The Kona coast offers year-round calm, clear waters with vibrant coral reefs, including highlights of Kona’s Coast, and your tour includes all snorkel gear, prescription masks, a warm freshwater shower, and towels.
Snorkeling is optional and guided, making this charter vacation approachable for beginners while still fun for experienced guests. From a well equipped private yacht, guests can ease into the water with guidance from the captain and crew, keeping the sailing experience relaxed, flexible, and enjoyable for everyone on board.
Stand Up Paddle boarding
We keep two soft-top paddle boards onboard so you can explore the shoreline and enjoy a unique, elevated view that may include turtles or dolphins along the Kona coast.
Paddle boarding adds a relaxed way to enjoy time on the water during your yacht charter, offering a quiet sense of fun and connection to the sea for guests of all ages aboard.
Food & Beverages
A private yacht charter should feel effortless, and that includes meals and drinks. On this crewed yacht, food and beverages are fully taken care of so guests can settle in and enjoy the journey without managing the entire process.
Enjoy local Hawaii pupus (appetizers) and refreshing drinks, with tropical bites and freshly prepared dishes, plus a full Captain’s Bar featuring beer, wine, cocktails, and nonalcoholic options.
Comfortable Amenities
When you’re on the Moana, all you need is a change of clothes and a light jacket for sunset sailing. Your charter includes towels, reef-safe sunscreen, water sports gear, fishing gear, and everything else for a memorable experience.
This well equipped private yacht offers class service in a comfortable setting, making it the right yacht for guests who prefer a quiet alternative to a crowded cruise or charter fleet.
Fishing Gear Included
Try your hand at fishing along the Kona coast with fishing gear included. We offer a relaxed and authentic way to experience Hawaii’s ocean while enjoying the scenery and marine life around you.
Guided by an experienced captain and crew, fishing becomes another way to explore the coastline and enjoy a wonderful time on the water during your charter vacation.
