About North Shore Catamaran - Sunset Sail
Sail along Oahu's North Shore aboard Ho'o Nanea on a 2-hour sunset cruise with warm evening light, coastal views, snacks and refreshments.
Settle onto a spacious 40-foot catamaran and trace Oahu's fabled North Shore as the late-day sun paints sea cliffs gold. Trade winds fill the sails, the ocean slips quietly beneath the twin hulls, and you have two unrushed hours to soak in the view while the sky shifts from pink to deep indigo. From May through mid-December this is pure sunset magic; during winter you might also spot humpback whales cruising the horizon.
Find a comfy seat on the forward trampolines or relax in the shaded cockpit where light snacks and chilled refreshments are ready whenever you are. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage along—the crew is happy to stow it on ice until the perfect sunset toast.
