We were greeted by our guides Kevin and Jamie. The slip was easy to find. The sail was the afternoon sail. Weather was great. Saw lots of whales as it is approaching whale season. Guides were very knowledgeable. There's no shade on the sailboat and we did not bring sunscreen. That would be the only negative for our trip. Otherwise everything was wonderful. I would definitely recommend and I would love to book this again.

The sail was nice, the crew was very friendly and helpful, lots of beverages were offered. Special treat we encountered a couple of Spinner Dolphin pods, we were lucky to have the chance to see them.

There were about 10 of us...

John_D, Jun 2023

There were about 10 of us besides the 2 crew aboard. We did not feel crowded at all. My wife and I had lots of privacy to talk, relax and enjoy the view. Simple sail with refreshments up and down the coast. We'd definitely do it again.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Relaxing trip was...

Glenda_P, Jun 2023

Relaxing trip was disappointed not to see any sea life. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Providing drinks was a plus may consider offering snacks.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Daniel_G, May 2023

They canceled the trip...

Christine_B, May 2023

Oh happy place!

Mike_P, Apr 2023

Loved our sail on a calm day. Very relaxing! Lauren and Steve were fabulous, even provided beverage service up on the deck.

Relaxing and fun with fantastic views, highly recommend this activity

Roxana_I, Apr 2023

The views of the water and coastline were breathtaking. The captain and crew were very friendly, accommodating, thoughtful and safety conscious. A few relaxing hours soaking up the sun on the water was a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Great two hour sail

derek_f, Apr 2023

Only about ten passengers so plenty of room to enjoy the 50’ sailboat which did some real sailing instead of the typical motoring. We had the privilege of being surrounded by a large pod of spinner dolphins for most of the trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for joining us on the Scotch Mist. We are so glad that you enjoyed your sailing adventure! And seeing our Maui sealife is always a treat! We look forward to welcoming you back again someday! Mahalo!!

No better way to relax in Maui!

Stephen_C, Mar 2023

Listening to Capt Steve talk about sailing these waters, and details about the humpback whales we were so fortunate to watch. Loved being under sail with no motor noise, a steady breeze, and the very obvious skill of Capt and 1st mate, Jason. Perfect afternoon.

Great hosts, personable...

Beth_B, Feb 2023

Great hosts, personable and knowledgeable about the area. We were there in February and saw quite a few whales. Jason was really knowledgeable about the history of whales, their mating customs, etc…fascinating!

Highly recommended!!

BRENDA_S, Jan 2023

Great value and experience.

Delores_W, Jan 2023

Peaceful sailing with little motor noise on leaving the harbor and re-entering. Apart from that it was sailing and whale watching. Which we saw a great many of!

Quiet and Peaceful

Kat_D, Jan 2023

A quiet and peaceful way to see the harbor and do a little whale watching with a glass of wine in hand. Friendly crew.

Not what it was advertised

Stephane_N, Jan 2023

The staff was great. The view amazing. Seen a few whales from very far. We left the wharf and cruised on for a bit motor powered. This day barely had wind. So when we stopped. The sails where put up. We stayed still for about 45 min. Spotted whales from a far. Captain turned on engines and started moving that directions for about 2 min, than stopped. Almost like he did. " A well. We tried." Did this for about 2 hours and back to dock. Beautiful view but not a sailing adventure. Not worth the money. There are better cruise out there.

My friend and I booked...

Allison_S, Dec 2022

My friend and I booked the scotch mist, and it did not disappoint! The crew was awesome, they don’t cram too many people on the boat. Plenty of room to move around and sit wherever you’d like the music was great, and we saw some whales, and the price was affordable, and definitely worth it!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Mahalo for the kind words and 5 star review. we like providing good value and great service. and you saw whales on top of everything. A good december sail. Come again soon. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Don Kidder, general Manager

Great short sailing trip!

Anna_L, Nov 2022

I was fortunate to sail on a beautiful day between gray days with a great crew and small group of fellow guests. We saw a couple of whales several times from a comfortable distance and enjoyed some appropriate music and beverages. I would definitely recommend this sailing adventure to friends!

Magnificent sailing experience!

Melanie_F, Nov 2022

The Captain and Jason were first class, friendly and professional, great to chat with, let us all steer the boat, all you can drink beverages throughout, smooth sailing all the way!

Amazing adventure!

Kathy_D, Nov 2022

The crew, the sailboat, and the beautiful winds and water of Maui! Hopefully will be able to take this sailing trip again. Mahalo!
