We are especially proud to have been given the 2008 Living Reef Award—one of the few activity companies in Hawaii to be so honored. We are one of only three companies to be awarded the “GOLD” certification by the Hawaii Ecotourism Association.

And while we appreciate this recognition we still feel it is important to earn our reputation one guest at a time! Our goal is to make you feel like family. Many people notice the way our crew knows each guest by name before breakfast is finished. We have one of the safest sailing catamarans in Hawai'i, that is only a small part of the reason folks come back to sail with us year after year.
