Captain Justin was enjoyable & accommodating! The crew was amazing & very attentive! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience. I really appreciated the crew for their attention to detail and outstanding service! It was worth the additional amount for the nicer amenities of the boat and having fewer passengers. They are a very experienced crew and it made for an enjoyable experience.
First rate excursion. Captain and crew were amazing. Highly recommend. Great food and bar area. Comfortable boat.
Glad you had an amazing experience aboard our luxury power catamaran, Elua. As a family business its lovely to read that you consider us "first rate". My son, Captain Justin and his team love what they do, and sharing their Aloha and the beauty of Maui, with our guests!
Our captain was funny, and his staff was super attentive to the guests’ needs. We were snorkeling for the first time, and the team was extra helpful in making us comfortable. The breakfast (muffins, pound cake and fruit) and lunch (burgers) were terrific.
After 40 years in the business we still love what we do, and appreciate that it is our guests who make it possible! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your wonderful experience.
Amazing boat, and crew. Felt like family the second I stepped aboard. We will definitely book with them again.
We are a family business with 40 years in the islands. It is nice to read that you felt like family the second you boarded our yacht, because that is exactly what we strive to accomplish. Mahalo for joining us, and we look forward to your return!
The ride was so smoothe, the captain & staff were best hostess. The food were delicious. The bathroom was so clean!
Indeed, right down to our full size immaculate bathrooms, we left nothing out, when we designed our new luxury catamaran, Pride of Maui Elua. I am very proud of all our crew and appreciate your kind words. Its always a nice bonus to hear that you loved the food as well...
Wow, Captain Justin, Savannah and the rest of the crew were amazing. The ship was awesome, the attention to detail was on point. These folks went out of their way to make sure everyone got what they wanted out of the trip! If you see looking for a smaller more private high end version of Molokini then this is it! Highly recommended and would book through them again in a heartbeat!
Captain Justin, Savannah, and all of the crew aboard both our boats, are second to none. They love what they do, and are passionate to share their wealth of knowledge. We are super excited that our new luxury tour is so well received by discerning guests like you, who quickly recognize the difference it makes, to be aboard Maui's only luxury power catamaran, with a small group of other's seeking a much more private "high end" snorkeling experience. We look forward to your next visit.
Super nice boat and experienced staff. They had all the tricks for successful snorkeling no matter what your experience is. Would highly recommend.
Pride of Maui Elua, is Maui's only luxury power catamaran, featuring exclusive amenities such as an air conditioned main cabin, and luxurious furnishings and fixtures throughout. We operate with smaller groups than the other catamarans, for a more personalized and exceptional experience. My son, Captain Justin and his team appreciate that it is our guests who make it possible for us to do what we love so much! Thank you for joining us.
Over the years, my husband and I have done dozens of snorkeling trips. This was hands down - the best trip ever! Captain K - Sienna - Diego - and crew were fun - knowledgable - and attentive. We were traveling with our 11 and 13 year old grandchildren. They too had a blast. They felt safe - seen and haven't stopped talking about the trip yet. When anyone has asked them what the highlight of the trip to Hawaii was - the first answer is the Pride of Maui snorkeling trip. On top of seeing beautiful fish, corals and scenery, the food was also amazing. I recommend trying the grilled fish and slaw. Shout out again to a great crew. You will not be disappointed in this trip!
We love families who share your experience with details. We also love to hear from people like you who've been on dozens of snorkeling excursions, and compare us to them. We especially love to read that we are hands down, the best of the best. Captain Kadyn and his First Mate Sienna are a fabulous team. Diego, and all of our team love what they do, and that makes all the difference. Its especially rewarding to know that your family cant stop talking about the favorite thing you experienced on your Maui vacation. We set out to create something uniquely up-scale, and personalized, when we built our new and Maui's only luxury power catamaran, Elua. Our goal is to provide such an exceptional experience, that guests like you who've traveled and snorkeled dozens of times, depart, knowing that you've shared as a family, an exceptional experience, which separates us from all other's. The boat, food, comfort, luxurious furnishings, comfy sofas, premium bar service after snorkeling, the exceptional locations we visit, are all part of the formula that drives our family business, though it is the Captains and crew who are at the center of your overall experience. Thank you for sharing!
This was a wonderful experience that was everything that was advertised. The Eula is a beautiful boat (only about 2 years old). Plenty of room to relax on board in the cabin or on deck. The Captain and crew - Diego, Alaina and Cierra were all experienced knowledgeable and capable. The food (both breakfast and lunch was delicious and plentiful with an assortment of beverages. Alcoholic beverages were offered after all snorkeling was completed. Diego was in the water with snorkelers at all times for safety. Molokini is a truly unique site and experience. The turtle area had plenty of coral and fish. All in all a trip I would highly recommend.
I am glad you had such a great time with us aboard our luxury power catamaran, Elua, and that every detail, from the yacht, to your comfort, breakfast and lunch and of course, the snorkeling, was exceptional. Your safety is our number one priority, which is one of the primary reasons we post lifeguards in the water. Of course premium cocktails after snorkeling is a big plus too. Thank you for highly recommending us!
