Best Maui Boat Trips

Pride of Maui
We love the large size of the Pride of Maui for all of it's trips, though we especially like the special event cruises they plan. They have a lot of fun on Halloween, New Years, Valentine's Day, and the 4th of July. They offer unique ways to celebrate!

Kai Kanani
The Kai Kanani is the only boat that can board passengers from the beach in south Maui. It's also the closest pick up location to Molokini Crater. That means you spend less time getting to Molokini and more time exploring and snorkeling!
Visit Kai Kanani or call (808) 879-7218
Marjorie Ann
If you like to fish, this is your boat! They offer experienced private fishing tours out of Maalaea Harbor in south Maui that will take you to the best fishing spots off the coast. Captain Monroe Bryce knows bottom fishing on Maui better than most!

Island Star
Want more than the average shared boat trip? The Island Star offers private yacht charters to those looking for a more secluded trip. They're known for their discretion, which is why so many famous people have used this vessel to enjoy Maui waters.
Visit Island Star or call (808) 669-STAR
Trilogy
For those looking to snorkel at spots that are not crowded with other visitors, Trilogy does a great job in taking you to unique locations. They also do Molokini Crater, but ask them about afternoon trips and about snorkeling around the island of Lanai.

Quicksilver
We love the dinner cruise on the Quicksilver out of Maalaea Harbor. They serve hot food, have live musician(s), and don't overcrowd the boat. It's nice to sit down at a table on the water to watch sunset while eating a great meal by Beach Bums.
Call 1-888-700-3764
Teralani
We often choose the Teralani to do whale watches because of their experienced, knowledgeable staff. Learn about the surface behavior witnessed from our Humpback Whales. They'll also tell you what we know and don't know about what they do out of sight.
Call (855) 428-6843
Alii Nui
One of our favorite cocktail cruises is at sunset on the Alii Nui out of Maalaea Harbor. Their boat is extra roomy and will sail when conditions are right. The pupus (appetizers) they offer are very tasty and the drinks are excellent too!

Hawaii Ocean Rafting
If you've never gone rafting in Hawaii, you haven't lived! You'll experience the rush of being close to the water at high speeds. When you encounter ocean life (whales, dolphins, turtles, etc...), you'll be so close that you can almost touch them!
