One of my favorite ocean excursions of all time! It's pretty surreal swimming around in the deep ocean water and snorkeling in areas I never would have imagined. Clean catamaran boat led by a hilarious and energetic captain that navigated all of the south shores of Oahu like the back of his hand. I highly recommend packing some extra duty sunscreen because I got burnt like a lobster out in that Hawaiian sun!

We booked a private 2 hour whale watching tour and Francesco and Nick were amazing . We saw whales real quick and followed them. Saw the whales dive and show their tails. So cool!!! We had enough time and they took us to snorkel with the turtles. They were very informative with any questions we had . Definitely would recommend!!!!!!

This was our favorite part of our 8 day trip. We did a 4-hour excursion and got to see so many sea turtles and they did a wonderful job guiding us with whale watching. We highly recommend them and look forward to booking with them again in August.

We had a fabulous time on the private charter we booked. So much better than sharing a boat with a crowd. We were unexpectedly delayed, but they waited and even contacted us to make sure we were able to find the correct location. Perfect day after a stressful morning. The views from the water are lovely & we saw a ton of sea turtles while snorkeling.

If I could give them more than five stars, I would! This was the highlight of our week in Hawaii. The tour was fantastic, I recommend them to everybody and anybody. They were so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our group had fun, learned a lot and felt like we were with two people that we have known for years.

One of the best experiences we had on our trip!!
Nick and Sam were fantastic. They were both very laid back. We saw LOTS of turtles on the snorkel excursion. The only thing regretting was we only did the 2 hr tour. We should’ve done a 4 hr tour.

Amazing 🤩 afternoon! As locals, we often forget about how fun it is to be on a boat off Waikiki! The crew was top-notch and treated us like family. Highly recommend to locals and visitors alike! Such a fantastic way to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy our beautiful Hawaii Nei!

What a great way to spend my birthday ! Private party on the water off Waikiki. Snorkeling with fish, bathing in the sun with diamond head in the background. Beautiful catamaran. Super fun staff. Wish I could do this every year !

The guys exceeded our expectations with their positive attitude, attention to detail, and impeccable service. They even went so far as to dive in and "rescue" the Florida natives that were drifting too far during a swell - ha! We particularly enjoyed the freedom that the private charter enjoyed in getting away from the Waikiki crowds. The guys were conscious of the larger charters and kept us away from the plethora of other snorkelers in the water. The views of Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline can't be beaten from the water, and we'll hold on to the memories of this catamaran charter for years to come. Mahalo to the entire crew for creating the perfect day for our family of six, and thanks for customizing the tour and adding an additional hour. It was spectacular!

Captain Francesco and first mate Harrison took my wife, my teenage daughter and me on the best boat tour we’ve had in Hawaii. We started out with a wonderful snorkel around a spot where green sea turtles line up to be cleaned by a variety of small fish. We swam with 6 turtles. What an amazing experience. While we were swimming with the turtles, a pod of dolphins swam up and around us, circling us and playfully jumping in the air. There was a baby dolphin amongst them, which was super cute. We headed up to Diamond Head after that and the pod came back and swam under and with the catamaran as we sat on the prow of the boat. Francesco and Harrison are skilled pros but make everything easy and relaxed, with their friendliness. I highly recommend anyone chartering this boat and crew for an outstanding day on the water that will be a memory for a lifetime.
