Sunset & Moonlight Cruise

The Sunset and Moonlight Cruise by Tradewind Charters departs from Kewalo Basin, a short distance from Waikiki, and takes small parties or larger groups out on a private sailing yacht or catamaran along the Oahu coastline. The route follows the shore past Diamond Head during golden hour, continues into twilight as Honolulu's city lights come on, and extends into a calm moonlit sail before returning to harbor. A USCG licensed captain and crew are aboard for the trip.

Non-alcoholic beverages, stereo sound, and restrooms below deck are included. Alcohol is not part of the base package, though customized bar options can be arranged in advance. Catering carries separate terms. Dress comfortably for an evening on the water, and plan to go barefoot on the smaller vessels. Bringing a camera is recommended. The operator notes that the waters are sheltered and smooth, which can be helpful for anyone concerned about motion sickness. The operator will reach out after booking to coordinate timing around the sunset.
