Whale Watching Private Charters
Perfect for visitors and Kamaainas with a desire for an intimate experience with Hawaii's Humpback Whales without the cattle-boat atmosphere. Two trips per day allows you scheduling flexibility in scheduling your private sail. Our luxury yachts are limited to your party alone ensuring privacy, comfort and no crowds! Departure from Honolulu permits guests to enjoy the beauty and excitement of blue-water sailing surrounded by these spectacular mammals. These whales visit the Hawaiian Islands every year between December and May. Reaching sizes of 35-50' and weighing up to 50 tons these intelligent visitors return annually to deliver their newborn calves in Hawaii's sheltered, warm waters and start another generation of these endangered species. Marine life such as dolphins, sea turtles and manta & eagle rays are also frequently sighted while sailing. Join us for a truly memorable morning or afternoon on the water
