Gemini Sailing Charters · Ka'anapali
Two hours on Gemini, a 64-foot catamaran that sails from Ka'anapali Beach, timed for sunset with dinner and drinks on board. Pick it to end an off-road day clean and calm: nothing to drive, no dust, and kids pay less.
Gemini Sailing Charters checks you in on the lawn between Leilani's and Ulu Kitchen on Ka'anapali Beach, 30 minutes before the boat leaves. Park at Whalers Village and bring the parking ticket on board for a four-hour validation sticker. Gemini's Hawaii Tourism listing describes the boat as a 64-foot catamaran that sails daily from Ka'anapali Beach. Boarding is from the sand: guests mention walking into the waves, so wear shorts.
The listing promises dinner with chicken, short ribs and more, and a wide menu of cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks; you need ID and must be 21 to drink. One guest describes drinks from the start, dinner on the way back, and the boat slowing near shore for the sunset. Others saw dolphins or flying fish. A photographer on board is mentioned too.
Mixed notes, honestly: reviews of the food range from "delicious" to "ok", one guest found the boat a bit crowded, and seasickness comes up more than once. Take something for it if you need to. The Ship's Store takes cash or card.
