10 Passenger Max Customizable Private Charter

Overview

Mobile ticket

• Vessel Designed for Exploration: HAWAII MARINE LIFE CHARTERS uses a 31’ Ocean Craft

RHIB—the same "super-raft" used by military and law enforcement. This design offers

extreme stability, maneuverability, and a faster, smoother ride to Kona’s most remote

coastal gems.

• Size Matters: With a 10-passenger max, our private charters are more economical than

the 18 or 27-pack boats offered by competitors.

• All-Inclusive VIP Amenities. Other operators will nickle and dime their customers, but at

HMLC all of the extras are included in your tour price.

• Personal Concierge Experience: As a private charter, your crew focuses solely on you,

adjusting the itinerary to spend extra time with dolphins or find a secluded, crowd-free

cove.

• Local Expertise: A family-owned business, Captain Brian and his crew leverage 30+ years

of local knowledge to share Hawaiian history and "hidden gems" other tour operators

may miss.

Experience a private ocean expedition where your vision sets the course.
