ok to go on the Friday! Of course not ! On a trip everything is scheduled! We have plans! They keep telling us was not theirs problem, cause we book from a third party. Alright, if you guys want to have a guaranteed trip , don’t book from them, they will offer you any different days/times just not what you booked or planned.Written October 20, 2022
- Thomas W0 contributionsSailed with Captain Mike MickelwaitCaptain Mike is a wonderful instructor. We chartered his boat with him as captain on the leeward side of Oahu on a 3-4 day sail in December of 2019. He also gave me the ASA 105 test which I passed. I would highly recommend him. We anchored and swam every day and came into marinas to casually dine. Seeing the coast of Oahu from even 5 miles offshore allows you to imagine what the island looked like to seagoing voyagers hundreds and thousands of years ago. The fees were very reasonable. We hope to return for further sailing.Written September 22, 2022
- jme95800 contributionsGreat experience sailing/snorkelingWe had a great time with Perry and Kylie. They were professional and knowledgeable. We saw spinner dolphins and sea turtles. Would definitely go again.Written July 31, 2022
- hannahmT3639TF0 contributionsAwesome crew. Great experience!We had so much fun snorkeling and sailing! 10/10 experience. Perry and Tai were so helpful and fun. They brought us to a fantastic snorkeling spot and even helped some of us learn how to free-dive. Would recommend it to everyone looking for an awesome day adventure in Waikiki!Written June 16, 2022
- carlyburwell110 contributionsAmazing !!!!We had a 12 person group and we chartered a private monohull for four hours. The price was very fair and the views were breathtaking. Captain Perry and first mate Ty were fantastic. They took us snorkeling where we saw tons of turtles and they even took us sailing. They were amazing and we brought food and drinks with us on the boat. AMAZING experience and our group would definitely do it again!!!Written June 9, 2022
- asbains0 contributionsGreat Experience / Epic Sunset ViewsThe boat cruise was great and the views at sunset were amazing. The crew (Captain Pary and Tai) were amazing - very helpful and polite. Overall a great experience.Written April 4, 2022
- 401benc0 contributionsHighlight of Hawaii!We loved the whole thing! Saw lots of whales and turtles and fish, enjoyed the relaxing sailing and also loved the snorkelling! Highlight of our time in Hawaii so far.Written March 8, 2022
- Littleworldtraveler0 contributionsBest spent time in Oahu!We had an absolutely fabulous time on our sailing adventure! Capitan Perry and First-mate Ty were wonderful! They tailored our trip time to what worked for us based on the weather, conditions, and our 6 yr old! We saw turtles while snorkeling, whales and dolphins while out at sea (although I’m told that it’s rare to get all 3 in one trip!!) but honestly being on the water on the boat all to ourselves was just lovely and relaxing. (A needed break from the crowds of tourists at Waikiki!!) The weather and sea life obviously made it more even more special but the boat, crew and experience were right up our alley. We went in at 8am in the morning when the water was calm - so we really couldn’t “sail” but we didn’t mind just motoring - we got out pretty far even with the snorkeling excursion. It is was the highlight of our trip!Written February 22, 2022
- Ash4family0 contributionsSnorkeling location was bare with nothing to see but the ground.Contemplated leaving this review but giving an honest opinion for other families in search of a private snorkel tour. Pros: price was great for 3 hours $850 View was great. Cons: sailboat was slower and sways more than a larger boat which caused all 7 of us to have different degrees on seasickness. To the point of two of us throwing up and feeling nauseous for days after. Not the company’s fault but a good piece of info for anyone not familiar with being on a smaller boat. The slower sail also cuts into time of snorkeling. My main issue was the location we were dropped off was choppy and bare. Although we were told seeing sea-life wasn’t guaranteed I had certainly thought a private tour would take us somewhere worth seeing. We sailed 20-30 min away, was given no pointers for first time snorkelers, and then capt. Mike stayed on his phone while we tried to keep close to the boat in the choppy water. A little unnerving when you’re unfamiliar and have children snorkeling for the first time. Overall I had wished we chose something else to spend our money and day on.Written October 1, 2021

We had Michele and Mike for a four hour sunset sail. We had our family ranging in age from six to 73 and everyone had a lovely time. Michele was a huge source of energy - so enthusiastic. We had a fun sail with some dolphins that came to swim alongside, and a chance to anchor and swim in Turtle Canyon. We brought our own food to cook on the propane grill and our drinks. We topped the afternoon off with a peaceful cruise back to the harbor into the sunset. This isn’t a big operation but that’s the charm of a beautiful boat (Tefiti - 50’) with a friendly crew, where you’re buying a great, relaxing sailing charter.

What to do with a dozen friends all in town at once? Our sunset sail was wonderful! Everyone had a lovely time, enjoying the beautiful skyline and horizon. The highlight of the trip was our close sighting of humpback whales! They were less than 30 yards away at times - it's hard to say whether the kids or the adults were more excited!
The crew was very helpful and the boat Tefiti (for sailing nerds) is beautiful, clean, in perfect condition, and amazingly set up for singlehanding - almost everything is automated to the point she almost sails herself. Not a spot of rust anywhere - she clearly gets a lot of TLC!

Our family of 10 rented the boat originally for two hours to take my husband's ashes out to Diamond Head and scatter them in the ocean he loved so much and sailed so often. It was a Memory that the entire family will cherish forever. Michele and our captain couldn't have been more accommodating. After we put his ashes into the water, we asked if it would be possible to stay out an extra hour so that we could all swim in the waters off Waikiki...and the two of them were totally good with that! Such a fun time after such an emotional day for us all. Michele was so good with the two youngsters we had with us...even providing brand-new life jackets for them...ages 6 + 7! It was sunset as we came into the channel...docking was a picture perfect ending to the afternoon. Thank you so much! We loved it and highly recommend this team for a perfect sail aboard the Beneteau 50 Te Fiti!
