How every charter works
From the sand, by zodiac.
Yours alone
Up to six guests, two crew, and the entire boat to yourselves. Return guests often bring their friends next time.
Boarding from the beach
Meet us on Kaʻanapali Beach, in front of Leilani’s restaurant at Whalers Village. The exact spot depends on beach conditions, and a zodiac shuttle boat takes you from the beach out to Kainani at anchor offshore. Everyone needs to be able to walk through the sand. Please arrive on time, and come earlier if you need to find parking.
Weather
Unsafe weather is the captain’s call. If we see bad weather coming we call ahead to reschedule; passing showers aren’t a reason to cancel. You can’t sail without wind, and our snorkel spots are protected.
