Sail With Aloha, Celebrate the Moment

 
 

Our Story

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran began with a simple truth: the ocean connects us. From sunrise trade winds to golden Waikīkī sunsets, our appreciation for this coastline, learning to respect the sea and share it with care, is shown with our customers. What started as a handful of friends taking family and neighbors out for pau hana sails has become a trusted charter experience for visitors and locals alike.

We’re proud to be locally owned and to host intimate, high-touch charters out of Kewalo Harbor—minutes from Waikīkī but a world away once the sails are up. Whether you’re here for a once-in-a-lifetime wedding sail, a ‘ohana day on the water, or a quick sunset reset, we aim for effortless luxury and easy smiles.


The Vessel

A stable, photo-friendly Rudy Choy,Warren Seaman, and Alfred Kumalae catamaran with plenty of shaded seating, open deck space for dancing and photos, a clean head, and easy water access stairs. We outfit quality snorkel gear, floatation, coolers, and non-slip deck footwear guidance so everyone feels comfortable.

Safety & Certifications

  • USCG-inspected vessel with required safety gear

  • Weather-aware routing; conservative wind and swell thresholds

  • Pre-sail safety talk and in-water supervision for swimmers

  • Alcohol--B.Y.O.B. keep the vibe fun and safe

Three friends joined together in 2018 to bring to you what is now Royal Hawaiian Catamara! Together, we have crafted unforgettable private and shared charters—sunset sails, swim & snorkel, weddings, memorials, and milestone gatherings—on the waters we call home.
