OUR ALL-INCLUSIVE PRIVATE SAILING CHARTERS INCLUDE:

Dolphin and Whale Watching While Sailing

Set sail on our private yacht charter to spot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat along the Kona coast. These encounters unfold naturally during your trip and are often a highlight for guests enjoying a relaxed day at sea.

Snorkeling in Crystal Clear Waters (Gear Included)

The Kona coast offers year-round calm, crystal clear waters with vibrant coral reefs, and your crewed yacht charter includes all snorkel gear, prescription masks, a warm freshwater shower, and towels. Snorkeling is optional and unhurried, giving guests time to explore at an easy pace.

Stand Up Paddleboarding from Your Private Boat

We keep two soft-top paddleboards onboard our sailing yacht charter, allowing guests to explore the shoreline and enjoy an elevated view of the Kona coast. Paddleboarding adds a relaxed, fun way to enjoy the sun and open waters during your vacation.

Food & Beverages Served Onboard

Enjoy local Hawaii pupus and refreshing drinks onboard your private boat charter, with tropical bites and a full Captain’s Bar featuring beer, wine, cocktails, and nonalcoholic options. Everything is included, so guests can relax and enjoy the moment without planning or cooking.

Comfortable Amenities on a Sailing Vessel

When you’re onboard the Moana sailing vessel, all you need is a change of clothes and a light jacket for sunset cruises. Your yacht charter includes towels, reef-safe sunscreen, water sports gear, fishing gear, and everything needed for a comfortable day at sea.

Fishing Gear Included

Try your hand at fishing along the Kona coast with gear included as part of your private charter. Fishing fits easily into the itinerary and offers a simple way to enjoy time on the water while taking in the scenery.
