Come join us on our full day sailing adventure. We begin by sharing several different options for the day's adventure and make sure everything is catered to your desires, the weather conditions, and current wildlife sightings. We then spend the day sailing around beautiful Maalaea bay and beyond. We can visit several different snorkel spots including West Maui’s breathtaking Pali cliffs, satellite reefs off the shoreline of north Kihei, or even a sunken pier off of Lahaina.
Enjoy hands-on sailing instruction, or sit back, relax, and sip a cocktail while your experienced captain and crew take care of everything for you. If you want to try your luck at fishing, we will set a few trolling lures behind the boat and keep our fingers crossed that a hungry fish decides to take a bite.
Our full-day sail is the preferred charter during whale season where you never have to choose between spending more time sailing, snorkeling, or whale watching. And during the summer, we get to enjoy our windier season and really experience all that Ma'alaea has to offer.
For 7-12 guests we offer the opportunity to charter the fleet for a buddy boat sail. We depart at the same time and set sail side-by-side for a once in a lifetime sunset adventure.
