Start your morning by meeting the Captain of your private cruise at Ko Olina Marina. After being greeted and boarding the vessel, get comfortable as the yacht departs to the horizon. Enjoy the space of three bedrooms, three restrooms, a full kitchen, lounging areas, and even bean bags! Settle in and enjoy the breeze through your hair sipping on a drink from the hosted bar that includes soft drinks, beer, white wine, sparkling wines, and spirits.

As you sail up the West Oahu Coast keep an eye on the water as marine life teems through our ocean. From the boat, you may see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin, Humpback Whales (seasonally), Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Dolphin, Turtles and even Flying Fish.

Upon arrival and anchoring at the snorkel area, get ready for some fun in the water. Professional snorkeling gear and instruction will get you in and under the sea to view an array of tropical fish, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, eels and much more! Have fun jumping off the boat, dipping your feet off the swim step or relaxing on the inner tubes.

After a bit of adventure, return to the yacht for a fully prepared personal lunch. Dine on your personal meal that includes pasta salads, fruits, cheeses, Hawaiian chips, and an entrée!

Finally, bask in the sun as the captain slowly makes way to return to the marina. A true styled experience, signature service, and endless aloha.
