Cruise along the awe-inspiring coast of Maui in the most romantic dinner cruise setting in the area. This Pacific Whale Foundation dinner cruise is certainly one of the island’s most sought-after cruises. Cruising the waters from Kaanapali to Launiupoko with the West Maui Mountains as a backdrop, there is no other dinner cruise in Lahaina that offers such an enchanting evening and spectacular sunset while feasting on the finest cuisine.
With the West Maui Mountains’ tropical backdrop and array of colors against the night sky, a magical evening is sure to unfold. As the sun sets, the lights of Lahaina brighten the views from east to west as the stars begin to twinkle above. Yes, it’s paradise.
The Pacific Whale Foundation dinner cruise offers a fantastic dinner menu for the evening meal as well as dedicated table side service for an unforgettable VIP experience. Your evening starts with delicious pupus (“appetizers”) and mouthwatering cocktails from our onboard bar as we set sail.
Pacific Whale Foundation doesn’t prepare the menu items on shore for reheating, they’re proud to grill all of their offerings right there on the cruise itself, guaranteeing peak freshness for your delicious meal. They also feature almost entirely locally raised and grown ingredients for a true Maui local dining experience. You will have your choice of chimichurri marinated flat-iron steak, teriyaki glazed chicken with with a delicious papaya salsa, lemongrass curry marinated fresh Kauai shrimp, and a vegetarian option.
Your sides will consist of macadamia nut pesto char-grilled veggies or our famous coconut whipped Molokai purple potatoes. It is a four-course meal topped off with an amazing dessert of triple chocolate brownies served with fresh Kula strawberries. Three free drinks are included, so choose from a selection of local microbrew beer, wine, and island specialty drinks.
If you’re looking for great food and a great, laid back atmosphere the Pacific Whale Foundation dinner cruise is for you!
