How the Island Jewel Yacht Charter rental works: All parties are to select one person as the “charterer” (1 payment). This person will take full responsibility for the vessel and his/her guests. Per our demise charter agreement “bareboat” policy, the charterer is responsible for providing their captain, crew, provisions, fuel, and insurance. The charterer is allowed up to 12 guests in addition to himself/herself. This total DOES NOT include the charterer, the captain/master, or any hired crew members. We recommend a captain and crew through a separate company: Captain & Crew Aloha LLC. They have a selection of licensed and pre-approved captains and crew members who have experience on our vessel. They sailed the Island Jewel from Long Beach, CA, to Honolulu, HI, in June 2022 and have already been added to our insurance policy. If hired, they can assume responsibility for safely operating and docking the vessel, customize your itinerary, provide light snack/beverage provisions, cover fuel costs, facilitate the appropriate charter and insurance agreements, give a vessel orientation, and provide a full safety briefing to all guests before leaving the dock. They will provide one licensed captain and one crew member.

Captain & Crew Aloha LLC fee: $150/hr plus tax and processing fee is INCLUDED in the above prices but paid separately to Captain & Crew Aloha LLC via Credit Card, Debit Card, Venmo, or PayPal. Please call Island Jewel Yacht Charters at (808)807-4700, and we can arrange this for you. If you can provide your captain and crew, also contact us at (808) 807-4800 for our minimum qualifications, qualification and insurance process, and fees.

Included in Captain & Crew Aloha LLC fee: INCLUDED in the Captain & Crew Aloha fee is one licensed captain who is listed on the insurance policy, one crew member, fuel, and light snacks/beverages, including fruit, chips, cookies, soft drinks, water, and ice. Croissant sandwiches are provided on charters of 4 hours or longer. Alcohol MUST be BYOB. BYOB/BYOF or catering is welcome. The crew can help facilitate cooking and help prepare and serve meals, snacks, and drinks; however, they are not professional chefs or bartenders. Their primary responsibility is the SAFETY of the boat and all guests on board. Hire chefs or bartenders are welcome but must be hired separately and included in the charterer’s guest count.

Special Requests: The crew is willing to pick up additional provisions from Foodland for full reimbursement as they already go there for included provisions. If needed, they can pick up take-out orders from other locations at a rate of $50/hr. for the time it takes.
