Sailing Charter on 52' Classic Hawaiian Luxury Catamaran in Honolulu, Hawaii
INCREDIBLE BOATING EXPERIENCE!! We even got to sail alongside dolphins. Would advise if you are considering adding food, to bring your own rather than due catering due to portion sizes being small for the price. Otherwise, would recommend Richie's team wholeheartedly.

ONE OF A KIND, exhilarating trimaran sailing and swimming experience in Waikiki
Kiah and Natalie provided exceeded all expectations on our sunset cruise. We went with her suggestion to maximize the daylight, and had plenty of time to enjoy one of the best sunsets. Kiah constantly asked if there was anything we needed, if we were comfortable, and engaged in all types of conversations! Thank you for your time and care to making our sunset cruise the highlight of our vacation!

The best value Sunset Cruise off Waikiki! Beneteau 43ft.
We went sailing with Captain Tom and deckhand Raul. They were fantastic! We saw the sunset, a nearly full moon over Diamond Head, and just had the most wonderful time. So much more enjoyable than a group catamaran trip. We'll be doing this again. Thank you!!

Private sailing on 45 foot Luxury yacht, day sailing, sunset sail, snorkeling
Captain Tony went out of his way to help me with my proposal to my girlfriend. He called me a day before and he was happy to help with planning. We sailed out far enough where diamond head was in the backdrop of the proposal. While I was surprising my girlfriend he was taking photos and videos! Overall it was a great experience and highly recommend. We will certainly be touring with him again. Thank you!

30ft Custom Power Catamaran Private Charter in Waikiki, Hawaii
Francesco and Natalie were the absolute best people to captain this trip. They were very thoughtful, engaging, and considerate. This was our favorite activity Hawaii; the boat itself was as advertised but better. You also get to swim, snorkel, and get on some awesome water gear. I’ll be recommending this this to all my friends; best way to experience Oahu.
