A Guide to the Local Spirits Served on Our Wailea Sunset Cruise
A luxury vacation in Maui should engage all the senses, including taste. When you embark on an evening excursion, the quality of the beverages served is just as important as the views. At Kai Kanani, we believe that a premium experience requires premium ingredients. That is why our Wailea sunset cruise open bar local spirits selection is carefully curated to showcase the finest distilleries and wineries the Hawaiian Islands have to offer.
Many boat tours stock their bars with generic, mass-produced liquors to cut costs. We take a different approach. We view our open bar as an opportunity to introduce our guests to the incredible craftsmanship of local artisans. By serving Hawaiian-made spirits, we not only elevate the quality of your cocktail but also support the local economy and agricultural community.
The cornerstone of our vodka offerings is Ocean Organic Vodka. Distilled right here on Maui, Ocean Vodka is unique in its production process. It is the only vodka in the world made from organic sugar cane and blended with deep ocean mineral water sourced from 3,000 feet below the surface off the Kona coast. The result is an incredibly smooth, clean-tasting vodka that perfectly complements the fresh tropical juices we use in our signature cocktails.
For rum enthusiasts, we proudly pour Kula Rum. Produced by the Hawaii Sea Spirits distillery (the same makers as Ocean Vodka), Kula Rum is crafted from organic sugar cane and reflects the rich agricultural heritage of the islands. Whether you prefer the clean profile of their organic white rum in a classic Mai Tai or the complex, toasted notes of their dark rum, Kula Rum adds an authentic Hawaiian flavor to your evening.
Our gin selection features Fy Gin, another exceptional product from Hawaii Sea Spirits. Fy is an artisanal gin that incorporates local botanicals, offering a bright, crisp profile that is incredibly refreshing when mixed with tonic and a squeeze of fresh lime as you watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Beyond spirits, our Wailea sunset cruise open bar local spirits menu also highlights regional wines. We serve selections from MauiWine, located on the historic Rose Ranch in Ulupalakua. As the only commercial winery on the island, MauiWine produces unique, vibrant wines that capture the essence of upcountry Maui. At the exact moment the sun sets, we gather our guests for a special toast, pouring their sparkling wine to celebrate the end of another beautiful day in paradise.
Choosing Kai Kanani means choosing a higher standard of hospitality. Our Adventure Sunset Sail is designed to be a sophisticated, relaxing experience. The live music, the chef-curated appetizers, and our commitment to showcasing the best local spirits all work together to create an unforgettable evening on the water.
