TESTIMONIALS

We came to Maui for a destination wedding and since we aren’t big Bachelorette or Bachelor Party people, we decided to just go on a dinner cruise with the whole Bridal Party. Well, our group was so large that by the time we bought enough tickets, we could actually save money by doing a private charter so we did! It was amazing having the boat to ourselves. The crew was all so fantastic and sweet to us and the drinks were flowing! The dancers were so great and the guy playing guitar and singing was too! It was exactly the relaxing event we needed before the wedding weekend got started!

We came to Maui to celebrate mine and my husband’s 50th Anniversary and brought our whole family, all 47 of us! I hoped that we could do something big like this that would accommodate everyone but I never imagined how smoothly it would all go! The planner was amazing, and got all the decorations and food perfect. All my grandkids had the best time in the water and on the slide. All the crewmembers were so good with them, and were just so great and helpful all around. I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate with my family and I’m so thankful for everything you all did for us.

You all are phenomenal. I felt at ease from the moment we started discussing the specifics until the moment we got back to the hotel afterwards. You absolutely made our retreat. Everyone had an incredible time, and the dinner was perfect. The cocktails were to die for! The music and dancing were also just so perfect. From everyone at our startup, and our loved ones, thank you so much for making our event so perfect!

Hawaii Nautical is one of Hawaii's largest ocean-activity providers.

We have a fleet of vessels islandwide serving many harbors across Oahu and the Big Island. We believe in delivering service, safety and the spirit of Aloha. We respect the ocean and the ecosystem, and we follow strict guidelines so that all marine wildlife is protected. Additionally, we honor the host culture and support the local communities in which we operate. We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow and for every tomorrow after. That’s why we are Hawaii’s first Dolphin SMART-recognized operator. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Dolphin SMART program educates guests about dolphin conservation and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild. We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices — such as not feeding fish. Coral conservation aims to save these valuable ecosystems, unite communities and preserve cultural identity. For decades, we’ve been wowing guests of all ages in Hawaii. And while provide exciting experiences for our guests, we practice the highest level of safety in everything we do. We treat guests like ohana , the Hawaiian word for “family,” which permeates everything we do.

The legendary Glacier Bay hull design, proven by various ocean crossings up to 1300 miles, has been fitted with the accoutrements of an inshore family cruiser, resulting in the new 2240 Renegade SX. The catamaran hull, which carries its ample width all the way to the bow, has two large bench seats forward of the windshield. Aft of the windshield, an L-shaped lounge with a removable table and an additional small bench seat provide plenty of seating under the optional Bimini top. The control console located to starboard features great visibility, good ergonomics, and room for electronics. The swivel helm seat provides more captain-comfort than a bench seat, lessening fatigue on long boating days. Across from the helm, the port-side console opens to reveal a utilitarian head with great storage for items that must stay dry.

While the rest of the boat says fun, the large, uncluttered cockpit screams Fish On! This boat comes ready to fish with standard features including gunnel mounted rod holders, rod storage under the starboard gunnel and in the head, a tackle storage center, and a bait prep station. The 30-gallon live-well incorporated into the bench seat aft of the helmsman’s chair is standard equipment; as are a saltwater wash-down system and two fish lockers under the cockpit sole to handle the day’s catch. The transom cutout for access to the swim platform is just wide enough to serve as a step for junior boaters or a good place to sit while donning swim fins or SCUBA gear. Options for the boat include a retractable swim ladder and a fresh water system with a cockpit shower. The 2240 also features an abundance of storage and easy access for electronics installation and systems maintenance.

By far the most notable feature is the boat’s ride. During sea-trials on a blustery day in Maui’s Southern Bay, the boat slices through the chop without a complaint at 40 miles per hour. We found the 22-footer to be quite economical, averaging well over two miles per gallon at 35 mph. The tendency of catamarans to “lean the wrong way” in high speed turns rather disconcerting. To lessen this predisposition, Glacier Bay has canted the engines outboard. (The propellers are not directly under, but rather outboard of the center of the motors.) Top quality hardware and construction methods are employed on the 2240.

• Top speed for the Glacier Bay 2240 Renegade SX is 25.0 mph , burning 18.4 gallons per hour (gph) .
• Best cruise for the Glacier Bay 2240 Renegade SX is 35.0 mph (56.3 kph), and the boat gets 1.8 miles per gallon (mpg), giving the boat a cruising range of 171 miles (436.13 kilometers).

Wondering Where to Pick Up Your Boat Rental?

All boat rentals require a prior reservation

Hawai’i is a very special place, and Maui is our favorite island.

The island is surrounded by clear blue water at a perfect temperature for snorkeling. The reefs are filled with an amazing variety of tropical fish and sea turtles. Humpback whales flock to Maui’s waters for half of the year, and it’s not unusual to spot dolphins during the day. This place is full of divine connections and there truly is no better way to experience it than behind the helm of your own private yacht.

