Our Story

Oahu's premier private charter

Hawaii Ocean Charters started with a simple idea. The best ocean adventures on the island shouldn't mean leaving the heart of Waikiki. Snorkeling, sunset cruises, whale watching and private charters, all minutes from your hotel.

Our crews run from The Marina year round, led by captains who read the swell before the forecast does. Every trip is built around the day's conditions, never the other way around.

Sunset Cruise

"The sunset sail felt like a private film screening of the Pacific. Booking took under a minute, and the boarding pass email with GPS to the dock was genius."

Snorkel Adventure

"Captain read the swell and moved us to the leeward side. Glassiest snorkel water I've ever seen. Turtles everywhere. Worth every dollar."

Private Charter

"We chartered the catamaran for my parents' 40th anniversary. The crew treated us like ohana. This is the standard now."
