Board Amore at Maʻalaea Harbor for a private, luxury Boston Whaler charter—snorkel reefs, search for humpbacks in season, and cruise Maui’s dramatic south and west coastline on a customizable 2–6 hour outing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bow slices a clean arc through the Pacific as Maʻalaea Harbor slips astern and the coast opens like a series of postcards. Onboard Amore — a polished Boston Whaler built for comfort and speed — six guests trade sidewalks for salt spray, trading small talk for the steady punctuation of waves. The sun warms the cockpit, the cabin's tinted windows offer a cool retreat, and the captain asks whether you prefer snorkel masks or binoculars first.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use FDA‑approved reef‑safe sunscreen and apply before boarding to protect coral and marine life.
Time the trip for visibility
Morning outings usually have calmer seas and better snorkeling visibility than late afternoon swells.
Secure small items
Bring a small dry bag and secure loose gear; the bow is exposed and can spray during higher swells.
Respect wildlife distances
Never touch or chase turtles and whales — let the captain position the boat for safe viewing and legal distances.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin while preventing chemical damage to coral ecosystems.
Non‑slip water shoes
Helps with footing on deck and when stepping on rocky shorelines during short landings.
Waterproof dry bag
Keeps electronics, keys, and extra layers dry on a wet boat.
Polarized sunglasses and hat
Reduces glare for spotting marine life and protects from sun exposure on the open water.
