Starting Off
Imagine slipping onto a spacious yacht in Honolulu’s harbor as the day winds down, with the gentle Pacific breeze cooling your skin and an unbeatable view of the Hawaiian coastline in front of you. The Private Luxury Sunset Cruise aboard Limitless offers just that — a personalized, intimate way to enjoy Hawaii’s natural beauty. For about $1,199 per group (up to 6 people), you’ll spend roughly two hours cruising past waikiki Beach, the iconic volcanic crater, and the Honolulu skyline, all bathed in the warm glow of sunset.
What we love about this experience is both the luxury feel and the flexibility — you can bring your own beverages and snacks, making it a truly personalized celebration or relaxed escape. The yacht’s air-conditioned lounge and amenities like Wi-Fi, a TV, and a restroom ensure comfort even if the weather gets warm or you decide to stay onboard longer.
A small consideration is the bookings are popular, with most guests reserving about 20 days in advance, so planning ahead will help you secure your preferred date. This cruise is ideal for couples, families, or small groups looking for a private, upscale experience rather than a crowded tour. If you’re after a quiet, scenic, and flexible way to experience Oahu’s sunset, this cruise fits the bill.

The Itinerary: What You Will See and Experience
The cruise’s route is designed to maximize your scenic exposure while maintaining a relaxed pace.
First stop: You’ll enjoy panoramic views of Honolulu’s cityscape and the towering, majestic mountains that frame the island. The sight of Honolulu’s skyline shimmering in the sunset is often a highlight, with the city lights gradually flickering on as the sun dips.
Next: The yacht glides past Waikiki Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world. Here, you’ll see the long stretch of sand lined with palm trees, bustling hotels, and vibrant cafes. The contrast of modern tropical luxury against the quiet ocean provides a picture-perfect moment.
Finally: You’ll get close to an iconic volcanic crater, one of Hawaii’s most recognizable landmarks. The view of this geological marvel framed by the sunset creates a stunning backdrop that’s perfect for photographs or just soaking in the natural wonder.

Considerations and Tips
Because it’s a BYOB cruise, bring your favorite beverages, whether it’s champagne, wine, or soft drinks. The cooler and refrigerator make it easy to keep everything chilled.
