All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

It was such a fun and relaxing day trip. Worth it! Good experience! The only con thing is that it’s stated on the website that soft drinks, juice, bread, pastries and continental breakfast are included with all the water activities BUT….BIG BUT they didn’t have and never had any of those except DONUTS, water and punch! I showed them what’s written on the tour site and the booking confirmation and they said that’s weird I was not the first who said this, they gotta talk to the agent. So come prepare your own drinks and snacks.

This was our first time visiting the sandbar and it was so much fun because of the crew of KBOS! Our day was overcast, but we still had an amazing experience. They have a large selection of water toys. We did the paddle boards, clear canoe & snorkeled over the coral. But you can also kayak or get a ride on a banana boat. They also set up a volleyball net. They pull a large platform barge with seating so you can rest or just enjoy sunbathing. The catamaran is shaded & spacious with plenty of tables for seating. There are bathrooms & changing rooms on board. They fed us a turkey/ham sandwich on a croissant with chips & pineapple and they provide water & punch anytime you need it. I felt like we could bring our entire family including all ages from grandparents to small kids. There is something for everyone. We saw a massive turtle & a sting ray. Even though our day was cloudy the crew still made it a blast! They were fun to hang out with & the live band was AMAZING! I usually don’t redo excursions that I’ve already done, but I would definitely book this tour every time I visit Oahu!

The crew was very helpful and made our experience a memorable one. We had a great time snorkeling, canoeing, and tubing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun day out in the water.

The tour was awesome. Too much fun. The crew and band were amazing. We will definitely join this tour again to kaneohe and other tours around the islands that they may have. Captain Sandy was super nice. The banana boat was fun.

This private snorkel tour was 100% worth the money. A private pontoon boat with many amenities, including snacks, drinking water, water sport toys and others were all provided. Captain Kokua could not have been friendlier and showed us a lot to see in the area. The sandbar of course was beautiful and a huge highlight of the trip.

Took 5 friends out with me to experience the sandbar for the first time! We had such a blast! Yuko was our captain and she was the absolute best! Some snacks and drinks were provided, you can BYOB. Floaties, snorkel gear, and a paddleboard were offered. The sandbar was beautiful! Highly recommend this to anyone!

Kaikoa (sorry for misspelling his name) was a fabulous guide. Wonderful with kids. Knowledgeable and really loved his job.

The guidance to the sandbar and snorkeling points was accurate, and we were able to see many sea turtles up close. They taught each of us how to paddleboard very carefully, and even though it was our first experience, we had a lot of fun.

サンドバーやシュノーケリングポイントへの案内も的確でウミガメも近くで沢山観ることが出来ました
SUPも初心者の私達に一人一人とても丁寧に教えてくれて、初体験でしたがとても楽しめました

We chartered this catamaran for my sister’s bachelorette party. We had an amazing time. The crew was awesome and kept the celebration hype. Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely charter this boat again!

Trip went off without a hitch. Everything we expected and more. The Captain and crew were very accommodating, friendly and informative about the area. They let us pretty much make the call on where to go. Had an awesome time, and would highly recommend Captain Shane and the Royal Hawaiian Catamaran.

Captain Robin was incredibly nice and patient with our party and has great knowledge of the area! We had an amazing time and wish we could’ve spent every day of our trip on this boat!

We had a very nice private charter with the Royal Hawaiian sailing crew! The Captain and staff couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating. If you are in the market for a private charter, this is boat to book!

The Royal Hawaiian Catamaran boat charter is now my absolute favorite activity on Oahu. This charter will satisfy so many different goals for island experience - sailing, snorkeling, swimming, relaxing in the shade, and learning about Hawaii. One thing that sets this tour above others is their commitment to the reef and water. They don't overcrowd the boat and there is no plastic used onboard. I really appreciated the balance between hosting tourists and stewarding their natural resources. Captain Shane, Cassidy and Gio went above and beyond to make our experience one to be remembered forever. They listened to us and provided excellent options to allow us to make the most of our charter. I liked it so much that I booked my second trip for later in the year already.

The staff was amazing, personable and hilarious! Overall we saw 2 babies and 2 adults but they were at a distance.
If you are looking for up close this is not the cruise but this is very family friendly and a relaxing sail with great views of Honolulu .

The whole trip was wonderful! We saw 2 sets of whales baby and mamma! The staff was so nice and professional ❤️

This is a great cruise. The boat was spotless and the Captain and crew were awesome. They were very interactive and made sure they took care of us in the drink and snack area. They were very knowledgeable and fun to interact with. We were able to see quite a few whales which was so fun. Booking was easy as well as check in.

I cannot recommend the Royal Hawaiian Catamaran enough! We chose the 2 hour sunset cruise and it was phenomenal! Captain Shane and his crew made our experience so special. My group of 6 felt very safe, the crew wore masks, and they asked us before sailing what we'd like to do. We were able to snorkel with the gear they provided, saw a lot of fish and a couple turtles, and also had the best view of the sunset. We played our own music, they poured us drinks that we brought on board, and the Mediterranean spread was perfect for snacking. Book this catamaran, you will not regret it!!

