Sail from Maalaea Harbor to Molokini Crater, Maui's most famous snorkeling destination, aboard Akialoa, our 55-foot sailing catamaran. This all-inclusive adventure cruise includes snorkel gear and flotation, a light breakfast with local coffee, a freshly prepared buffet lunch, and an open bar with local beer, wine and cocktails.
Molokini is a crescent-shaped volcanic crater and protected marine preserve, home to more than 250 species of tropical fish. The water is calm and clear, and we provide reef-safe sunscreen. No snorkeling experience is needed, so this is a great family-friendly day for first-timers and confident swimmers alike. Children 2 and younger are complimentary.
Sail Maui combines performance sailing in the trade winds with time in the water, guided by our expert crew. From December 15 through March 31, whale watching is part of the ride, with humpback sightings possible along the way. Wildlife is wild, so we cannot promise a sighting.
After snorkeling, rinse off with our fresh water shower and settle in for lunch and drinks on the sail back. Akialoa is a midsize catamaran built in 2002, with a 28 foot beam and more than 700 square feet of working sail, designed for speed and comfort. Her name comes from the Hawaiian honeycreeper, the akialoa.
Sailing Maui's waters since 1993, with respect for the traditions and culture of Hawaii. Spaces are limited to 48 guests.
