Epic 34' Catamaran Sailing in Waikiki
5 stars all around! Captain Polu was extremely communicative prior to our trip, attentive during the tour, and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great time. We rented the boat for 4 hours to watch the sunset and it was the absolute highlight of our experience. Would definitely do it all over again any time we are visiting the island!

Tony and his boat were wonderful. We had three kids who love to swim and they got their fill. We saw lots of fish and two turtles, the kids got to jump and dive their hearts out. Tony was very knowledgeable and kept us safe, we all had lots of fun.

Michael provided my family with such a wonderful experience on our recent boat trip. He was very kind and friendly and accommodating to Everything I asked of him. My family had a lot of fun on the boat ride and he gave us our privacy and moment when it was time to scatter our Dad's ashes. I'm so thankful too that Michael was able to drive the boat for us as none of us had any experience. Everything I asked of him he Delivered! So trustworthy and a very kind person. Thank you again for Everything! Mahalo, J. Oyama

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Tony! Captain Tony delivered an absolutely perfect charter experience on his stunning 45ft yacht! From the moment we stepped aboard, his professionalism and warm hospitality made us feel like VIPs. The vessel was immaculate – spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for an incredible day. Our 3-hour late morning snorkel charter along the Waikiki and Diamond Head coastline was absolutely magical. Tony knew exactly where to find the best coral reefs and clearest water. The snorkeling was incredible. The views of Diamond Head from the water were breathtaking. Perfect 3-hour adventure that we’ll never forget. Highly recommend Captain Tony for anyone wanting an amazing Waikiki snorkel experience! Perfect for couples and families with a party of 5!

Had a last minute change of plans for my friend’s bachelorette and reached out to Captain Polu for a sunset sail. He was quick to respond, very friendly, answered all of our questions, and was flexible with start and end times. We had an amazing time swimming and watching the sunset. He also provided towels, floaties, a yeti cooler, and Bluetooth speaker. Highly recommend and would definitely reach out to him again for future sails! :)
