With our private catamaran charters, you can control where you go and what you do! The possibilities to explore any Hawaiian islands (weather-dependent) are endless! Our charters depart from Waikiki on the island of Oahu. From there, we bui ld an itinerary based on your dream adventure on the water. We have pre-planned packages to help get you started!

Below you will find pre-built packages to choose from. These are entirely customizable to suit your needs or liking. Charter length times start at 2 hours and can be spent on the water snorkeling in the beautiful waters of Waikiki or looking for wildlife like humpback whales. Choose to explore one of Hawaii's most popular turtle snorkeling spots: Turtle Canyon, or visit several Hawaiian islands on a luxurious 5-day, 4-night adventure!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The base price of all boat charters includes the full use of the catamaran and its equipment. An experienced, licensed captain and crew are included, as well as equipment like snorkeling gear, towels, ice, water, and local snacks. If you're having a fantastic time and want to spend more time on the water, all charter times can be increased while you relax for a discounted hourly rate!

Choose any of the following options or combine them any way you’d like and set sail for the adventure of a lifetime! 

Jump into the spectacular blue waters off Oahu's south shore in the Waikiki, Honolulu, and Diamond Head area. Catch a glimpse of magnificent marine life like Green Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins, and Tropical Reef Fish at one of our favorite snorkel sites, Turtle Canyon! We also have dive locations in the Hawaii Kai area along the coast between China Walls and Hanauma Bay, and with our catamaran, the boat ride couldn't be more relaxing. While on our way to dive locations located past Diamond head, there is a chance to see whales! During their time in Hawaii, whales sing long beautiful songs to attract mates. While diving along the walls near Hanauma bay, these songs echo through the water, amplifying them. 

Looking to capture the most magnificent moment of the day as the sun sets below the horizon along the Honolulu and Waikiki coastline? This boat adventure runs from Ala Wai Harbor to Diamond Head and back. Relax as you gaze upon the beauty of the Waikiki coastline with your friends or family while you create memories that will last a lifetime.

This charter packs everything you could ever want to do on the North Shore of Oahu and more! Skip the traffic from Laniakea beach, "Turtle Beach," and come for a ride along the famous North Shore to see some of the world's most renowned surfing locations, Sunset Beach and Bonzai Pipeline, with the tallest point on Oahu, Mount Ka'ala, in the background. Anything can happen on our journey, so keep an eye out for resting Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins in Waimea Bay, breaching Humpback Whales (seasonal), and the famous Ewa Bird soaring overhead.

Our guide will highlight marine life, identify fish species, and showcase what makes Sharks Cove and Three Tables a unique place.

While enjoying the beautiful water of the North Shore, There's no better place to watch a Hawaiian sunset! While watching the sun gracefully set, guests have been lucky enough to witness pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins, humpback whales (seasonal), and even pods of Melon Headed Whales, Pilot Whales, and False Killer Whales on rare occasions. 

Another great option (and one of the coolest things Oahu has to offer) is the Kaneohe Sandbar. Located just 16 miles from Waikiki on the east side of Oahu in Kaneohe Bay, it is one of the world's largest sandbars where people pull their boats up, park and relax, snorkel, and have some of the best parties on the island! With our private catamaran charters, you can party in style! BYO style, so feel free to bring drinks, snacks, lunch, dinner, or anything else you feel would elevate your experience!

Overnight Catamaran Charter

24-30 hours - ($150/hour)

One of our favorite adventures is a beautiful overnight journey to the west side of Oahu! Sail into the sunset from Waikiki, enjoying a lovely dinner. Anchor overnight on the most exclusive side of Oahu to stargaze, where the milky way can be seen in all its glory. Wake up, enjoy a breakfast of muffins, fruit, coffee, and juice, and get ready to dive into the clearest waters of Oahu. Spend the day looking for fantastic wildlife like Pilot whales, melonhead whales, Hawaiian spinner dolphins, and other deep sea creatures. Enjoy snorkeling in some of Oahu's clearest and pristine waters before returning to Waikiki.

Multi-Day Catamaran Charter

5 days, 4 nights - $100/hour

Easily the most exclusive way to explore the Hawaiian Islands is to travel on your own private chartered catamaran. Skip the flights, hotels, taxis, and crowds of people while you see a side of Hawaii that very few people ever get to experience on our multi-day adventures. Below is a preview of our 5-day, 4-night adventure around Lanai, Maui, and Molokai. These charters are entirely customizable to fit your dream!  

