About Sail Hawaiian Style Private Catamaran Charters
About the Boat - Hawaiian Style
Established in 2017.
Hawaiian Style Catamaran is her name and custom built is how she was made. Hawaiian Style was custom built by Gill’s Catamaran, designed by Vince Bartolone and influenced by Rudy Choi,
multi-hull innovators. Hawaiian Style is a United States Coast Guard Inspected and Approved Vessel.
This 48-foot catamaran has a sleek low-profile design which makes it optimal for stability out on the ocean. It has 2 large lounging nets on the front of the catamaran as well as 2 small lounging nets on the back. Not only does Hawaiian Style have lots of room for lounging in the sun, but it also has plenty of seating in the shade as well. We have two coolers that we fill with ice for whatever food and beverages you choose to bring aboard. Stainless steel eco-friendly cups are also provided. We have Bluetooth surround sound which you can connect to and play your own music. All snorkeling gear is provided.
About the Private Charter
We want to be your favorite escape at Hawaiian Style Catamaran. We are all about living in the moment and taking in the beauty that the island of O‘ahu offers while always respecting our Hawai'i marine life and environment.
We have a two-hour minimum for our charters, but you can book as many hours as you would like. Sail, snorkel, swim, relax, eat, and drink in good company! Look for dolphins, turtles, and whales (season-dependent) while you enjoy a mellow cruise off the coast of Honolulu or a thrill sail at full speed. Every experience is customized to your preferences.
​
From family-friendly sailing days to bachelorette parties, birthdays, proposals, and everything in between, our private catamaran is built for every kind of group. Our stability, safety standards, and personalized approach are why so many guests consider us one of the best catamaran tours in Waikiki — whether you’re sailing with kids, friends, or your favorite crew.
