Must do - Such a fabulous experience. We were a group of 10 ranging in age from 14 to 84 and we all had a fabulous time. Captian and crew were knowledgeable and informative and made sure everyone was safe and cared for. Food and drink was good and plentiful and I'd recommend this to everyone.

Fantastic snorkeling package. Friendly staff, beautiful boat, exciting excursion. Highly recommend sailing with Sea Maui - Sea Maui met and exceeded our expectations for a morning snorkel trip on West Maui. The whole experience was amazing. The provided breakfast, lunch was not only delicious but provided plenty of food for the days activities. The open bar provided some of the best drinks I had on our trip to Maui. The captain of the boat not only knows her way around the bridge, she is also a fantastic bartender. On the return trip to Kaanapali Beach I was delighted when the captain decided to shut off the engine and raise the sails. I did not realize sailing under wind power was on my bucket list until we were doing it. What a fantastic experience!!!!

The best snorkel trip EVER! - This is the best snorkel trip I’ve been on!! The crew and photographer were keen on all the needs of their customers. Breakfast was really good as well as lunch. The two snorkeling places we saw so many turtles, rays, eels, and so much ocean life. Captain Phil and his team were just fantastic. Thank you.