This one-of-a-kind adventure starts in Waikiki on the Island of O’ahu. From the dock in Honolulu, we will enjoy a beautiful sunset then set sail and begin our journey to the Island of Lana’i! Lana’i is a truly remote place with a population of around 3,000 people. Some of the most untouched reefs in the Hawaiian chain are just off of Lanai's south shore. The water is filled with turtles, bright coral reefs, fish, manta rays, and more! This island’s beauty is truly one of a kind, we always have a hard time saying goodbye!

Wave aloha to the island of O’ahu after you enjoy a breathtaking sunset along the Waikiki coastline! Night one consists of our passage to Lana’i. Enjoy your dinner and sunset, then get cozy in one of the bedrooms and enjoy the ride! Close your eyes and dream about the day you will have when you reopen them in the morning!

Wake up to an amazing golden sunrise with stunning mountain views and spend the day snorkeling, diving, spearfishing, and exploring Lanai's beautiful underwater coastline! Enjoy lunch on the boat in the late afternoon while we make our way toward Maui's South Shore. Many marine mammals can be spotted along this journey – especially whales during whale season! During their season, the waters between Lanai, Maui, and Molokai have been known to be some of the best whale watching worldwide! Experience whales breaching, playing, and mating in the channels as we continue on our passage – a truly one of a kind experience! 

We will arrive at a beautiful anchorage near Maluaka beach, where Turtle Town is located! Turtle Town is one of Maui's best places to go snorkeling with turtles! This is just miles from Molokini crater, so it's the perfect place to settle in for the night as we get ready for another beautiful day on the water! During the night at our first anchorage, we commonly encounter beautiful manta rays passing by during the night. With our special in-water lights, we can easily spot fantastic marine animals as they come and feed off the plankton that are attracted to the light. If you would like to dine on fresh fish during our journey, there is always a possibility to catch fish, so this is the perfect time to enjoy a fresh fish dinner!

Day three is dedicated to snorkeling at Molokini crater and Maluaka beach (a.k.a. Turtle Town!), two of Maui’s most unique and famous snorkeling spots. We will start the morning snorkeling at Molokini crater which has two vastly different sides to explore. One side of Molokini crater is a shallow calm reef which is perfect for people who are new to snorkeling. For our more experienced snorkelers, the backside of Molokini crater is a beautiful sea wall that has over a 300 foot drop off with breathtaking schools of deep water butterfly fish, lobsters, puffer fish, and more! In the afternoon, we can fully explore Turtle Town to bring your turtle dreams to life! The crater is just a few miles away from Turtle Town, so it's just a quick sail over! If the weather is right, on our way to Turtle Town you can spot the Hawaiian islands Kahoolawe, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai all at once from the boat!

We will sail the west coast of Maui to enjoy a beautiful sunset and dinner. We will stop at the local supermarket for your favorite store bought ice cream and some snacks to finish off another epic day out on the water and the beautiful island of Maui!

We start our final full day with snorkeling at Mala Wharf, a broken down loading dock that was once used for shipping pineapples and sugar cane from Maui. This is such a unique snorkeling spot because of all the underwater structures it has to offer that definitely make for a unique underwater photo! For your final afternoon, we will visit Shipwreck beach (weather dependent) on Lanai’s north shore where a massive shipwreck lies just off the beach. If the weather is limiting us, we will spend the day fishing, snorkeling, and whale watching along the south shore of Molokai!

Celebrate your journey through the islands with one last dinner and a gorgeous sunset off the coast of Molokai! We can share photos we have all gathered along the way to make sure your memories last a lifetime. Tuck yourself in for the night and prepare for the journey back to Oahu in the morning!

Take in your last golden sunrise and prepare for the sail back to Waikiki on Oahu. As we make our way back to our home base on Oahu, keep your eyes peeled for pelagic marine life like whale sharks, orcas, whales, dolphins, and more! This channel is one of our favorites for spotting marine animals and their activity. We will arrive back at the dock mid-day to late afternoon to unload. This journey is filled with so much activity and so many beautiful views that we hope you will carry with you forever!

