A sunset cruise is an opportunity to experience the island in a whole new way as you sail along the Maui shore in a luxury catamaran. Sea Maui in Lahaina, HI, provides this not-be-missed activity, returning on December 15 after being temporarily halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is what you need to know about the cruise, as well as some facts about the breathtaking scenes Maui has to offer.

Unique Sailing & Dining Experience

You will be sailing on the Sea Maui III, a 65-foot, newly restored luxury catamaran. Enjoy awe-inspiring panoramic views of the islands during the golden light of sunset. Sip a cocktail or beer from the comfort of the cabin or the open-air deck as you take in the beautiful sights.

Be sure to bring your appetite, as executive Chef Joey Macadangdang has prepared a custom menu served buffet style specifically for the sunset cruise. You will have a choice of salads; main dishes consisting of fresh fish, beef, chicken, or vegetables; a selection of sides; and brownies for dessert.

Remarkable Sunsets

Hawaiian sunsets are some of the most spectacular sights you'll ever witness. The blazing colors are brighter here than in most other parts of the world. This is because more light penetrates the atmosphere during this period than at different times of the day. Tradewinds move dust across the island from east to west, making the sunset clearer, brighter, and more colorful than the sunrise.

Natural humidity heats the air, which helps scatter and intensify the light. You'll likely notice deep reds in the Hawaiian sunsets because the color has long wavelengths that are the least scattered. As the sun sets, there are no obstructions to get in the way, resulting in a clear, pristine view and a more direct encounter with the setting sun.
