Pride of Maui’s 65-foot vessel is stable and roomy, with roughly 3,000 square feet of deck space that keeps guests comfortable while you say your vows at sea.
You can match the celebration to your guest list and style. The fleet includes two options, up to 100 guests aboard Pride of Maui or up to 40 aboard the intimate ‘Elua. Choose a morning ceremony or a golden hour cruise, with the team steering most couples toward sunset for the show the island is famous for. learn more about their Maui wedding cruises.
Planning is handled with care so you can actually enjoy the day. Their wedding specialists have 30+ years of experience and offer packages or fully custom events, from passed hors d’oeuvres and premium bar service to full dinners served on linen and crystal in the main cabin.
Live Hawaiian musicians or a DJ can set the tone, floral designs come from local farms, and décor is tailored to your colors. They also keep things ocean friendly, so possible fly-away decorations are avoided.
Practical details are covered, too. Maui boat weddings are often a better value than resort venues, no witness is required, and the team can guide you on licenses and officiants so the paperwork is as smooth as the sail. When you are ready, an event planner will help finalize menus, bar level, and timelines, then welcome you and your guests aboard for an effortless celebration on the water.

The following are some photos from a wedding on the Pride of Maui taken by Natalie Brown Photography. The wedding ceremony was performed at a private residence in Kihei, south Maui, then the reception was held on the boat. Leaving from Maalaea Harbor, the Pride of Maui cruised along the coast making for some great photos and excellent memories.