"Forrest is absolutely incredible. My boyfriend (now fiancé) booked a sunset cruise with Oahu Ocean Aventures and it was absolutely perfect. Forrest and Tyler made our night so special and helped coordinate my proposal!! Every detail was thought out and it was the most perfect evening. I can't thank them enough and I highly recommend you book with them. Forrest will work with you on a custom itinerary and he sails to other islands too, so what are you waiting for?!"

Raving Reviews

"A group of four of us took a morning sailing cruise out past the shores of Waikiki. Captain Nate was a great source of information and shared some fantastic recommendations of things to see/do. He was very personable and informative and made our trip very enjoyable."

"This was an amazing way to end our vacation in Hawaii. Our family sailed for two hours and enjoyed the sunset while eating and drinking. Best of all it was just us! Our own private cruise. Paul was an incredible captain and host who took care of all of our needs. We just sat back and enjoyed the ride."

"My family thoroughly enjoyed a three-hour sail trip on "My Sunshine." Captain Paul was amazing, as was the boat trip. Beautiful say on Waikiki swimming, sailing and enjoying the sun. Perfect cruise!!!!"

"I had a WONDERFUL experience. Captain Ken was incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate with. He and his crew made sure that we had an enjoyable and safe time out on the water. The boat was incredibly clean, and well-equipped with everything you would need - snorkels, bathrooms, and a full bar! Can't wait to sail again with Tradewind Charters."

Loved by Friends & Families

Great catamaran crew. This was the best experience we had during our time herein HI. We had the whole boat to ourselves for 2 hours. We sailed, snorkeled, and swam with sea turtles. I highly recommend this over those large group snorkeling excursions with the huge crowds. Very personal experience for our family. Would do this again on our next trip for sure.

If you prefer to stay completely dry and relaxed on your trip, opt for one of our sunset cruises and have your camera ready to catch the gorgeous gold hues of a sunset on Hawaii.

A MUST-DO EXPERIENCE IN HAWAII!

I booked a last minute sunset whale watching cruise with North Shore, and I had a wonderful time. The captain and his second were both very nice, offering us drinks and lots of lore about the whales and the island. Despite the rains nearby, we stayed dry the whole time, and the captain guided us directly to a pair of Humpbacks that were feeding nearby. A nice additional touch was staying out on the water for an extra half-hour to catch the entire sunset, which was gorgeous. Highly recommended!

We had a great time and saw at least 8-10 whales including a young calf. The boat was well run and the crew were great. The hydrophone to listen to the whales was awesome! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time with Captain Mark and Skye! Our family of 10, including an infant, went out on their catamaran. They were wonderful hosts, and super accommodating. We saw tons of dolphins, several whales and a couple of turtles. They were very engaging with our young adults and taught them how to spot the animals, making a wonderful and interactive tour. I would definitely recommend this company and will go again when we get the chance.

I would give North Shore Catamarans 10 stars if I could. Amazing cruise. A young whale breached several times near our boat. Then the mother breached and the youngster breached several more times. What an amazing sight! The boat was very stable & comfortable. The crew was delightful. We highly recommend North Shore Catamarans.

Unlike some of tours available on the south side of the island this tour does not put 200 people on a boat. The small boat held about 20 people and was the perfect size. I braved the nets and got splashed a bit by a few passing waves but it was loads of fun! February is peak whale season. We saw so many whales waving their fins and tails at us I lost count. We even got to see a a few break the water as they swam, and 1 even did a spiral flip for us. It was truly an amazing experience. The crew helped point out the whales in the distance, so we wouldn’t miss any. They were friendly and professional. I highly recommend the drive up to the North Shore! It was definitely worth it!

We went out at 0930 for a whale watching tour. Crew/staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We saw a bunch of whales, got to listen to them and swim in the deep ocean. We also saw some dolphins toward the end and spent a little extra time trying to get a better look. Photographer captured some great pics of whales and our group and sold them for a reasonable cost. Would choose this company again.

My daughter and I were on the whale watching tour. It was my daughter’s 3rd With this company. We have both been on tours and what I liked about this one. The captain and crew member were very nice. We did get to see a whale breaching and blowing, turtles and a shark. The crew also let us listen to the whales and it was so clear and amazing. Also when we were going into port the crew had a guest blow 3x into a HUGE Conch shell to let everyone now we were coming in. Lots of Fun!

