MAKUA (sunfish) is the name of our 27′ boat. She handles the water along the coast with ease.
We want you to have a fun time on the waters of Hawaii. Our comfortable boat will take you to secluded beaches and coves where you can’t hike. And offshore to see marine life like Humpback Whales, Dolphins, Manta Rays, False Killer Whales and Pilot Whales.
Makua-27′ fast, clean & comfortable. 6 Passengers Max. This is the perfect boat for exploreing the coastal waters of the Big Island of Hawaii. We have a cabin for your gear to keep dry and shade. Also, a head. Our flybridge gives you a birds eye view of anything that may be within a mile of our boat. The bow is a wonderful place to ride and watch dolphins swim in the bow wake. With a swim deck and ladder, it’s easy on & off the boat to snorkel with Dolphins or on the Coral Reefs. You may have the boat just to your family since we limit a max.of 6 people plus crew. It’s wonderful to have a private charter with just you and your friends.
