My husband and I booked a Sunset Sail on the Scotch Mist for our first day in Hawaii. The sail was so perfect, we booked a second sail for our last day in Hawaii. The crew was gracious and accomodating and the boat was in excellent condition. We had very different wind levels on the two days we went out,... More

While we were on Maui, we took 4 boat trips. The first one was on the Scotch Mist. We went on a Sunset Cruise from Lahaina, a 2 hr trip. There were only about a dozen people on board and really, after reading all of the reviews on TA, we were kind of disappointed. We sailed out into the bay,... More

If you are sick off the large crowds and corporate tours, Scotch Mist is for you. Capt. Gene and his staff are top notch. Sailing on a 50' boat with a small group really gives you the proper experience. We felt like we were on a friends boat vs. a cattle car. This is a must if you are in... More

Very happy we chose a smaller group when we turned up to checkin and saw the cattle herding going on for the other much larger boats. It's was definitely worth the extra $'s (for us) to go with the smaller guys. Good times. These guys make you feel like it's your mates taking you out for a sail. A combination... More

We signed up for a Thursday night sunset cruise after watching 4 gorgeous sunsets in a row from our condo. Unfortunately the clouds rolled in Thursday and things looked gloomy. But the moment we stepped aboard Scotch Mist II, captain Turk and bartender-extraordinaire Tony started swapping stories with the guests (only 8 of us aboard this night) and making everyone... More

I have been visiting Maui for about 15 years and the only thing we do every year is the Sunset Cruise on the Scotch Mist! This year was no exception. The boat and crew make this different than the other sunset cruises. It is a 50 ft racing sailboat and. they limit the number of passengers to 15.This year we... More

Enjoyed sailing on the Scotch Mist twice on our March 2012 holiday to Maui. We would have gone again if our schedule permitted. On the Scotch Mist you actually 'SAIL' ! I think the big plus is the boat is never crammed full of people. This really makes the whale watching truly enjoyable. Sailing on the Scotch Mist is a... More
