The Experience
When you charter a private catamaran, the ocean is entirely yours. No strangers. No fixed schedule. No compromises. Just you, your group, a 30-ft power catamaran, and a crew dedicated entirely to giving you the best possible day on the water. This private tour departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor and heads along the Waikīkī coastline — Diamond Head, the Honolulu skyline, calm offshore reefs — at whatever pace suits your group. The itinerary is yours to shape. Want to snorkel twice? Just cruise and relax? Anchor for a swim and some music? Done. BYOB is fully welcome — bring your own food and drinks and make it your own. Snorkeling stops are typically made at offshore reef sites where Hawaiian green sea turtles gather, tropical fish are abundant, and the water is clear. The crew handles all gear, safety, and in-water guidance. Keep an eye out for spinner dolphins on the cruise, and during winter months, humpback whales pass through these same waters. Available in 2-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour formats — perfect for everything from a birthday outing to a romantic afternoon to a family reunion on the water.
