Aolani Catamaran Sailing

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!! The crew was amazing and knowledgeable, the boat was amazing, and the little trip they took us on was relaxing and scenic. They provided a very smooth and effortless experience.

I am a Tour Operator from Minneapolis. I had a high school band on tour in San Diego. They wanted to do a dinner cruise. Rather than choose one of the large boats that are public, I thought the kids and parents would enjoy being by themselves, doing some sailing, hanging out with their friends in a comfortable environment and I was absolutely right. Aolani provides multiple catering options for any price range. The food was good. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. The booking process was easy. Edwin, the owner, was very responsive to my inquiries and even though he wasn't going on the cruise with us, he welcomed the group and showed us to the slip. He was receptive to any and all of our needs. We had 45 people and were very comfortable on the catamaran. The kids hung off the front, some hung inside. Some laid on the netting in comfortable chairs. There was plenty of room for everyone. If not for Coast Guard regulations, they easily could have had another 20 people on board. The harbor itself is really cool too. You get to sail past many, many US Naval vessels. The deals were running around in their Zodiacs and even buzzed us one time. The Captain was kind enough to slow down after that to let the waives subside. You can hook into their sound system and play whatever kind of music you want. They have blankets for those that don't understand it gets a little colder especially at night on the water. Having coordinated a number of these kind of events, I would put this one at the top of the list and will absolutely do it again for my next group tour of San Diego. I cannot think of anything I would change.

We came from out of town and planned a joint bday celebration for me and my boyfriend for a weekend in SD. All of our friends enjoyed the catamaran, the views were amazing and the yacht was really nice. Our captain and crew were great and had all our food and drinks set up for us! I searched and called many companies when I was looking for good prices for our group of 20, this was one of the best prices especially when you get the whole yacht to yourselves!

We recently chartered the Aolani for our company’s two year birthday party. I’ve been on the boat a few times over the years and knew it was a great venue. However, the staff - Kaitlyn, Holly and Captain Joey really took it to the next level. Their enthusiasm and engaging personalities helped take our event to the next level. Everyone in our group to had great time. Highly recommended!
