About

Our boat is yours! On this private boat trip you get to experience the waters of Maui to yourself. We take you to enjoy two of our most popular dive/ snorkel sites but requests are always welcomed. This is a 5- 6 hour day with 2 locations slated. We provide drinks, light snacks, and fruit. Feel free to bring any other items you would like to enjoy. BYOB for adults (21 years or older) after the dives/ swim sessions are completed. The private charter is for a total of 12 people (potentially a few more if it is a snorkel only charter). Please feel free to call us with any special requests or questions.

Itinerary

Every day is different on Island Style Snorkeling. Our first stop is typically the beautiful Molokini Crater. We start nice and early to ensure we get a great spot at the Crater without a crowd. With typically over 100' of visibility and very calm waters, Molokini Crater showcases some of the best conditions Maui has to offer. Our guides will take you to the best spots that day and show you the beauty of the marine preserve. Our second stop is determined by conditions, passengers on board, and where our captain wants to adventure. It is typically another one of our beautiful South Shore dive and snorkel sites with the possibility to see turtles, wrecks, caverns, and/or anything else you may not have seen at Molokini and want to experience.

Included

  • During your trip, we will provide sodas, juices, and light snacks.
  • Do you need rental gear? We have you covered! For private charters we provide any and all snorkel gear you and your guests may need.
  • Please specify your needs and we will make them happen!

The Fine Print

We always have a fabulous trip planned, but sometimes mother nature does not cooperate. If conditions are not safe or suitable for Molokini Crater or any other particular site, the captain may make a judgement call and take you to the best possible swim spots of the day. So although Molokini Crater is our planned destination, if it is not safe to swim or snorkel there, we will adjust our day accordingly to ensure you have a fantastic experience.

"Safe and Fun, in that order!" That is our motto. If we can't do both we aren't doing it. If for whatever reason conditions are so bad that the captain decides to "call off the day" we will happily reschedule you or offer you a refund.
