What an awesome experience! We went out on the 43′ Beneteau with Iwa and Keao yesterday in Maui for 5 hours. We were celebrating my husband and my 5 year wedding anniversary and we invited my cousin and her husband along to join us. We took off from Lahaina Harbor around 1 pm and had the most amazing day on the boat. Iwa and Keao found the most perfect snorkeling spot where we spotted some beautiful turtles. I opted to float around in the ocean instead of snorkeling and they had plenty of gear to accommodate whatever we wanted to do. Both Iwa and Keao were amazing — they refilled our beverages and brought us snacks as we relaxed and watched the sunset. This is most definitely a tradition we will have to repeat every year when we are out here!

Not enough words to describe the great time that we had on our sail with Iwa & Keao. Took my family of five, and had an outstanding experience. From the first contact to setup our reservation to the beach drop off at the conclusion of the sail, I could not have been happier or asked for more. I was looking for a quiet, private sunset sail to enjoy with my family and to make memories and we did just that. My kids had a blast — including my 5-​yr old, who despite being petrified at first on the way to the boat, became quite adventurous by the end of our sail. A lot of that can be attributed to Iwa, who went out of her way to really make my kids comfortable and enjoy their trip. As for Keao, we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. My 10-​yr old spent nearly all his time learning to sail with Keao and absolutely loved it. As for the rest of us, we soaked it up — being on a private sail boat, not a 40 – 60 person catamaran, and had a great time. I expected, and got, a private sail, but the crew and personal experience far exceeded my expectation. I would highly recommend Kainani Sails and Keao & Iwa to anyone looking for a truly remarkable and memorable sailing experience!

Exceeded my expectations! For sure I will do this again. I shopped around and finally took my chance with Kainani Sail and was not disappointed. Keao & Iwa were great hosts and took good care of us. Well worth the money and will highly recommend this trip to any who wants a fun day on the water without the crowds of people!

Went sailing with my wife, 6 month old baby and 3 year old. At first we were a little unsure about the safety of the kids but after leaving the harbor we quickly felt very comfortable. The kids had a great time! We saw several whales, dolphins, and turtles. The boat was well maintained and the tour was very professional and accommodating. We had an amazing time and the food was incredible! Thank you Kainani Sails for the memorable trip!

We had a fantastic trip!!! Iwa (pronounced Eva) helped us arrange a charter that fit our schedule. The Captain, Keao (pronounced K-​ow!) was great! He found us the best snorkeling in the islands (even after a storm). We saw tons of whales and sailed with a pod of dolphins. Everyone caught fish and we snorkeled with sea turtles. Keao was also great with kids, playing cards with them around the clock. I’ve chartered in Hawaii before and this is the best outfit there is. They said that it was like having family on board (the good kind) and the feeling was mutual. I cannot say enough good things about Iwa and Keao. You will not be disappointed if you charter with Kainani Sails.

So much fun! This was a great way to supplement a vacation on Maui.
We went for a half day excursion with Kainani Sails and it was one of the best things we chose to do on Maui. Everything you could want: sailing, snorkeling, whale-​watching, and getting out into the ocean. We saw turtles, heard the whales from our snorkeling location, and made some unforgettable memories.
The crew is awesome, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They were perceptive of the things we wanted and we had a blast with them.
We highly recommend booking this sailboat!

Best sailboat trip I have ever been on! These guys really know how to sail and take care of their guests with nothing but professionalism and aloha. The only private sailboat in the westside, if your vacationing in Maui you must sail away with Kainani Sails!

Went sailing with my husband as part of our honeymoon in Hawaii, and had the most amazing time! Just when we were getting disillusioned by strip malls and blended drinks in plastic coconuts, the incredible Captain Keao showed us ancient ruins, took us swimming with turtles, and caught us fresh fish, which he made into sashimi for us! Oh yeah, and he cut down real coconuts for us. If you really want to experience Hawaii, grab some Dramamine and step away from the cookie-​cutter resort for a few days to sail on the Kainani («beautiful ocean»). You will not be disappointed.
