Sunset & Moonlight Cruise

There's something magical about watching the sun dip into the Pacific while Honolulu's lights begin to twinkle across the shoreline. Tradewind Charters delivers this experience with intimate 2-hour private charters starting from $595, taking you out on sheltered waters where seasickness isn't a concern.

Your sunset & moonlight cruise Honolulu adventure begins as you sail past Oahu's dramatic coastline with panoramic views stretching in every direction. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and sea turtles – during whale season, you might even spot humpbacks breaching in the distance. As darkness settles in, the real show begins: Honolulu transforms into a sparkling jewel against the black ocean, followed by fireworks displays that look absolutely spectacular from your unique vantage point on the water.

Tradewind offers three vessels to match your group size. The sailing yacht handles up to 6 passengers ($595), the sailing catamaran accommodates up to 12 ($995), and their power catamaran takes 7-49 passengers ($750 per hour). All departures are from Kewalo Basin – just minutes from Waikiki – with timing perfectly coordinated for optimal sunset viewing.

Every charter includes a USCG licensed captain, non-alcoholic beverages, and a quality sound system. The yachts feature comfortable seating areas plus restrooms below deck. Plan to go barefoot on the smaller vessels, and definitely bring your camera – these views are Instagram gold.

Want to make it extra special? They offer optional limousine service for worry-free transportation, plus customized bar service with advance notice. Groups of 20 or more can arrange catering too. This sunset & moonlight cruise Honolulu experience combines the best of tropical sunsets, city lights, and ocean magic into one unforgettable evening on the water.
