The evening
How does the evening work?
The party starts at Kewalo Basin and builds from coastal sunset views to dancing after dark.
- 1
Harbor boarding
You meet the crew at pier D. Your ID is checked before you board barefoot, and the crew gives a safety briefing.
- 2
Sunset along the coast
The boat cruises toward Diamond Head as daylight fades. You have a first drink aboard while the DJ plays.
- 3
Dancing after dark
LED lighting and the live DJ turn the deck into a dance floor. Waikiki's lights form the backdrop to your evening.
- 4
Friday fireworks
Friday's longer cruise includes fireworks viewed from the water. That part of the outing doesn't run on the other sailing days.
The boat returns to Kewalo Basin after 2 hours on the regular cruise. Friday takes 2.5 hours with fireworks included. Your return is to the same pier D meeting point.
Pickup and meeting point
- Pier meeting point: The crew waits at the gate to pier D dock 111 in Kewalo Basin Harbor. Your check-in is at the harbor rather than the Lewers Street office.
- Arrival buffer: Arrive 30 minutes before the departure shown on your ticket. Your ride from the hotel is separate, and harbor parking is both paid and limited.
- ID and footwear: Valid photo ID showing you're 21 or older is required for boarding. You remove your shoes before the cruise, with storage provided aboard.
- Bag and layer: The limit is one bag per person because space is limited. A long-sleeved layer helps on winter evenings. Outside alcohol can't come aboard.
Before you book
- The boat leaves at 5:30 p.m. from October to March and at 6:15 p.m. from April to September. Check the time on your ticket.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
Ocean and You suits friends aged 21 and up who want a boat outing built around dancing. Your group needs to enjoy a live DJ. The regular cruise takes 2 hours. It isn't a quiet sunset sail, and extra drinks aren't covered.
For a Friday cruise with children, Pink Sails fireworks costs from $84.72 per person. Holokai covers an open bar from $84.77 per adult if included drinks matter more than a live DJ.
Who it's not for
- Anyone under 21
- Guests who want a quiet evening
- Travelers planning to bring their own alcohol
- Guests expecting unlimited drinks with admission
Good to know
Know before you go
Every guest must be 21 or older, including anyone choosing not to drink. Valid photo ID is required before boarding. The age limit applies to admission to the boat, not just to service at the bar.
Shoes come off for the cruise, with storage provided aboard. Bring a long-sleeved layer for a winter evening. You can carry one bag per person, so your packing needs to fit the boat's limited space.
Your meeting point is Kewalo Basin slip D111. This booking asks you to arrive 30 minutes before the departure on your ticket. Paid parking is limited, and your hotel ride isn't included.
The cruise needs at least 10 guests across the whole departure to run. That isn't a requirement to bring ten people yourself. Rain alone doesn't cancel it, but severe weather can change or stop the trip.
One drink ticket comes with admission, and additional drinks are sold aboard. Your own alcoholic drinks can't come on the boat. The live DJ and dance floor remain central to the outing even if you don't drink.
One reservation accepts up to 10 travelers, with immediate approval and a mobile ticket. The tour can carry up to 50 passengers. A full booking therefore doesn't give your group private use of the party boat.

Questions
People also ask
- How much is the Ocean and You sunset party cruise?
Ocean and You starts from $80 per person with the first drink included. The regular cruise lasts 2 hours, while Friday runs longer and costs more. Extra bar purchases are separate, so your admission isn't an unlimited-drinks package.
- Can an under-21 guest join Ocean and You without drinking?
No, all guests must be at least 21 to board Ocean and You. Valid photo ID is required even if you're choosing nonalcoholic drinks. This is an adults-only party cruise, so your group needs another boat if anyone is younger.
- How long is Ocean and You on Fridays?
Friday's cruise lasts 2.5 hours to include the fireworks portion. Other operating days offer the regular 2-hour outing. Plan your return around the longer Friday version if you have dinner reservations or other plans after leaving Kewalo Basin.
- Can you bring your own alcohol on Ocean and You?
No, outside alcohol isn't allowed on the boat. Your admission includes one drink ticket for the 2-hour regular cruise, with extra drinks purchased at the bar. You can't substitute a BYOB cooler for those onboard purchases.
- Can you cancel the Ocean and You booking for a refund?
Yes, this booking gives a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. Cancellations inside that window are nonrefundable. Your booking's deadline governs your own change of plans, including when the boat is still scheduled to sail.
