Vida Mia Sunset Cruises
Experience the island from a new vantage point.
Step back in time and feel the nostalgia of the island. The Vida Mia was the very first dinner cruise in Lahaina, after she was rescued from the shores of Molokai. Chuck Clarke, her soon-to-be owner at the time, decided she'd make a pretty nice venue for live entertainment and cocktails in the Lahaina Harbor. Every morning, he grilled prime rib (fresh ahi...if you called a day ahead). Chuck took a piece of garlic bread, toasted it up right before she left port and the rest is history.
​
We care about keeping the rich traditions of Vida Mia's history alive. From dinner cruises to live music events, we offer several ways to experience the sunset, in homage to old Hawaii and the ingenuity of her previous owners. The only thing we really like to change is our menu. To provide our guests with the best local ingredients, our menu will vary based on season. We work with all local farmers and fisherman to give you the best the island has to offer. From steak tips, to huli huli chicken and fresh caught fish of the day such as hebe and ahi, our menu is just as unique as our history. Dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated by our chef.
​​From light fare and craft cocktails to private charter buyouts, we have something for everyone. Departing right from Waikiki, the Vida Mia sunset cruises are one of the best places to watch the sunset on Oahu. Our cocktail cruise is offered every Thursday and is a great option if you have dinner plans in Waikiki. If you are looking for dinner and a show, come join our Fresh Catch Friday Cruise. This is our most fabulous cruise of the week, a favorite of locals and tourists. Dress to impress and get ready for some sing-a-longs of local Hawaiian favorites.
