We had excellent wind this week and thus a wonderful trip! We got wet but the water is warm and it puts everyone on the boat in good spirits! The staff and skippers were friendly and accomodating. more

Absolutely the best deal on the island. Here is a hint if you want to avoid getting totally drenched: Sit on the left side of the boat (if you are facing the front). Seriously, those folks got a splash or two, but my side of the boat was literally full of water. What a blast, though. I would do it... more

We sailed on the America II on the afternoon of May 16, 2008. Unfortunately, the winds were almost calm that day so we did not get to experience the full ride. They issued us 'windchecks' for a free ride in the future. Unfortunately, it was our last day, it would have been nicer to have the option of a refund.... more

My family and I took the America II sailboat on 4-21-08 and it was the highlight of our trip. My 2 young boys absolutely loved it. It was very exciting, and we saw two whales. I thought this was a great value and worth every penny. It was not overpriced like many other activities. Waves came over the side of... more

My wife and I signed up for an afternoon ride on America II, hoping for an extreme sailing experience. Wow did we get that!! Our destination was the channel between Maui and Molokai, where it turned out winds were blowing at a steady 30 knots with huge swells. In our prime seating up front to the portside, we were absolutely... more

We were on our honeymoon in Maui late Oct. 07 and found the America II a great experience that will be remembered. It is an aggressive sailing experience that will likely get you very wet, so be prepared with a change of clothes and enjoy the experience! :)) more

We just returned from this excursion, and found it to be one of the best values on the island. Thanks to the reviews here, we knew to book the late afternoon trip. It was everything we expected, and the weather was perfect. It was also true that we would be soaked from head to toe - but that was part... more

Just back from a weekend in lahaina. Sailed on America II and really had a great time. There were only 4 of us and they still took us out for 2 hours. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable (brian and marty..I think). The ride was wet,wild and beautiful Not for the seasick prone though. I'd do it again next time... more

Sailing on this boat was awesome! Not for the queasy or those who want to avoid getting wet, you will have to brace yourself - it was fun! Tips for the staff - warn prospective customers prior to this - we had no problem, some people have no idea what to expect (though they should research) but had we not... more

Having been to Maui many times, and taken all sorts of boat & catamaran rides, the afternoon sail is the best priced ticket in town! We've sailed with them twice and, yes, the second crew was not as friendly but they certainly weren't surly by any means. Do take the afternoon sail if you're after wind and getting wet. Keep... more
