About Sunset Cruises
There are few more beautiful ways to end a Big Island day than watching the sun sink below the Pacific horizon from the deck of a sailboat or catamaran cruising along the Kona Coast. Sunset cruises combine stunning golden-hour scenery with relaxed onboard hospitality — cocktails, appetizers, and the company of the open ocean.
Big Island sunset cruises depart from Kona, Waikoloa, and Kawaihae harbors in the late afternoon, heading along the coastline as the light softens and the sky transforms through shades of gold, orange, pink, and purple. Most cruises include complimentary beverages (beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options), pupus (appetizers), and attentive crew service.
Vessel options range from intimate sailing catamarans carrying 20-30 guests to larger deck boats accommodating bigger groups. Some sunset cruises combine the sail with snorkeling earlier in the evening, while others focus entirely on the sunset experience with music, commentary about the coastline, and marine wildlife spotting — dolphins and seasonal whales are commonly seen.
For special occasions — anniversaries, proposals, or simply a romantic evening — private sunset charters offer an exclusive experience with a dedicated crew, customized catering, and the flexibility to choose your own route and timeline.
