LAHAINA CATAMARAN FIELD GUIDE
Sunset and Surf: A Four‑Course Catamaran Dinner off Ka'anapali
A concise guide to Teralani Sailing Adventures’ Ka'anapali Sunset Dinner Sail — a 2.5‑hour catamaran cruise with a chef‑driven four‑course dinner, an open bar and seasonal whale watching off Lahaina.
Sunset and Surf: A Four‑Course Catamaran Dinner off Ka'anapali.
On West Maui, the Ka'anapali coastline softens at dusk into a band of gold and indigo. Aboard Teralani Sailing’s luxurious catamaran you glide along that shoreline — island music drifting from the deck — while a chef‑inspired four‑course dinner and an open bar set the rhythm for the evening. Keep watch for dolphins, turtles and, in season, whales as the sun slides below the horizon.
