Ash Scattering Memorial Ceremony Sail - Manu Kai Catamaran Private Charter
Celebration of Life for Captain Charlene J.
Reviewed by: Jaudon Ohana
Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺

Holokai Catamaran Private Ash Scattering at Sea from Waikiki Beach
Ash ceremony
Reviewed by: Superb support for memorial ash service
Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.
The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

Reviewed by: Moore Ohana
Amazing !!!! Our experience was so easy working with the entire staff and crew. Mikiko booked everything perfectly as requested and the crew of the NaHoku 2 and Manu Kai (Ke Kai) gave us a cruise our entire Ohana will remember forever as we scattered the ashes of our beloved loved one. Would definitely recommend their services and return for any future needs.

Waikiki Sunset Sail Private Charter for Large Groups - Makani Catamaran
Patrol Squadron Four Sunset Cruise
Reviewed by: Pete Dillenbeck
We had a very special sunset cruise on the evening of November 3rd onboard the Makani Catamaran! I think we ended up with 22 in our Navy reunion group and it was the last of four events we had this weekend. Our crew was very professional and friendly. It was a smooth cruise from start to finish. The guys are great bartenders and my Mai Tai was outstanding! The views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and the sunset were amazing! I would strongly recommend this private cruise to any group of 20 to 49 people. Thanks Captain C for an amazing experience!

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel Private Charter & Dolphin Watch Experience
An amazing experience!!
Reviewed by: Melanie
We had the BEST time on our Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Dolphin & Snorkel Private Charter on October 10th!! We did the 3-hour private charter. We had a group of 25, all family, visiting Oahu for our wedding celebration and had booked this cruise for a little pre-wedding fun. Well, the cruise was beyond our expectations. We had the best time cruising around and snorkeling. We snorkeled and saw dolphins, sea turtles, and got to feed the fish. We had several kids under age 5 and they were able to accommodate us all. The crew was absolutely amazing. They took care of everyone’s needs, made us feel special, and created a super fun environment, all the while making sure we were safe. The food and drinks were also amazing!! Mine and my husband’s families cannot stop raving about the cruise and how amazing it was. It was also suitable for all ages, which was great, as we had six kids under 5. Also, booking this cruise through VELTRA was a breeze. They were so helpful and answered all my questions. Stop your searching and book this cruise, you will not regret it. I could not recommend this enough!! Thank you to the team for making this day so special for us and our family!!

Great experience!
Reviewed by: Jessica
The boat crew was extremely helpful and nice. My group of friends and I had a great time hanging out on the boat and watching the sunset. I would recommend booking a private catamaran like this one if you have a larger group and you want a more intimate setting. Will definitely do this again the next time I'm in Hawaii!

Ash Scattering Memorial Ceremony Sail - Manu Kai Catamaran Private Charter
Best possible send off
Reviewed by: Lisa W
The captain (Chris) and crew (Athena, Jeff, and Beau) were outstanding - so kind and laid back, very helpful in selecting a spot to send off my parents' ashes. The catamaran was beautiful and a lovely ride - we even got to do a little whale watching while we were out. It was fantastic to be able to include so many family members on the cruise - plenty of room. The waters were calm and clear, it was a perfect day and perfect way to say goodbye.

We did a shorter sunset cruise, and the captain and crew were able to navigate windy conditions incredibly. Most of us on board did not have sea legs, and ended up loving the experience. Would 100% book again!

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran Private Charter - Waikiki Snorkel Sail
Amazing views and service!! Would definitely do it again
Reviewed by: jumpingjellyfish
We booked a 2 hour sail for a bachelorette. When we got there, they mentioned the 2 hour option didn't allow swimming (the 3 hour did!). However, when they saw that we had come prepared with floaties, they accommodated us to ensure we could go swimming and use what we brought for our 2 hour sail! We never felt pressured to extend our sailing time at all - in the end, we ended up extending it to 3 hours anyways with no regrets at all.
The crew took such great care of us - they made sure our cups were never empty and took all the group photos we wanted, even from multiple angles unprompted! Some of us went diving with the crew members, and they happily pointed out all the sea creatures so we wouldn't miss it! They even took beautiful drone photos and sent them our way afterwards.
It became one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely book again.

Feb 20th Snorkeling Cruise on Royal Hawaiian Catamaran
Reviewed by: Lonnie
Excellent job by the crew. Service and facilities were great. They paid attention to the youngsters (4-10) and the old folks.... Saw lots of fish snorkeling, but also a mother and baby whale, spinner dolphins, turtles and they also provided interesting info. The seas were a little rough the day we went out but the crew made it quite comfortable. Will not hesitate to use the Royal Hawaiian Catamaran crew again!!!!!!!!

The most beautiful boat and best time!
Reviewed by: Michaela
This boat is stunning and absolutely perfect. We did a private charter and basically could customize our experience. They had a beautiful charcuterie board for us, a cooler full of ice, a speaker ready to be connected to our bluetooth, they were an amazing crew - so friendly. Really loved everything about this experience and will absolutely book a tour with this catamaran again.

Private Waikiki Day Sail Charter & Oahu Boat Rental - Royal Hawaiian Catamaran
Amazing Aloha Experience
Reviewed by: Tracy
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.

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran Private Charter - Waikiki Sunset Sailing Cruise
*5 Star Amazing Sailing Experience!*
Reviewed by: Heather
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!!

Beautiful Farewell for my Mom
Reviewed by: Deanne C.
We had a seamless experience with booking our private ash scattering on the Holokai catamaran. My mother wanted her ashes to be scattered off of Waikiki and it was such a beautiful celebration. All of the Holokai crew were wonderful and the ladies who helped with the booking via phone were very helpful too. I’m so glad we decided to book this private charter. My family had a very memorable experience as we celebrated Moms life. The bonus was being able to play a playlist of my moms favorite songs. Mahalo Nui Loa!!
