What To Expect

Welcome aboard our incredible Hawaiian catamaran sailboat Winona. You are in for a treat as you experience the excitement of whale watching. Each year, from December through March, hundreds of migrating humpback whales journey from chilly Alaska to the warm waters of Maui to breed and give birth. Our guests can get a close-up view of the majestic marine mammals on this tour. These whales play, breach, and interact in their natural environment, and our crew provides insights into their behavior and biology. Hear their soulful songs through our underwater hydrophones while enjoying the perfect view of West Maui's mountains, Molokai, and Lanai, while you lounge on our decks or main floor. Infants and kids ages 0-5 come for free parents must call the office to confirm.

    We had a great time with Capt. Sam and the crew! Saw several pair of mothers and their calves and the crew shared so much of their knowledge and love of the islands with us! We loved the Winona, too!

    The crew was informative and kind. They tried very hard to find whales and follow them when they were spotted. We saw a lot of whales and learned a ton. Great experience.

    Wonderful trip to see whales! Crew was very friendly and helpful. When grandson started getting a little seasick. The captain had him come have a seat up top by him since it was calmer up there. Crew fixed him an ice pack and gave him Sprite to make him feel better. It all helped him feel better and enjoy the whales..