コロナ前ですが、クジラを遠くに見ながらジェットフォイル船でお酒を飲んで楽しかったです。60over二人を連れてても全然問題なかったです。また行けるといいなー。

We participated as a family, but the sea was rough, and seasickness peaked, plus we were disappointed that the whales didn't show up. The kids enjoyed the scenery from the boat.

家族で参加をしましたが、海も荒れていて船酔いがピークな上、クジラも姿を現さずに残念でした。子供は船から景色を楽しんでいました

I participated in whale watching. I was able to see 4 or 5 whales spouting in the distance. I was thrilled to see the whales, but it was also great to be on a boat with many native speakers, which added to the atmosphere.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠くのかなたで潮を吹いているクジラを4、5頭見られました。くじらを見たことも感激しましたが、ネイティブの方が多く乗っている船で、その雰囲気がよかったです。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see them, but I was happy to meet a pod of dolphins. The guide was really nice and would let us know as soon as he spotted something!

The boat was comfortable, pleasant, and fun!

残念ながら見れませんでしたが、イルカの群れに会えてうれしかったです。
ガイドさんは何か見えるとすぐ教えてくれたり、すごくいい人でした！

船も快適で、気持ちよく、楽しかったです！

I was able to see whales.

It all depends on the whales and luck, but I was able to see them jumping in the distance and swimming nearby.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

クジラを見ることができました。

全てはクジラ次第で時の運ですが、遠くでジャンプ姿、近くで泳ぐ姿を確認でした。

機会があればまた参加したいです。

I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to see it until halfway through, but I was able to watch it towards the end. I'm glad I could see it because they searched for it until the very last minute. I can hardly speak any English, but the staff were kind, and I had a great time.

途中まで見れないかな？と思ったのですが、最後の方に見ることができました。時間ギリギリまで、探してくれたため、見ることができてよかったです。英語がほとんど話せないのですが、スタッフは優しく、楽しめました。

I had very little experience with boarding a ship, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the other staff were also kind, which made me feel very at ease. There was a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which was enjoyable. Although the chances of seeing a whale were low, they searched diligently, and I was able to see its tail. I also got to see dolphins up close for a long time, which I didn't think would be possible. It was a very enjoyable plan.

船に乗る経験もほとんどありませんでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいたり、他のスタッフも親切でとても安心して過ごせました。
アルコール類やソフトドリンクも豊富で楽しかったです。
鯨も確率は低いそうですか、熱心に探してくれ、尻尾を見ることができました。また、見れないと思っていたイルカを近くで長時間見れました。
とても楽しいプランでした。

There was a pre-boarding explanation by the Japanese staff, and although it was an English tour, there were no inconveniences at all. We even encountered whales, and the beer on the comfortable boat was fantastic!

日本語スタッフによる乗船前説明もあり、英語ツアーですが、何の不便もありません。クジラにも遭遇でき、心地よい船上でのビールも最高でした！

I was able to see the whale's spout, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the whale itself, which was disappointing. The crew said that we were lucky to have encountered a whale, but honestly, I think it would be impossible to see one without a lot of luck. However, the staff were kind, which was nice.

クジラの潮吹きは見えたのですが姿を見る事はできなく残念な結果に…。
クルーの方達はあなた達はクジラに会えてラッキーと言ってましたが正直かなりの運の良さが無ければ姿を見るのは無理だと思います。
ただスタッフの方々は親切で良かったです。

I was really looking forward to it, as the brochures and TV commercials promised that we would see whales right in front of us... But when I strained my eyes, it was just barely visible from a distance. It didn't show up in the photos. Even when we spotted them far away, we didn't get any closer... and that was the end of it.

The staff were kind, but... while there may have been whales, considering the price, I was a bit disappointed.

パンフレットもテレビのコマーシャルも鯨が目の前で見られる様なものばかりですごーく楽しみにしていましたが…
目を凝らしてやっと…くらいの遠さ。
写真にはうつりませんでした。
遠くに見つけても近づいて行く事は無く…終了。

スタッフの方は親切でしたが…
確かに鯨は居たかもしれませんが…
お値段を考えるとちょっとガッカリでした。

I loved everything!
The lanas-caprinas was perfect
Creme were. Adorable
Sandbar was like a Paradise , a really dream
I really recoment
We hás a delicious lunch with shrimp, breads, fruits

According to the reviews, it seemed that only about 30% of people were able to see them, so I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out to be true. After that, I received advice that if I wanted to see whales, Maui or the Big Island would be better, and I thought it was rare to see them off the coast of Waikiki Beach on Oahu.

口コミ情報では約3割程度の人しかが観ることができたようでしたので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、その通りになってしまいました。その後クジラを観るなら、マウイ島かハワイ島が良いとアドバイスを受け、オアフ島のワイキキビーチの沖合で観えること自体が稀ではないかと思いました。

I couldn't see any whales, and we were clearly heading in the opposite direction from where the whales were supposed to be. We just took a boat ride around the waters of Waikiki. I wondered if a different tour would have been better. I don't really recommend this one!

クジラは見えないし、あきらかにクジラがいる方向とは別方向に進んでいた。
ただ、ワイキキの海を船で遊覧しただけでした。違うツアーのがよかったのかな。と思ったぐらいです。あまりおすすめしません！
