Immaculate boat

5.00It's definitely worth paying a little more to skip the crowd. There were only about 25 passengers vs 120 on other boats. The crew was great, food good, open bar was fun. Boat beautiful new and clean. The equipment for snorkeling was new and very good too. They offer ginger laced sprite to calm stomachs. Definitely a great trip. We highly recommend this trip and crew!
Absolutely breathtaking!!...

5.00Highly recommend this snorkel experience compared to others! I have done quite a few while on vacation and for my partner and I we prioritized the on board experience as well as in the water. Beautiful new boat, all the amenities. Super clean, high end bathrooms. Food was great. The crew was very informative and kind. Best part was limited people on the boat. You don’t feel packed in trying to fight for a good spot to sit! The snorkel itself was good. Nice quality gear that is well taken care of. Highly recommend the $10 wet suit addition on board. Helped keep me warm in the cooler water(I went during January) and afloat. Would do again!
Awesome. 5 Stars!!!!

5.00Excellent crew, beautiful boat, clean bathrooms, great food, and awesome snorkeling spots. The boat did not feel crowded! It is the best snorkel trip we have been on in Hawaii, despite the less than perfect weather! Highly recommend this trip!
Superb boat and excellent crew.

5.00The boat was immaculate, the crew was excellent, the equipment was top notch, and the snorkelling at the crater and at coral gardens was the best we have had on Maui. None of our group needed prescription goggles to snorkel but this boat even had a handful of those available. Thanks so much Captain Justin and crew.

5.00We had an amazing time with Justin and crew. The boat was new, clean and their service was amazing. The food was great and we were able to see a lot of whales and fish while snorkeling. It was worth every penny extra to go with a smaller amount of people. I highly recommend!
Great time and lots of wildlife.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour on the Eula. The boat is only 1 year old, and the crew works to keep it in great shape. Our captain Kadyn was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. First mate Sienna was very helpful and kind, and mates Anna and Karlie were also very helpful. We had a great time, and saw many whales in the area, and many turtles in Turtle Town.
Great Staff, Nice Boat…no Molokini

4.00The crew was superior in their energy and attentiveness. The boat was very clean and it and the equipment were in exceptional shape. The only real disappointment was we did not go to Molokini. Apparently, after signing in, they announced the weather was not favorable so they took us to an alternative spot along the Maui shore. It was fine but not exceptional snorkeling. We then went to “Turtle Town.” Again this was fine but not great…and no turtles (which I know they cannot control). We did do a little whale watching as a make up for our time. Overall, good experience but two of our party of four would have preferred to not go since Molokini was taken off the agenda…they felt this ended up being a very expensive snorkel cruise that was just okay. They felt the cruise title clearly promised Molokini (and there was no written “in the event of…” clause allowing the operator to change the tour.
Look no further, this one is the best

5.00Absolutely incredible experience. Justin and the crew are fantastic. Boat is clean, modern, very spacious. Service, drinks, and food were excellent. Bathrooms are surprisingly nice for a boat. Warm showers. Never felt crowded. The crew are all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and area. They went out of their way to make sure we had a good experience. Cannot recommend them enough.
Treated like family !

5.00If you want an experience where the staff welcomes you and takes care of you like family, in an uncrowded relaxed and atmosphere, this is your luxury yacht. The captain and crew took time to slow the boat to enjoy a mama whale and her calf not 100 yards from the boat and did they put on a show! Molokini was breathtaking and we were able to see sea turtles in Turtle Bay. This is the experience you dream of when you think about Maui and we were so thankful to the crew for making our dreams a reality ! Mahalo!
