Crew was very nice and helpful. They helped grandma get on the boat with her walker and provided box to take home leftovers. Drinks were good and pork rib fell off the bone. If you have kids, bring something as they do not have kid specific food and mine didn't like the adult food. Live guitarist was excellent, had an amazing voice and personality. He played the classics and got everyone dancing the electric slide. The tour was informational, learned about captain cook and the history in the area. If you are prone to seasickness, take a Dramamine because it can get choppy.

Aloha keelahm, Mahalo for joining us and taking the time to write such a lovely account of your experience with us! A quick word about Dramamine. Conditions are typically very lovely due to our two giant mountains Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa shielding us. That said, some folks need dramamine regardless. If that's you or you think that maybe you might be effected by the "motion of the ocean" it's best to take a Dramamine prior to boarding. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's impossible to know and for that reason we do sell Dramamine in our retail store and on the vessel. We also have ginger drinks on board that help. The best news is that the vast majority do not experience sea sickness. Our 65' rigid hull catamaran is quite smooth. Again, mahalo for your five star review!

Met a lot of fun people and learned history about Hawaii. Awesome time and food. However parking was not accessible for guests who needed. I would strongly suggest to have accessible parking

Beautiful evening, good food and drinks! Gorgeous views, fun music and entertainer, nice staff! We arrived late(last to board!) due to confusing directions, quite a walk to dock for our disabled friend, and we could not get a table for 6. We sat in front of boat near bar and ate at bar tables. We still had fun!
