Our guests say it best!
*** "Oh my gosh…highlight of our trip to Maui!! Absolutely killer brand new boat that had 1400 hp and all the comforts you could possibly need. They only take max of 6 people, but there was only my wife and myself on this trip, so turned into our private snorkeling trip on a perfect weather day.
We found a quiet spot off the black sand beach in Wailea and saw turtles, schools of fish, crabs, urchins, star fish, and creatures we had no idea what they were.
Captain Doug was so laid back and made us feel right at home. First Mate, Vinny, towed my wife, who is not the most confident swimmer, all around the bay making sure she was safe and pointed out all manner of sea life.
We’ve been coming to Maui for 30 years now, I cannot think of a better activity we have ever done or nicer people. This will be our go-to activity going forward on future vacations to Maui."
***"My family and I had such an amazing time on this small group tour. Josh and Nick made sure we were comfortable on the boat and had everything we needed, from snorkeling equipment to snacks and drinks. As someone who had never snorkeled before, I was a bit nervous, but the friendly and knowledgeable crew made me feel right at ease. Saw so many sea turtles and fish. This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Maui. Can’t recommend this experience enough!"
