    I’m pretty sure this was the highlight of my group’s Hawaii trip! The crew was so accommodating to make sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of, the views were absolutely breathless, and I also got engaged while on the catamaran! We saw some dolphins breaching from a distance and also up close to swim right next to us on the catamaran. I loved that we could bring onboard our own food and drinks, in addition to some non-alcoholic drinks they provided - but no need to pack water as the crew takes care of that with a water pump. I would highly recommend to take a moment away and relax on the RH Catamaran. If we visit Oahu again, we’ll be sure to be back!

    In town for a buddies wedding and went out for a 5 hour ride. They took us to some great snorkeling spots where we saw lots of sea life including a half dozen sea turtles. We had dinner on the boat and the tacos they prepared were great with fresh pico and guacamole. We had a party of roughly 20 people and we all fit comfortably on the netting and the benches. The bathroom on board was adequate and the dining area inside was comfy for those who wanted out of the sun. Crew was friendly and educated us on everything from sailing to fishing techniques. Boat was clean and the whole journey was a blast. Pricing was fair and boarding and docking was smooth with good parking down the road.

    Royal Hawaiian Catamaran should be on your to-do list for both locals and tourists alike. Shane, Jacob and Amos took great care of everyone and made sure we all had an awesome time. Snorkeling and swimming was super fun and we saw tons of turtles. Best catamaran on Oahu! Thank you!!

    Nice boat with a comfy net in front to hang out. The crew was fun. We saw turtles, whales, and dolphins on our half day tour.

    What a super fun experience! Thank you, Captain Jeovanney, Jacob, Kiara, Hanalei 🛥️ ☀️ We got to see turtles, snorkel and float. They made the kids honorary Captains 🤗 The team made all of us feel every safe, especially the kids. THANK YOU, thank you!!!

    I’ve been in a few different times and every time it’s always an absolute blast! The crew is always fun and take us to the best spots to see turtles and dolphins. We even got to hold an octopus!

    My group went during sunset and couldn’t see the sun (due to weather) but the crew and overall experience were so fun and thoughtful we still enjoyed our time on the boat. I sat on the netting in the front of the boat while the waves were getting bigger and choppier, so the whole group sitting there ended up getting soaked through! It was windy though so we dried off pretty quick and went back on the netting. We wore swimsuits under our dresses and had just taken them off before the big wave covered us. The company is owned by 3 people so go support your local businesses!

    I was blown away by the experience that Royal Hawaiian provided. The catamaran is beautiful. The service that the crew provided was spectacular. They tailored the booking to what I wanted and were so kind and helpful with everyone. They took us to a great spot to go snorkeling and see turtles. Geo, Jacob, Gary, Noah and Shane went out of their way to make my experience perfect. My booking with this company was one of my favorite and most memorable experiences from the entire trip. I had so much fun and can’t wait to book again with them someday.

    Booking the Royal Hawaiian Catamaran for a private cruise last-minute and coordinating with Rich for the reservation, followed by the excellent service from the boat crew including Captain Gio, Stevie, and my personal guide Amos, was a fantastic experience. The entire team was attentive and friendly to my family of six. Amos even pulled my niece and me around, allowing us to swim with turtles and fishes. The sail was truly unforgettable and created cherished memories that will last a lifetime. A heartfelt thank you to the Royal Hawaiian team for their professionalism and dedication.

    We just went with our family for a Thanksgiving cruise. The crew was amazing. We had a wonderful snorkeling trip, swimming, laughs, and general hospitality. We were even serenaded by Amos with a ukulele concert. Captain Shane was the best and Kiara too.

    What a fantastic experience. The captain and crew took great care of our HS basketball team. Got to see lots of turtles and dolphins as well as a unique view of Waikiki and Diamond head.

  • 5/5 Robin O. 1 year ago on Google
    I found Royal Hawaiian Catamaran during a Google search of boat tours. I decided to book a private 3 hour charter based on all the stellar 5 star reviews - and it definitely did not disappoint. Our group of 8 was fairly small relative to the capacity of the catamaran, which made for a comfortable, relaxing experience. Captain Kalani, Richie, and Gio were very friendly and professional. The boat was well maintained. The views were amazing. We anchored and did some swimming and snorkeling at Turtle Canyon. It ended with the sun setting on the horizon, which cast Honolulu in shades of pink and gold. I would definitely recommend Royal Hawaiian Catamaran. Thank you for the experience!

