Great Trip - Great Crew ! - We lucked out booking the Aloha Cataram sail boat by simply seeing the boat from the beach near the lava lava beach club. It didn’t feel touristy at all. It felt like a private yacht charter, albeit with 30 other people, but the boat was spacious the crew was amazing and the boat was very clean. The drinks were flowing after we went snorkelling and it was all around a great experience that I would recommend to anybody and I would do again with my family. Captain Mike was super and made the difference. Tks that was refreshing that it didn’t feel like a tourist trap, well done !

Wonderful day on the water - We had a great adventure on the ocean, while we didn't see any turtles during our excursion, we did spend some time with Spinner Dolphins and they put on a show. The crew was very attentive and made sure we were all safe and accounted for while out on the water. Overall it was a great time.

Memories made - The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw pilot whales and even though 2 weeks early we were able to see a hump back whale. The food was yummy. The waves were a little rough, but we were still able to see sea urchins, crabs and sea turtles.

Exceptional Service, gorgeous location - Our captain was Cindy and first mate Rioko, both gave us a phenomenal custom experience. Cindy gave us a history lesson of some of the Kailua Kona architecture we got to see dolphins and snorkel on the reef. The boat was large we spent most of our time on the mesh net on the bow just enjoying the ride. The water was still warm 76° in November. 10/10 experience.

Wonderful snorkeling experience - Wonderful snorkeling experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Gretchen was particularly helpful and showed us a sea cucumber and sea anemone. We saw lots of pretty fish. Unfortunately no turtles or dolphins were spotted, but that is something anyone can help.
