Testimonials

We were going to be in Maui around the Fourth anyway and my wife suggested we see if anyone was doing any events so we gave this a shot and we had a great time. The show and the fireworks were great and the food was excellent. Thanks Pride of Maui.

This cruise was hands down the best way to bring in the new year!! The champagne toast and kiss from my hubby at midnight with the fireworks were all just everything. Y’all really made our vacation magical.

First off, your captains and crew were amazing! They were all so friendly and professional the whole time. Dinner, the Mai Tais, the desserts, all of it was just so incredible! Seriously everything was awesome, the musician who played, and the dancers, they were all so great. I can’t forget how awesome it was to watch the fireworks from the top of the boat either! Seriously just a magical night all around. Thank you guys!
