Perfect sunset sail, very nice boat. Crew was very friendly (Kristen was captain, Amy from Australia was crew), very talkative, very attentive to everyone. Always ready with a refill of our champagne, and offered chocolate as well. Let us move around the boat as we pleased, answered all of our questions and did a great job sailing the boat. Well positioned for the sunset.

After a bad sail on America II the night before, this was perfect.

On my recent 8 day trip to Maui we tried several times to book a tour on the 35' Scarab that Island Star Excursions offers but they were booked solid. Found the Scotch Mist by searching on line and despite a previous reviewers negative experience wiht the staff, we were thorougly impressed with the professionalism, proficiency and friendliness of the crew.

The boat itself is gorgeous and it was incredibly tranquil and relaxing to be making our way around Lahaina harbor without using the motor. We glided along effortlessly, with an ice-cold drink in our hands the entire time.

We were lucky enough to happen upon a very 'surface active' pod of whales. Three younger males courting and rather reluctant female. We saw more than a dozen surfacings with 30 foot plumes of hump-backed whale exhalations shooting into the air. We also had the pleasure of seeing several amazing whale tails and even had the female whale surface but a few yards off of our starboard side and then glide silently underneath the boat... her lightly colored pectoral fins shimmering ghost-like under the crystal clear azure waves.

Brad, Captain Christina (sp?) and first-mate Amy were all fantastic... outgoing and full of 'aloha spirit'. A class act from start to finish.

We rode the Scotch Mist for a Sunset Sail. The sailing and the sunset were wonderful. The ride is extremely quiet and relaxing, but the crew was average. We were supposed to received chocolate and champagne, but did not. Maybe they were just having a bad day?
