Snorkeling adventure - We were lucky enough to show up and have the entire boat to our six person group. We sailed for about an hour seeing various sites and then snorkeled at a large reef outside Kona for over an hour (plenty of time). Finished up with a great lunch and soft drinks/alcoholic beverages. Check them out for your next snorkeling adventure!

Great day on the water - We had a great time out on the water with Michael, Isaiah, and Cesar. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and an octopus while snorkeling. Then we put the sails up and had a great time. The food and cocktails were great and even though the boat can fit over 40 people, we only had 6 people, so lots of extra room on the boat.

Great Ride with Captain Mike (after We Found the Marina and Boat)! - We had some trouble finding the boat--be sure to note that the sign by the boat at the marina says "Nautical Hawaii" and NOT the name of the catamaran. We never say the slip number or letter! Also, be sure you follow the directions to the location and parking very accurately...parking is at the end of the marina closest to the sea! Great ride with Captain Mike--only four of us and we had fun!!

Great crew, beautiful boat, and stunning snorkeling spot - Had the most amazing time on the “fancy boat” with captain Mike and first mate Isaiah. They were very attentive but also very down to earth and fun to be aboard with. Had lots of great drink choices, snacks, and lunch. The boat was clean and beautiful with both shady spots and many areas in the sun. It was a very smooth sail that led to beautiful location to snorkel. Lots of stunning fish and easy water. Mike and Isaiah were awesome with life guarding and giving great tips for gear. Even was given a chance to hold a sea urchin! Overall incredible tome and will definitely be back in the future!

Great three hour catamaran experience. - Captain Michael and crew, Nicole and Kupaa were great. Kind, helpful and very professional. One hour to Kona harbor, one hour to snorkel and one hour to sail back to the harbor. Perfect time for the days activities.

Book with no hesitation - Other travelers should know book this without hesitation. It was an awesome experience, somewhat spiritual for me and my wife and my son turned out to be a fish at home in the water. We are 1000% satisfied with Captain Mike and Captain Gabe.

Friendly crew - We did not see turtles but the friendliness of the crew made up for that. It was an especially nice cruise since we were the only 2 on the catamaran. We had our own private sailing!