    From start to finish - a great experience. Booking was super easy - we were able to communicate via phone and via text - which made it very convenient as we were on the go while trying to make plans. We had an early morning cruise - 8a sail time. I was worried that it would be too early, but it turned out to be perfect. Capt Shane was phenomenal. He, Gio, and Jacob met us at the dock and loaded all of our stuff on board. They already had waters, cokes, and juices iced down and they added our beers to the list. In addition to sailing the ship, these guys cranked tunes, got beers, made drinks - they are full service! On board, they already had snorkeling equipment and we went and snorkeled and saw a bunch of sea turtles. If you want to have a blast with a fun crew that will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, book with these guys. You won’t regret it.

    We called last minute and they had an opening and WOW! These guys went way above and beyond to make the experience everything we wanted. They literally waited on us hand and foot. If I could give them 10 stars I would! The chef prepared a wonderful spread of delicious authentic Hawaiian dishes. The snorkel guide was so fun and informative. We saw some very very beautiful sea creatures and tropical fish. Our kids are still talking about the snorkeling and the food. Do yourself a favor and book now! Thank you to the crew and chef you gave us a lifetime memory and that’s priceless! ♥️

  • 5/5 Anna F. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING!!! We had the best time on the daytime snorkeling sail that we booked a sunset sail the following evening with Jeo, Jacob and Gary! Couldn’t recommend them or Royal Hawaiian more. The catamaran was in impeccable condition, we had a beautiful smooth sail both times and the crew won us over! Thankful for such a great experience, we would love to come back to Hawaii and do this for a 3rd time ❤️

    Great and friendly crew. Has a big speaker to enjoy music. My friends and i had a great time on the boat. Best private boat! Loved the big hammock net!

  • 5/5 Chelsey D. 2 years ago on Google
    This was one of the best things we did on our trip to Oahu. The staff was absolutely amazing and fun! We will definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 John bernard V. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried the weekend sail and snorkel tour. Staff were very friendly, and very accommodating to all our needs. They also provided drinks (non-alcoholic), water, and ice. You can bring your own food on board. Their guides were amazing especially assisting small children in snorkeling. We saw dolphins, tons of fishes, and turtles! It was an amazing experience! We will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Christa R. 2 years ago on Google
    A fabulous experience. The crew made it even more amazing with how dedicated they are to ensuring everyone is having a great time. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful trip. We saw whales and snorkeled with turtles!

  • 5/5 Athena’s C. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great time with the crew (Capt. Kalani, Grace, and Geo). They are so amazing and friendly. I love the music and dance on board. They made our day the best day while we’re in Hawaii. They go beyond our expectations! Kudos to the crew!

  • 5/5 Stella H. 3 years ago on Google
    YES YES AND YES!! Phenomenal crew, very professional and ready to guide the way to a solid time! Captain Kalani and the crew made sure that everyone was taken care of while we were on board. I felt very safe the entire time. Saw some turtles, dolphins and even a whale! I had such an amazing time, I went twice in 1 week! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Emily K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best boat ride ever!!! Best crew and best views. Snorkeling was a blast, felt very safe, and professional. The turtles and fishes were beautiful. The entire experience was 10/10. They even let us play our own music! Mahalo :)

  • 5/5 Christian S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! The boat, the crew, the food, the entire experience was amazing!!!! If you want a top tier Hawaii crew to show you the best spots in the most enjoyable professional way these are your guys. Thank you

    Captain Shane and his crew (Jacob and Grace) were incredibly professional and attentive. The sunset cruise we went on was an amazingly fun experience. The boat is beautiful. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Ashley H. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are ever in Hawaii this is a must! The view was beautiful and the crew was amazing, knowledgeable, and extremely patient and encouraging with us over protective moms & grandma. Thank you for an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Laura A. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't even look anywhere else!! This is the company you want!! We had such an amazing and relaxing time. We booked a private charter and the staff made sure we had a memorable trip with so much love and knowledge of what they do. I KNOW this is memory I will cherish forever. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the boat and in the water. My 6 yr old who isn't a strong swimmer was very comfortable in the water and loved all the fish and sea creatures we got to see and learn about while snorkeling. Book now!! Worth every penny!!

  • 5/5 Kimberly D. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked a family outing with Captain Shane and his crew and it was the highlight of our vacation in Honolulu. Can’t say enough good things. The catamaran was beautiful, the captain and crew were professional and knowledgeable, and they took us out to the perfect spot for snorkeling. The captain stayed in regular contact with me, moving our tour around to avoid bad weather. I highly recommend Royal Hawaiian Catamaran. You won’t be disappointed.

👍👍 Fun and educational submarine tour from Waikiki. The tour starts with the boat ride from Waikiki Hilton pier to the dive site, transfer to the submarine and then diving below.
