When you’re on an island vacation, you probably want to stay in the water – and on the water – as much as possible. If that’s the case, you’ll want to check out Red Hospitality & Leisure – one of the leading watersports and hospitality groups in the Caribbean, South Florida and Hawaii. This company provides some of the best in luxury marine experiences, including aboard the Koa Kai for snorkeling and whale watching in Maui and aboard the Ali’i Nui for sunset sailing around the island.
Guests stepping aboard the Ali’i Nui, a 65-foot catamaran, will experience an expansive deck, a shaded cabin, an attentive crew and modern amenities that feature an onboard photographer during two cruises:
Royal Sunset Dinner Cruise (starts at $239)
Savor a three-course tasting menu that includes such appetizers as jackfruit “crab” cakes and Big Island ahi poke; a dinner of sesame-crusted fresh catch and ginger-braised short ribs; and a dessert of house-made lilikoi mousse. A full bar of premium and local spirits, specialty cocktails and beers/seltzers from Maui Brewing Co. spotlights favorites like the Hawaiian Mimosa and Spicy Margarita.
Makani Sunset Sail (starts at $159)
New to the lineup is this cruise, perfect for families, couples and friends who want to experience the Ali’i Nui and still have time to enjoy dinner at one of Maui’s many wonderful restaurants. The two-hour sail features light bites of Kalua Pork Potstickers and Haleakala Beef Satay Skewers, as well as a selection of cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks, including the local favorite, POG (passion orange, guava) juice, and a house-made ginger ale that is also great for cocktails.
Don’t you just love it when luxury goes overboard?
