Why Choose Maui Ocean?

Maui Ocean is built for groups who want space and comfort as much as the island experience itself. The bow nets, indoor salon, and multiple seating areas give families, friends, and multi-generational groups room to spread out over a full day, instead of everyone packed onto a single deck.

Four cabins, two bathrooms, and an air-conditioned interior make it especially practical for a full 8-hour charter, with the included snorkeling masks and stand-up paddleboard giving your group more to do once you're anchored near the Rosario Islands or Barú.

Perfect For

• Families
• Groups of friends
• Multi-generational groups
• Birthday celebrations
• Bachelor and bachelorette groups
• Wedding groups
• Corporate outings
• Private island-hopping experiences
