Sunset Cocktail Cruise FAQ

What should I wear and bring?

Wear something comfortable! Flip-flops or sandals are recommended for easy removal, as all footwear will be collected and placed in a bin during the trip. You may also want a light jacket or cardigan, as it will get a little chillier on the water. Be sure to bring your ID if you’ll be enjoying any alcoholic beverages and sea sickness medication if needed.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations made 24 hours before departure will receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 24 hours of departure are not subject to refund. All cutoff times are based on local Hawaiian time.

About Sea Maui

We like to give you a sense of the crew based on our experience and with all the snorkel tours in Hawaii it can be hard to provide a truly unique experience, but Sea Maui hits it out of the park. And honestly, to give you a true sense of the culture of Sea Maui and the crew, they say it best:

At Sea Maui, we like to do things just a little differently than the rest. For starters, we’re more like your extended family or new best friends once you’re on board. You’re here to have a good time, learn about the ocean, Maui, whales (seasonal) and all that good stuff. We’re not operated by the corporate suits; we’re a team of like-minded, fun-going, salty sailors that absolutely love our jobs and all the cool people we get to meet! When you come on a trip with us we promise to do everything in our power to make sure you have the time of your life out on the water.
