All Reviews for Private Sailing Catamaran

Gorgeous day! Captain Jeff and crew made our trip comfortable. Stop at Natatorium made the ash release so special. Great views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and Ala Moana. Special treat when a very large pod of dolphins escorted us back to the pier.

Rearranged trip to bypass hurricane Kiko. Flew my Dads ceremonial US flag at half mast.

The Captain and his first mate Loren were handsome and Beautiful.

The ship was extremely comfortable even with the big swells from Kiko. We felt safe all the way past 3 miles for our ceremony.

Access to the marina was easy with lots of parking. Can’t say enough about this boat and crew members who made our ceremony extraordinary.

Captain Jack, yes, his real name, and his crew, made our celebration, perfect! The beautiful day didn't hurt either, but they were informative, helpful, patient, and they made the day a fun time.
Will definitely be back.

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 🤙🏼🌺

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

Our group had an amazing time with this crew on their beautiful catamaran. we travelled out to a great snorkeling spot and everyone in the group saw turtles, eels and so many fish. the crew was so kind and helpful, setting everything up for us to relax and enjoy the outing. Thank you!

We booked the private charter sunset cruise for our post wedding celebration. Even though it was windy and the boat was bumpy, the crew made sure all the guests were well taken care of! Highly recommend it!

We had an amazing time! Even though it was windy…my family had a blast! The captain, Mikey and Lexi were great!

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.

This event of sending our beloved brother and nephew to their ultimate resting place gave a wonderful closure.

Thank you Captain Rich and your wonderful crew and staff for all your assistant in every step of the way. They were very attentive and made sure everything were in line and ready to go.
The service turned out so beautiful w/ a perfect weather and sail….

We would love to come and sail with you & your crew again in the future!!!!

Much Mahalos from our families

The entire team created a very peaceful atmosphere for our private service.

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!

This was a perfect day! From the clean and organized vessel to the safe, fun, and knowledgeable crew…nothing could be improved. I highly recommend!

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!!