The absolute BEST way to Whale Watch…

Kohola, or Pacific Humpback Whales as they are known to the rest of the world, are some of the most majestic and gentle creatures on earth. People from all over the globe arrive to Maui to witness this awe inspiring migration destination and many leave with life changing perspectives that change them for the better. Every year these glorious giants of the sea make their way from their cold summer home of the bearing straights, near Alaska. They bring with them one purpose, to reproduce. Whether it’s by the act of competing for a worthy mate or by giving birth to the next generation, these animals have a lot to share with the casual looker. Experiencing this life altering event can truly only be done best from your own vessel.

Into Sport Fishing?

Our boats are mean fishing machines. They can get you to locations that hold some of the world’s most prized tropical deep sea fish. We offer many options for your fishing needs from full-color GPS navigation and fishing charts to high-quality rod and reel setups complete with lures that have all been proven to catch the famous fish of Maui. Mahi Mahi, Ono, Ahi, and even the elusive Marlin have all hit the deck of our boats. And don’t worry, if you don’t know how to clean them, we can help with that too. Our staff are avid watermen with years of experience both fishing and navigating these waters. This is a trip not be missed…

Maui Showdown: Where Should I Stay? South vs West

Sep 20, 2024 | Maui , Travel Tips

Aloha mai kākou! So you’ve snagged plane tickets to Maui, the land of stunning beaches, epic hikes, and enough mai tais to make a parrot jealous. But here’s the rub: where do you stay? South Maui, with its chill vibes and killer beaches, or West Maui, the historical charmer with fancy resorts? Don’t worry, braddah (or sistah!), this blog will be your vacation GPS, guiding you away from tourist traps and towards the Maui that matches your vibe.

South Maui Vacation Getaway

For the beach bum with a budget (and a sense of adventure).

Picture yourself bronzing on pristine beaches in South Maui, toes wiggling in the warm sand, the soundtrack of gentle waves lapping at the shore. Condos are plentiful and way more affordable than West Maui’s luxury digs. Sure, there might be less “wow” factor, but hey, you save that for the epic sandcastle you’ll build (or the epic whale-watching trip you’ll book!).

South Maui Highlights

• Maalaea – Kick off your South Maui adventure in Maalaea, a charming town known for its harbor and world-class ocean activities. Take a whale-watching tour in the winter months, snorkel with vibrant marine life, or catch a breathtaking sunset over the Pacific.
• Kihei – This town is your South Maui base camp. Featuring over 6 miles of pristine white sand beaches, affordable vacation rentals, great restaurants, and views that will take your breath away – perfect for sunset strolls and post-snorkel snoozes. It’s so sprawling we broke it up into North & South Kihei !
• Wailea –  Okay, so Wailea does have its fair share of fancy froufrou resorts. But don’t let that intimidate you! There are beautiful beaches here too, and the snorkeling is phenomenal. Just pack a picnic lunch to avoid resort sticker shock.
• Makena – Secluded beaches, dramatic lava rock formations, and a hidden gem called Little Beach (clothing optional, wink wink). Just remember, this is a “respect the locals” zone, so keep it classy.

West Maui Holiday Escape

For the fancy fomo-fueled traveler.

West Maui offers a different kind of Maui magic. Imagine this: you swan dive into a luxurious resort, whales breaching in the distance, a personal assistant offering a chilled towel for your imaginary sweat. That’s the West Maui dream.

Here’s the reality: it’s a tourist haven. But hey, if first-class experiences and designer cocktails are your jam, then go for it! Just be prepared for resort prices and that awkward moment when you realize your inflatable pool flamingo is a tad…basic compared to the yachts in the marina. West Maui also boasts some hidden gems for nature lovers.

West Maui Highlights

• Kaanapali – Think of high-rise resorts, championship golf courses, and enough luaus to make you wonder if they ever wear real clothes.
• Kapalua –  Upscale resorts nestled amongst emerald cliffs. Think secluded beaches, infinity pools, and the distinct possibility of running into a celebrity (or at least their personal assistant carrying their designer water bottle).
• Kahana –  Escape the crowds in Kahana, a quieter stretch of coastline with stunning beaches and excellent snorkeling spots. Hike the Kapalua Coastal Trail for breathtaking views or explore hidden tide pools teeming with marine life.
• Napili –  This charming town offers a taste of old Hawaii with a laid-back vibe. Relax on Napili Bay’s golden sands, explore the historic Napili Kai State Marine Conservation Area, or tee off at the Kapalua Golf Club (if your budget allows!).

The Verdict: Maui Matchmaker

So, which side are you? Here’s a cheat sheet:

Beach bumming on a budget & adventure calling? South Maui is your haven. It will also be the way to live among the locals, not just being served by them. Most of our rentals come with extras like beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, and sand toys for the keiki. Just don’t forget the sunscreen!

Luxury indulgence & historical charm?  West Maui, my friend. Just loosen your designer purse strings. Go all in and enjoy the ride.

Nature enthusiast seeking a mix of relaxation & exploration? South Maui is closer to the major natural wonders that our island paradise is known for. From Iao Valley to Mount Haleakala, South Maui is a perfect central hub for all your vacation activities!

Remember, there’s no wrong answer – except staying at home!

Now get out there, explore Maui, and make memories that won’t have you reminiscing about that “shoulda stayed at the other side” feeling.
