Maui: Luxury Sailing on Maui's own Ali'i Nui

Set Sail on the Ali'i Nui


Offering you a premier sail you can find this beautiful, one of a kind, catamaran at Ma'alaea harbor, Maui. Aboard, the captain and crew members make sure each guest is settled in comfortably. To get the day started, breakfast is served consisting of tropical island fruits and juices, bacon and eggs, baked goods, coffee, and tea. While guests get seated and acquainted with one another, the captain does a briefing explaining the rules and regulations on board followed by the adventure of the day. At the captains discretion and depending on the weather, you may visit Molokini, Turtle Point, or Coral Gardens. Each site features stunning coral and sea life. During your adventure you may see Hawaiian monk seals, green see turtles feeding off the coral, and varieties of fish! Whenever possible, the catamaran is at a sail depending on wind conditions.

Ali'i Nui provides top of the line snorkel equipment as well as scuba equipment, if you are certified. The crew does provide snorkel lessons if interested. Amenities inclusive are boogie boards, water noodles, wet suit tops, floatation devices, and towels. 

Mid day of your adventure, a bountiful lunch is served. In the buffet style, Ali'i Nui serves smoked pulled pork, marinated teriyaki chicken, potato mac salad, classic caesar salad, and roasted pepper and garlic humus with pita bread. Along with this fantastic buffet, feel free to check out the open bar offering you champagne, soft drinks, and a variety of beer selections. After you complete your meal, the crew will come around and collect your dishes. They will then prepare the catamaran for the journey back. For a quick treat, a crew member will come around serving you pineapple or freshly baked White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies. To end the afternoon, a frozen facial towel is given to cool you down. 

If you are looking for a memorable adventure, Ali'i Nui won't let you down!

Snorkeling West Maui


What a beautiful Saturday! I took a friend/client on a snorkel excursion. From Kaanapali we beach loaded aboard Teralani 2 and set off on our morning snorkel cruise. It was such a crystal clear morning…the water like glass. I’ve gone snorkeling many times and been to almost every snorkel spot that excursions normally go…I’ve always enjoyed getting into the water. As usual we motored north towards Kapalua and in just a short journey we entered into a cove that I had never snorkeled before. What an amazing surprise in store for me, the “local girl”. We anchored at Namalu Bay also known by many as the “Cliff House” located just north of Kapalua Bay and less frequented by the public. The surrounding lava formed bluffs are amazing! We could not wait to enter the water and see what was lurking below. Wow, what a site, the coral was beautiful to see! The Green Sea Turtles, the Hawaiian “Honu”, was spotted immediately. There was an abundance of beautiful tropical fish of all sorts. This spot made my day!
Our second snorkel site was Honolua Bay, part of the Mokuleia Marine Life Conservation District. As always it is such a beautiful snorkel spot, filled with amazing wonder beneath the water.

Our day on the ocean with Teralani catamaran and the wonderful crew was spectacular! Thank you Teralani!

Teralani 2 and Teralani 3 are the newest and largest sailing catamarans in Kaanapali. Each boat was designed and built for the comfort and safety. Both vessels are 65’ x 35’ and can easily accommodate 125 passengers, but the maximum they ever take is 49. Teralani 2 and Teralani 3 each have two restrooms, fresh water showers, outside and inside seating with tables and a covered salon and bar. Both custom built catamarans are U.S. Coast Guard certified and maintained to the highest standards.

A great group activity!

Revisiting ‘Ulalena – A one of a kind show like no other!












‘Ulalena is a must-see show! This theatrical sensation will allow you the opportunity to experience the history of Hawai’i and more specifically, the Island of Maui.

The production really depicts the meaning of Hawaii. The captivating music, choreography, sets and performers make it a true experience. The entire cast was exceptional, as well, as the band whose tribal beats articulated the passion of the Hawaiian people.

‘Ulalena is also available for eye openers at your next business meeting or brought to your hotel’s ballroom as well! It is not just a show but an experience!
