Best Catamaran Sail in Waikiki!
This is by far, the best catamaran sail in Waikiki! I grew up here and have brought my kids back 6 times. We usually go on another catamaran but they weren’t sailing on the day we wanted to go. The staff and crew of the Mai Tai were polite and professional and got us on their 3:00PM sail. It’s 90 minutes with all drinks included. They play Hawaiian music during the sail and talk to everyone. They made us feel like family and definitely showed us the Aloha spirit. We saw turtles and dolphins during our sail. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the catamaran is amazing. It was $79 for the sail and worth every penny!
We booked this through Hula's Bar as they have a weekly charter with them. Awesome Crew, lots of cheap (for Waikiki) booze that is cash only. Fantastic views, great music, and had a really great time. My hat blew off and the Skipper turned the boat around quickly and got it! I was shocked! Will definitely do this again when we come back!
A highlight of our Hawaii trip for sure. The drinks were strong, the staff is very friendly. We had a great time, sailing out onto the ocean to catch an amazing sunset. Would recommend for any occasion, especially a celebration (birthday, anniversary, etc.) One of the most beautiful nights of our trip, that sunset just cant be beat
Ryan was an AMAZING First Mate! The whole crew was awesome. The Mai Tai Catamaran is the best cruise on Oahu. Me and my friends always choose them when we want to have a fun get together on the water enjoying the beautiful views.
Awesome crew!!! Beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Delicious $5 Mai Tais and $3 for other drinks! You can’t beat that. Afternoon cruise was 1.5 hours. Saw many sea turtles. Free to sit wherever and roam around the boat. Depending on where you sit, you may get wet :)
Fun, fun, fun in the sun! We - myself, my wife, our daughter, our granddaughter, and her friend truly enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Maita'i. The mai tai's were flowing, the music was beating, and the boat was rocking. The captain and his first mate were funny, engaging, and were the best hosts. The weather was perfect and the sunset was amazing. We highly recommend a trip on the Maita's Catamaran.

Overall rating
Super fun time and great view if Diamond Head, also loved the crew!
Lots of fun and relaxation on a short 1.5 hour afternoon cruise. Saw hummingbird fish and turtles. Got splashed by the waves and enjoyed our time out on the water
Fun afternoon sail!
It was the perfect day to go sailing. It was raining a lot for the past couple days so I was happy that the weather cleared up when we went. Sunny weather, relaxing Hawaiian music playing while sipping on Maitais. A wond ... erful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. For the toilet, it is your standard boat toilet where you have to go down a ladder through a narrow tunnel to get to the toilet. Luckily, I didn't drink too much so I didn't have to use the bathroom during our 90-minute sail. Overall, I had a great time and would love to go again!

Enjoy spectacular photo opportunities with views of Honolulu, Waikiki and Diamond Head. Relax on the spacious sundeck while sipping a refreshing beverage of your choice (e.g. beer, tropical cocktail, wine, juice or soft drink).
The Maita'i is a state-of-the-art 44-foot catamaran that seats 47 passengers comfortably. It is United States Coast Guard inspected and certified. Choose from the following four Oahu sailing adventures.
Tradewinds Sail
Experience a classic sailing adventure along Waikiki Beach. This tradewinds sail shows you what the modern and ultra-sleek Maita'i catamaran can do! The wind and waves rush by while you enjoy the spectacular views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Unwind with a tropical drink, enjoy the ocean breeze and look out for marine life, including turtles and humpback whales during the winter whale watch season.
Sunset Sail
Looking for something a bit more romantic? Then come aboard for Maita'i Catamaran's sunset sail. Leave your shoes behind, barefoot board right on Waikiki Beach, sail out through the surf line and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. Sit back and enjoy the island's beauty and watch the sun dip below the horizon coloring the ocean and sky in a rainbow of colors. Sip a beer, wine or tropical cocktail while marveling at Oahu's scenic south shore.
Friday Fireworks Sail
Sail by the light of the moon while the stars guide your way on this romantic evening sail along Waikiki Beach. Enjoy the views of the city night lights in the distance as you glide across the deep blue sea with Mahina (Hawaiian for "moon"). It's a feeling unlike any other! This sail comes complete with the usual beverages, but with the magical night sky as the backdrop. With this tour running only on Fridays (and other special nights), it's the perfect way to watch Waikiki's Friday night fireworks.

Super nice and scenic sail from Waikiki beach out past Diamond Head for about 1.5 hours. The crew was great and served up the "best MaiTai's on a boat in Waikiki" or say they say. Drinks were quite reasonable and we had a great time. The Maita'i catamaran staff helped me out a lot as Groupon totally messed up our booking.
