So nice to actually SAIL!

5.00Brandon and the crew were awesome! We did not have a lot of wind, but they definitely made every attempt to sail as much as possible. Breakfast and lunch were much better than expected, and they make a mean cocktail. The snorkeling and the whales were also incredible! I would highly recommend, but don’t be late! they like to leave exactly on time!!
The best tour we did on Maui

5.00We had a very memorable trip out to Molokini and back. Brandon, Jen/Jess and Joey did a great job. We saw lots of whales, had a great snorkel at Molokini Crater and saw even more humpback whales on the trip back.

5.00This was a great experience. We saw at least 50 whales and had a magical experience snorkeling in the Molokini crater. The crew (AJ, Brandon, Jeff) were amazing and helped make sure that all of us were comfortable. Breakfast, lunch and coffee was provided, and we overall ended up having a very comfortable luxury adventure experience. I strongly recommend this for all travelers!
Amazing

5.00So great. We messed up reading the instructions and arrived close to departure and then had trouble finding where to go but they waited for us and we were so glad the did. The boat is beautiful and the ride over was even more beautiful. We saw whales both directions. The crew was great! The food and service on the boat was top notch. Great boating experience. Our car did get towed. If you park in the dirt in the harbor lot, make sure you don’t have any wheels on the concrete.
A lovely motor-sailing day excursion with fantastic snorkeling, friendly & helpful crew, wonderful food and good drinks.

5.00This was a terrific day excursion. Capt Brandon & crew members Joey, Jess and others did a fantastic job. They made sure everyone was safe and had a wonderful time. The snorkeling at Molikini was beautiful and the trip allowed everyone ample time to snorkel and swim. The food and drink were delicious and ample, but it might be helpful for some guests if there more vegetarian options available. We are sailors and chose this adventure in part because it was advertised as a "performance" sailing trip, but we only sailed for one hour or so, and most that was motor sailing. Nevertheless, we still had a fantastic time and this trip was far better than just going out on a motor yacht. Thank you for the fun day :).
Fun, safe, small group

5.00This trip exceeded our expectations. A gorgeous sail to Molokini, with loads of humpback whales seen en route and dolphins to greet us going back. The snorkeling was perfect in terms of crystal clear waters brimming with colorful fish and undersea creatures. The captain and crew were so welcoming and attentive to all our needs. Breakfast, lunch and cocktails were very nice too. The experience was a highlight, well worth the cost of the trip.

5.00Great crew. Smaller groups. Reef was beautiful and water super clear, not a lot of fish so not the best snorkeling experience but sail was great as was food and saw a large pod of dolphins along the way which made the trip.
Great snorkeling excursion