This is a must do! It was great to be out at sea to view the island from a different perspective. Of course the sea life and the sun set was equally as great! Good job to the crew. They are very informative and friendly.

The sound of the ocean will thrill.

“Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

An unforgettable experience. 

The Via Mia is a fully restored antique yacht located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The worldly 61-foot wooden yacht was constructed in 1929 in Stockton, California. Built for luxury, she traveled the world before crossing the ocean to Hawai‘i where she currently resides in beautiful Waikiki.

If her teak could speak, Vida Mia would not only tell stories about movie stars and politicians who enjoyed her lap of luxury basking in the sunsets off Waikiki, but of the countless grand times of families and friends who created lifetime memories aboard this gorgeous, iconic vessel.

The Vida Mia has been on the silver screen starring in movies dating all the way back to the 50's.

Nearly everyone you meet on the island has a story of an event or adventure on the Vida Mia. 

She had made Hawaii home for over 60 years.

The Vida Mia is an exclusive experience that our guests remember for years.  

Nothing pleases us more than sharing the Vida Mia with new friends.

Over the years, we have built a community of visitors, travelers, and local residents.

The Vida Mia works exclusively with local artists, vendors, and craftsmen. From musicians to our local coffee farmers and fisherman, we strive to build a community around the boat.  All of the food served on the boat is sourced locally.  

The Vida Mia served her country during World War II. She arrived in Hawai‘i after serving as an unofficial escort of the famed Transpacific sailing race in 1963, although it’s said perhaps the Transpacific racing fleet was really escorting her.

​There is only one Vida Mia.​

Our experienced maritime staff has traveled the world restoring and preserving old sailing vessels and has extensive experience with classic yachts and wooden boats.

We take great pride as stewards of this historic vessel.  Our staff is hands-on and personable. We have a loyal customer base here in Hawaii. 

Vida Mia has been a beloved part of the Hawaii island harbor community for many years. 

Come experience the Vida Mia. There is no other boat like her.

When you book Vida Mia know you are supporting many other small businesses here in our community.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

We are conveniently located near all the major hotels in Honolulu. We share the harbor with the nearby Prince Waikiki , Ilikai Hotel , and the Hilton Hawaiian Village . If you are staying at the Royal Hawaiian , Outrigger Waikiki, or Sheraton Waikiki we are a short 10-15 minute walk along the beach. Many of our hotel guests take a morning stroll over to the harbor or rent a Biki bike at one of their kiosks. There is a nice bike path along the beach; you can catch it right at the end of Lewers Street or take the scenic route and cut through the path at the Hale Koa Hotel .

For guests staying on other parts of the island, we offer transportation recommendations.

There is ample parking near the vessel. Parking in the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor is convenient and affordable.

We recommend shared rides or taxi service for cruises that depart on Friday evenings.

Definitely recommend this activity! I went with my mom, she does not know how to swim or is comfortable with the ocean, but somehow she managed to experience the sandbar and actually got in the water. This was a huge d ... more eal for her and it helped tide was low so she felt more comfortable. Crew was amazing and engaged with all of us on tour! They helped those in need and made us all feel welcomed. We would definitely book this tour again and bring our family with us next time! Thank you guys! My mom wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had and how you guys made her feel safe despite her fear of water.

Fantastic day with Fantastic people

This day will definitely remain in the memory of my children and me for the rest of my life. The trip was wonderful thanks to the activities that were prepared by the ship's crew and of course the unusually beautiful nat ... more ure around. Huge praise also goes to the crew, who were willing to answer all our questions and very helpful with the activities. Personally, I would like to thank Tyson, who was extremely helpful. If anyone is hesitating whether to try this trip on their vacation, I strongly recommend that don't hesitate for a second, because I guarantee that you won't regret it. Once again, a huge thank you and I wish the whole crew all the best. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Mommy daughter trip was the best. This trip is perfect for kids. Plenty of excitement and they move at their own pace. She loved swimming at the Sandbar and watching the sea turtles. We took photos and slashed around. Th ... more e best was the snorkeling. It was easy for her to learn with practice at the Sandbar. The hot chocolate and Funyuns chips were delicious. Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

Great experience!
