Nobody knows the waters of Maui better than our crew. Let us host you on our Gold Coast catamaran as we explore and snorkel the incredible coastlines of both Maui and our neighboring island, Lāna’i. We'll check the conditions for the day and take off across the channel or up the coastline to the day's best snorkel spot! Spend some time soaking in the sun and the amazing underwater sealife, followed by a delicious lunch and drinks. The wind typically picks up in the afternoon, just in time for an exhilarating sail back to the harbor.

The crew,Nick, James, Jade, and Braden, did an excellent job giving us a great experience on the ocean. They were very attentive and kept safety a priority, while still being entertaining. Would definitely recommend this experience to others. We had turtles swimming up close and personal!

The Catamaran Sail boat was BEAUTIFIL. Very spacious and fun for all 8 of us ages 10 to 78. The food and drinks offered were great. It was a beautiful day with sun and light wind. Nicholas, Jeff, Braden and Dakota were so funny, friendly, helpful and did everything to please and care for us. After a full lunch they offered delicious chocolate chip cookies for dessert. This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. I would highly recommend this adventure for everyone. They supplied all the gear and made everyone feel welcomed.

Getting on and off the boat - very helpful even though I thought I was going to have a difficult time, there were two crew members on the dock and two on the boat to assist. They made it very easy. The crew was top-notch! Very friendly, informative and experienced. They watched carefully when we were snorkeling to make sure we were okay; they brought drinks and water to us where we were sitting so we didn't have to walk around the boat. The catamaran was very clean and had plenty of room. Lunch was delicious! We only went to one snorkeling location which was good, but not great. Not a big variety on fish like we've seen in areas like Maui, Kapalua Bay. We would definitely take this tour again just to enjoy the service, catamaran and ocean!

Great crew, good times. They found a great snorkel spot in a day where the conditions were less than great.

This was a great excursion, but I would describe it more as a boating excursion with snorkeling. Despite being the end of whale season and the captain repeatedly warning us that we probably wouldn't see any, we were lucky enough to see a single whale and shortly after a pod of 4-5 whales. No dolphins, but I think the whales make up for it. We also saw flying fish on our way out to Lanai. We were the only boat in that area of Lana'i which made for less-crowded snorkeling. I was a bit underwhelmed with the snorkeling - just didn't seem to have as much quantity or variety of fish and sea creatures as I was expecting. Snorkeling was only an hour but that left time to raise the sails and coast around while eating lunch and enjoying cocktails, which was probably one of the best parts of the day. Shoutout to the captain (Nick) and crew (Noah, Dakota, and Shannon) for making the trip safe, informative, and enjoyable. FYI - there was no stop on land at Lana'i (even though the website's FAQ mention it).

Weather prevented us to go to Lanai and snorkel but plan B worked out wonderfully with snorkeling in Namalu Bay. Captain Chase kept us from congested snorkeling areas and we had a lively wind to sail by coming back to the Harbor. All deck hands , Noah, Jeff and Dakota were friendly and professional. My husband does not snorkel but the boat experience was great for him. The crew even reeled in a barracuda as they trolled on the sail back. The color of the water and the views were spectacular! Booking experience and communication were excellent! I would highly recommend Sail Maui.
