Alii Nui Catamaran’s Signature Experiences in Maui

The brilliantly blue waters of Maui are well-loved for their year-round warm temperatures and thriving underwater sea life; as the widest catamaran on Maui, we use our winds to our advantage to sail comfortably. We’re honored to sail these waters daily, on semi-private voyages that range from thrilling snorkeling and diving excursions to leisurely sunset cruises and whale watching. Regardless of which adventure you choose, one thing is true across all Alii Nui voyages—we’ll make it an experience that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

• Royal Sunset Sail – For sweethearts & sun-seekers (2.5 hrs) As the gentle glow of Maui’s signature sunset settles over the horizon, toast to the day’s end aboard a one-of-a-kind luxury catamaran that offers a full buffet dinner and open bar with top-shelf wine, beer, and spirits.

• Molokini Deluxe Snorkel – The best of Maui awaits (5 hrs) Embark on your seafaring journey with Alii Nui, a snorkeling expedition that offers a little bit of everything. After departing Ma’alaea Harbor, we’ll aim for Molokini crater, giving you the chance to snorkel in pristine, crystal-clear waters. A second stop at Turtle Town, a known resting spot for resident Honu, will round out a perfect morning before returning home.

• Makani Sunset Sail – A sunset sail fit for the entire family (2 hrs) Head out to sea with your favorite travel companions as the sun begins its descent into the horizon, painting the skies above Hawaii in their signature gold-and-magenta glow. Accompanied by a spread of upscale hot and cold appetizers, as well as a premium open bar, the Makani Sunset Sail invites you to celebrate the one-of-a-kind beauty of Maui with your closest loved ones.

• Afternoon Turtle Snorkel – Short, sweet, and straight to the turtles (3 hrs) The breezy afternoon snorkel excursion heads directly to the second longest continuous reef on Maui, home to a healthy population of native Hawaiian Honu. You’ll get the chance to swim near these gentle creatures, from a safe distance, as they glide over the vibrant beds of coral.

• Scuba Diving – Get up close with Maui’s underwater world – Our dive charters offer the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty that lies under the sea, with opportunities for certified divers of all experience levels. We’ll take you to Molokini, where visibility averages about 100+ feet, then head to Turtle Town, nestled at the base of Pu’u Olai near Makena State Park. * Proof of Open Water or SCUBA Diver Certification is required. Divers must have logged a recent dive in the last 3 years.*

• Whale Watching – Awe-inspiring glimpse at Hawaii’s majestic inhabitants (2 hrs) Every December through April, humpback whales return to the shallow and warm waters of Maui. We’ll take you on a dedicated whale-watching adventure, experiencing these amazing wild animals in their natural habitat. We hope to catch a glimpse of them swimming, singing, and occasionally leaping into the air for a few moments of breathtaking natural beauty.
