I am finally getting around to looking through our wedding photos from November, and it reminded me just how incredible our experience was with this team! From the very first inquiry to the moment we stepped off the boat, everything was absolutely perfect. The booking process was so clear and professional. They were incredibly responsive and made the planning phase easy and stress-free. On the day of, the boat was spotless and the crew was phenomenal—they were so kind and went out of their way to make sure our ceremony and mini-reception felt special and fun. We loved that we were able to have a fully open bar and even go swimming! It was such a unique way to celebrate, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. In fact, a large handful of our guests came up to us during the day and even weeks later saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Everyone thought the boat was the coolest, most amazing idea ever and wondered why more people don't do it! I couldn’t recommend them enough for a wedding or any private event. Whether it was the Captain or the crew on deck, everyone involved was professional, warm, and attentive. I would 100% book with them again for future charters. Thank you for making our big day so unforgettable!

Incredible experience and a phenomenal crew. My parents renewed their vows after 57 years while we enjoyed a spectacular sunset overlooking Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach!

We booked the Hokulani Catamaran for the night before our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. The crew was incredibly friendly, the music and vibes were perfect, and the sunset views were unreal. Everyone on board had such a great time it felt relaxed, celebratory, and personal all at once. It was the perfect way to kick off our wedding weekend I’ll never forget sailing with our closest family and friends, champagne in hand, watching the sun dip behind Diamond Head. 🌺 Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Waikiki!

We had the BEST experience with this boat charter in Honolulu, Waikiki! We had about 25 guests, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The boat was clean, spacious, and had such a fun atmosphere. We were able to swim, snorkel, and even see some turtles up close — which was such a highlight! The crew made sure we had everything we needed and kept the vibe upbeat and enjoyable. It was such a memorable day, and we highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing time on the water in Waikiki.

What a wonderful experience. Our family requested a memorial for our parents, brother in law and family pets on the water. My parents had lived in Oahu for 40+ years and we wanted to fulfill their last wishes. Devin and Captain Ken were kind and comforting as we planned the 1.5 hour cruise to scatter our beloveds' ashes near Diamond Head (I am on the east coast, so everything was over the phone or via email). Captain Ashley and her first mate were thorough, compassionate and helped us make the morning a truly meaningful ceremony. The Hawaiian Eco-urns were beautiful, as were the flower petals. We couldn't have planned the Blue Angel flyover- but it happened and my niece got the best photo (thanks, Dad, for winking at us from the heavens). While tears were shed, so were shared stories and big hugs. Thank you, Waikiki Boat Charters, for making the day so memorable. It was a perfect send off for those we loved.
