The catamaran slips off the sand and Waikiki bends into a gold rim: palms, high-rises and surfers silhouetted as the sun tilts toward the horizon. Onboard, the crowd eases into conversation, plastic cups clinking against the steady slap of ocean. The Holokai catamaran keeps a relaxed, social pace—bare feet, warm breeze and a skyline that deepens from coral to indigo.
