Makani Catamaran Sail
A $49.00 value, included in the Go Oahu Card!
Travel the open waters of the Pacific in style during this luxurious two-hour cruise. You'll be amazed at how easily this catamaran slices through waves while still offering an ultra-comfortable ride. Choose either a breakfast or an afternoon sail.
Makani is Hawaii’s #1 sailing adventure, so get out into the open waters of the Pacific Ocean aboard this awesome Catamaran! Choose from either a breakfast sail with free donuts, juice, and fresh fruit, or an afternoon sail, with snacks and beverages available for purchase! Both cruises last approximately two hours and offer a great way to see the stunning coastal waters that draw in millions of tourists and are the envy of countless postcard-recipients each year!
The U.S. Coast Guard-certified Makani is the safest passenger vessel of its kind. This world-class catamaran offers a full bar, covered cabin seating area, state-of-the-art stereo surround sound system, LCD TV, sunbathing net areas, and pilothouse seating.
The crew will take you along Oahu's shores, during which time you should be alert for dolphins, flying fish, sea turtles, and, during the winter migration season, humpback whales! The Makani Catamaran offerings are a huge hit with customers, and consistently receive excellent reviews from people who enjoy the experience of sailing through the clear blue waters and spotting marine life in action.

Driving Directions
Public Transportation
Please be aware that food is only included on the morning breakfast sail. Food and snacks are available on the afternoon sail for an additional cost. Vegetarian food options are available, but make sure you call ahead, and, for good measure, double check before boarding. There is a cash bar on all cruises.
One customer who has sailed with Makani a few times offers this advice: "Do bring a light sweater and be prepared to sit outside (bring sunscreen). The captain does normally keep the ride smooth … if you do tend to get seasick, sit outside, not inside."
Makani Catamaran has been in operation for several years, and was constructed in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The yacht features top-of-the-line construction, and exists thanks to the ingenuity of a skilled investment group including Captain Jon Jepson and architect Dave Wallworth, with the help of Gold Coast Yachts. This impressive yacht is worth $1.8 million; the carbon fiber mast alone coming in at $400,000. After the ship was completed in 2005, the crew set sail for Honolulu, sailing over 8,000 miles and passing through the Panama Canal, skirting the coast of Central America and heading northwest via Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She now calls Kewalo Basin home in lovely Honolulu, and is just waiting for you to take a spin on her beautiful decks, thanks to the exciting cruise options brought to you by Makani. All aboard!
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
Awesome staff!! My friend and I came in Sept and we opted for the snorkel for $15 additional with the Go Oahu card, SO WORTH IT! Both were first timers and the staff was fun and helpful. We were lucky, only 10 guests on a boat made for 75, it was so much fun, out in the middle of the ocean snorkeling... can't be beat.

from Orange, Ca on 9/20/2010Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We did the $15 Turtle breakfast sail combo, we had such a great time that we wanted to do it again. Every time we tried to call and book for another day they kept giving us different excusses, first they said we need 15 people to do the sail and we only have 2 people on the waiting list and we had a big group on 10 people. Then they said the boat was having some stuff done to it. Really wish we could have done it again. On the boat was fun, the food was just little snacks, donuts and fruit nothing big and 2 free drinks and the drinks were nice and strong. My husband and I took my daughter in the water and the staff was very nice and helpful. We saw fish and turtle a great morning. I would recommend booking on more than one day just in case they cancel on you.

from Sacramento, Ca on 9/19/2010Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We paid the extra $15 and did the breakfast sail and it was well worth it. We had a 3.5 year old and 18 mo old and the whole family took dramamine before we got on the boat an had no problems. There was even a nice couple on the boat that watched our kids while my husband and I snorkeled together. The sail was beautiful and my kids loved it! They especially loved all the donuts, me not so much...

from Honolulu, HI on 9/4/2010Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
My parents visited and I decided to take them on a sail. I had previously sailed with Makani before when a friend visited, and it was lovely. I made a reservation on Friday, with one vegetarian meal (as offered on the sail). I called to CONFIRM the vegetarian meal the following Tuesday, and on Friday when we checked in I confirmed again that there was a vegetarian meal. I got "yes" all three times. As you can already guess, there was nothing my mother was able to eat on the boat except some potatoes (she's vegetarian for religious reasons). She is diabetic, and cannot skip meals, which is why I went through the time to ENSURE a meal for her by calling to confirm. They assured me it was recorded and would be taken care of. I would NOT have booked this Dinner and Sunset cruise if I had known that one of our party of four would not be having dinner, even though the cost of the meal is included in the price. I am a local with many friend and family visitors, and I will never recommend them to anyone like I did with my parents. The sheer amount of incompetence to make this mistake is mind-blowing. I tried to see if they would offer a comp afternoon sail for just my parents, and they completely ignored me.

from Seaman, ohio on 9/1/2010Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
If your in Oahu, this is a MUST!!! Amazing!!! The staff was amazing, the free breakfast was very nice, not too much, but just enough,the view....I just can't explain how wonderful it was! Captain John is very down to earth and really seemed like he enjoys conversing with you and everyone else. If you have the Oahu card then it is unlimited the amount of times you can use it. We did not know this but we do now and plan to take advantage of this when we return in August!!!! The card almost pays for itself with this cruise!

My husband and I went on the breakfast sail and it was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. We spotted and guided beside some dolphins and sea turtles. It was such a relaxing way to see Waikiki.

Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We scheduled the morning snorkel with sailing a month in advance. When we arrived there, the snorkel was canceled. They didn't even bother notifying us to reschedule. I even arranged my schedule around for this event. What a shame!

from Pasadena, CA on 6/3/2010Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
My only regret about the catamaran is that we didn't do it earlier during our trip. Otherwise, I would have booked another catamaran ride. We did a breakfast sail which included a breakfast of donuts and fresh fruit and 2 tickets for drinks (bottled water, soda, juice, etc.) You can purchase alcohol on the boat as well. The staff were very friendly and made the ride enjoyable. We didn't see any whales or dolphins but did see a few sea turtles. The views from the catamaran are AH-MAZING! Loved Loved Loved this ride!

Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We had scheduled a morning snorkel/catamaran cruise a month in advance. The day before we left, they called and said they had to cancel but gave plenty of rescheduling times. We signed up for 2 more and both were canceled due to lack of participation. They did say we could go on an evening sail if we wanted to pay 35 dollars/person. We did not feel that was right given the 3 prior cancellations in the week we were there. Needless to say, we did not get to experience the catamaran. I am sure it would've been great had they not canceled three times.
