Great private sunset charter on the GungHo! Captain Keahi and First Mate Ali made us feel like family on a casual evening sail. Captain Keahi shared stories from a generation of commercial and competitive sailing experience in Hawaii. The classic sailboat is well appointed and the perfect platform to safely sail the Pacific. We even had the opportunity to help guide the boat for a while. Our only regret was not booking an entire day! Look forward to many more charters in the future. Highly recommend the GungHo for your private chartering needs!

We went on a private sailing charter, mainly because we just like sail boats. It turned out to be the best whaling excursion ever - many, many whales, and several breaches!
Kai, our captain and owner of the boat, knew so much and willingly shared what he knew. He has sailed to Tahiti, and competed in races between Hawaii and the Mainland.

We really enjoyed the private tour. We wanted turtles and our captain made sure we saw them on our snorkel stop. We also caught the end of whale season and saw some hump back 🐋 Very chill time for a small group.

Awesome experience sailing with family for a sunset cruise. The views were amazing. Our captain Marty was knowledgeable, very competent and made us feel very comfortable . His co captain Sylvia kept us engaged with snacks and drinks and took great pictures. Best part was the whale breaching we got to see twice. Overall awesome experience. Well worth the money. Highly recommend 👍

What a great experience and a great crew. Keahi and Ali were great hosts and excellent sailors. We and our friends (four of us) wanted to experience a nice sunset cruise without the crowds of the large boats, we found it with Gung Ho and wont look back.

Ali and Keahi are AMAZING hosts. We chose to do the 2-hour sunset cruise and felt it was the perfect way to get out on the water, experience seeing the west side of Maui from the ocean, going for a dip in the deep blue, and relaxing. The sunset was stunning and though it was raining on the drive over - we all know Lahaina is almost always sunny! We even accidentally dropped a cell phone into the water (to be fair, they warned us!) and Keahi was gracious enough to dive in the harbor and retrieve it for us. All in all, I would give this cruise 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

Great experience. Crew was friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about Maui. Our family 2 adults and kids 11 and 13 loved it. Beautiful, fun, and chill. Snorkeling the Mala wharf was also a great pet of trip.

This sailing experience was so much fun. Marty and Kass were fantastic and felt instantly like friends. They had a wealth of information about Hawaii, sailing, and marine life. They took us to a great snorkel spot - that was still pretty even though it wasn't the best conditions for snorkeling that day (but great conditions for sailing!) We were also treated to some whales, a rainbow, and a gorgeous sunset.
On previous trips to Maui we have been on larger boat tours (separately) for snorkeling, whale watching, and sunset. We were able to combine all of those things into one experience, personalized to our family, without the crowds. Kass took so many gorgeous photos of our family and Air Dropped them all to me at the end. Definitely recommend!

We capped off our Maui trip with a sunset sail and snorkel trip with Keahi and Ali. What an amazing experience! The reef we explored was teaming with wildlife, and we couldn't ask for a more beautiful setting to take in a sunset. Forever thankful to the GungHo team for their unique insights on the history of the island and the once in a lifetime sailing experience!

I booked a 3 hour sunset sail after seeing all the positive reviews about Gung Ho and am happy to add another one to their list. We had such an awesome time with Captain Marty and Tennasyn, it felt like we were sailing with good friends. Keahi the owner has a beautiful boat and was a pleasure to work with when booking the charter. I highly recommend sailing with them, it will be the highlight of your trip!
