  Amazing experience! Highly recommended

  Charmaine private charter on July 2, 2026 • 5 adults

  We came to Hawaii to celebrate both of my nephews graduating, and this private charter was my gift to them. We were originally booked with another company, but they cancelled just hours before our trip due to mechanical issues , leaving me scrambling to find another option. Tradewinds Charters and their incredible crew truly saved the day. Not only were they able to accommodate us at the last minute, but we ended up on a beautiful catamaran sailboat that was even better than our original booking, and at a very comparable price. We booked a 3-hour private charter, and the captain and crew customized the entire experience to exactly what we wanted. We started with snorkeling, where we saw so many sea turtles! Having a private snorkeling experience was so much more enjoyable than being in a large tour group, and we never felt rushed. After snorkeling, we sailed along the coastline and took in the breathtaking views of Oahu from the water. It was the perfect way to experience the island from a completely different perspective. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thank you, Tradewinds Charters, for turning what could have been a huge disappointment into one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable private charter experience!

  Mahalo so much, Charmaine! We're so glad we could help turn a stressful last minute cancellation into such a memorable day for you and your family. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the private experience, from snorkeling with turtles to sailing along Oʻahu's beautiful coastline. We'll be sure to share your kind words with our captain and crew, they'll truly appreciate it! If you have a moment, we'd also be incredibly grateful if you could share this review on our Google page as well. Mahalo again, and we hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Hawaii!

  Very knowledgeable crew!

  The crew was a big help in walking us through the process for spreading my wife’s ashes as she wished. It made a difficult time more bearable for us. Highly recommend!
