Full Day Snorkel & Sail in Wailuku with Maui Custom Charters

Set sail from Maalaea Bay, a sparkling jewel on Maui’s southern coast, with Maui Custom Charters offering a full-day adventure aboard their monohull Nova. Wailuku sits at the heart of Maui’s diverse landscape, combining vibrant ocean life with lush greenery just inland. This trip stands out for the freedom it grants passengers—a tailor-made day where snorkeling, whale watching, and fishing intermingle with hands-on sailing or laid-back cruising.

Guests can unwind with a cocktail while the monohull glides across calm turquoise waters, or get involved with sailing instruction—a perfect blend for beginners and seasoned sailors alike. The bay itself is a marine sanctuary rich with coral reefs, reef fish, and seasonal visits from humpback whales that migrate here between December and April. The onboard meals, prepared fresh for your party, add a local flavor that complements the stunning panorama of island cliffs and ocean horizon.

Maui Custom Charters has carved a distinct niche in Maui’s outdoor recreation scene by combining education, adventure, and comfort in a single day. Unlike larger tour boats, their approach is intimate, emphasizing connection to the sea and respect for the environment. Maalaea Bay’s unique underwater topography—marked by volcanic reefs and diverse marine species—makes snorkeling unforgettable, while the windy afternoons offer just enough challenge for sailors wanting to refine their skills.

For groups, families, or solo travelers seeking a multifaceted day on the water with deep cultural and natural ties to Maui, this charter delivers a stellar experience. It encapsulates Hawaiian ocean life without the crowds, striking a rare balance between personal adventure and ecological awareness. When the sun dips behind the West Maui Mountains, guests often find themselves reflecting on the day’s blend of calm and thrills—a reminder of why Maui’s coastlines deserve their worldwide reputation.
