10 Passenger Max Customizable Private Charter
Overview
• Vessel Designed for Exploration: HAWAII MARINE LIFE CHARTERS uses a 31’ Ocean Craft
RHIB—the same "super-raft" used by military and law enforcement. This design offers
extreme stability, maneuverability, and a faster, smoother ride to Kona’s most remote
coastal gems.
• Size Matters: With a 10-passenger max, our private charters are more economical than
the 18 or 27-pack boats offered by competitors.
• All-Inclusive VIP Amenities. Other operators will nickel and dime their guests, but at
HMLC all of the extras are included in your tour price.
• Personal Concierge Experience: As a private charter, your crew focuses solely on you,
adjusting the itinerary to spend extra time with dolphins or find a secluded, crowd-free
cove.
• Local Expertise: A family-owned business, Captain Brian and his crew leverage 30+ years
of local knowledge to share Hawaiian history and "hidden gems" other tour operators
may miss.
Experience a private ocean expedition where your vision sets the course.
