Sail Maui with the best!

My fiancé and I went on a sunset sail with this company last night. I woke up this morning and couldn’t wait to write a review! It was an amazing experience. They are a top-notch company and had everything dialed in for us perfectly. I cannot recommend them enough!

Wonderful 2 hours in the company of Captain Keahi and Ali on the beautiful Gungho. Our family of four wanted to enjoy having a vessel to ourselves and this was the perfect choice. The ocean and skyline was stunning and we had the best Maui sunset we had seen.

This sailing experience was so much fun. Marty and Kass were fantastic and felt instantly like friends. They had a wealth of information about Hawaii, sailing, and marine life. They took us to a great snorkel spot. We were also treated to some whales, a rainbow, and a gorgeous sunset.

We had an amazing time during our sunset sail! It was such a gorgeous evening! Breathtaking scenery! Marty and Cass were awesome! Cass took the best pics for us! We even got to see a whale! It was one of the best parts of our week in Maui!

CELEBRATING

Our Story is a tribute to the dreamers and visionaries: Though our family’s legacy began in the 1920’s, it wasn’t until 1969 that a fateful shipwreck in SE Alaska changed the course of our future. After the disaster, Captain Eldon Coon and his wife, Jeannette, sold everything they had and used the proceeds, with help from their children, Jim, Rand, and Pattie, to build a 50′ sailing…

Pride of Maui

Our Captains and crew have years of experience running boat charters on Maui. We understand the importance of your special day and strive to exceed your expectations. We invite you to join us aboard Leilani, our 50ft Uniflite Motor Yacht, where you are part of our Ohana (family). We’ve specialized in private boat charters in Maui for over 30 years, and feature two vessels from which to choose. Leilani is Coast Guard certified for 49 passengers plus crew.

Wedding rehearsals are our specialty. Leilani is the perfect yacht for an intimate and affordable wedding reception or rehearsal dinner.

Our senior Private Event Planner is uniquely gifted at creating extraordinary events tailored to your interests. The options on a private charter are almost endless.

Can we book a charter for today?

Unfortunately, we need at least a couple of days to put together a crew, as well as providing the meals and drinks that come with the Private Charter.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Due to the Hawaii State Liquor Law we don’t allow any of our guests to bring their own alcohol on board. However, we’re more than happy to provide that for you and add that to your Private Charter.

Why does it say $1600 on your website?

Our Private Charters start at $1600 but goes up in price depending on the size of your party, how many hours you would like to charter the boat, and if you decide to add any of our upgrades.

Can we go to a different snorkel location?

Yes, as long as the weather permits we’d be happy to take you folks out to a different snorkel location.

Good to know

Faqs - booking maui flights, which airport in san francisco do i choose to travel to maui.

There are three airports in the Bay Area where you can board a nonstop flight to Maui. If you’re flying on Alaska Airlines, you’ll be flying out of the Oakland airport. But, if you’re traveling on Hawaiian Airlines, you can choose between San Francisco International Airport or San Jose International Airport. If you prefer a quiet airport and don’t mind which airline you fly on, the least busy one is Oakland International Airport.

How long is the flight to Maui from the US mainland?

If you’re flying nonstop to Maui from San Francisco, the average flight duration is 5h 30m. If you have a layover in Honolulu, account for an extra 30 min for the flight from there to Maui. For passengers traveling from other destinations in the continental US, it depends on how many layovers you choose and where you're flying from. For example, a flight to Maui from New York with one layoverin San Francisco could take about 10h.

Should I fly nonstop to Maui from New York?

If you have limited days to travel and want to reach Maui as fast as possible, then choose a flight to Maui from New York with a short layover in San Francisco. Alternatively, you can break your trip in two and have a longer layover at San Francisco International Airport. The airport has nap rooms (about $40 for 1h) if you need to rest before the next leg of your flight.

I’m staying in Lahaina. Which airport in Maui should I fly into?

Kapalua Airport is closest to Lahaina (10 min). However, when it comes to airlines and commercial flight options, you're limited to Hawaiian Airlines, which operates inter-island flights from Honolulu. Kahului is more convenient, because you’ll have more flight options and airlines to choose from. The airport is about 40 min from Lahaina by car, and most hotels offer shuttle service to and from the airport.

How long is the flight to Maui?

An average nonstop flight from the United States to Maui takes 9h 34m, covering a distance of 3513 miles. The most popular route is Los Angeles - Kahului with an average flight time of 5h 35m.

What is the cheapest flight to Maui?

The cheapest ticket to Maui from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $52. The most popular route is from Los Angeles to Kahului and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $197.

Which airlines fly to Maui?

Hawaiian Airlines, Japan Airlines & Southwest fly the most frequently from the United States to Maui.

What are the most popular destinations in Maui?

The next most popular destinations are Kapalua (4%) and Hana (2%).

How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Maui

• Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Maui flight deals.
• Although the island has three airports—the airport de Kahului (OGG), the airport de Kapalua (JHM), and the airport de Hana (HNM)—commercial flights to Maui from other destinations on the US mainland will land at the Kahului airport.
• Most flights to Maui from the United States require at least one layover at Honolulu International Airport (HNL) or in a city on the West Coast, particularly if you’re traveling from the East Coast.
• Passengers who want to island hop or prefer to land at the Kapalua airport (JHM) instead of the Kahului airport should select a flight to Maui with a layover in Honolulu.
• If you’re traveling from a city on the West Coast and have your mind set on nonstop flights to Maui, Alaska Airlines flies to Kahului directly from Oakland International Airport (OAK), Hawaiian Airlines from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and San Jose International Airport (SJC), and American Airlines from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
• If you’re traveling with small children and renting a car in Maui, keep in mind that car seats are mandatory for children under four years old. If you don’t want to pay the extra fee for renting a car seat at your destination, then you should pack your own. Some airlines will even let you install the car seat on the plane seat, so make sure you confirm with them first before booking your flight to Maui.

Top 5 airlines flying to Maui

Outside Sky cap would be helpful! No entertainment (TV screens)

Great no problems. Very friendly. An hour ahead of schedule

flight was canceled and we were re routed all day. had a nice weekend planed in San Diego. Plans changed and we lost a day and spent the day flying.

we were late due to plane's late arrival at the gate and then there was a glitch with a button or something that had to be fixed and we waited for a tech to do that . The flight was very bumpy and totally not anything to do with the plane or crew. Just saying what was a bit miserable and kind of worrisome give then recent circumstances with the planes. Nothing fell off or onto anything during the flight of take off and landing so I count myself lucky to have gotten to my destination there and back safely. Thank you for asking

The reduced size overhead compartments were a surprise. They keep getting smaller and smaller while amenities keep getting fewer.

My flight was on schedule, ground crew looks overworked, flight crew was great but refreshments could be better. The plane was clean and fairly new. Seats were comfortable but leg room was tight.

My flight was delayed in Fairbanks by 45 minutes with no explanation. My next flight was delayed 3 hours in Anchorage then cancelled altogether. Alaska Airlines App was not helpful as it auto-booked me to reach home 2 days later than planed. And I had to fly back to Fairbanks if I wanted to continue with that change. The only real assistance I received was from the Alaska Airlines gate counter supervisor. She was able to get me home one day earlier. This was my 1st experience with Alaska Airlines and it will be my last.

I'm a tall guy. Fortunately I was able to find seating in the emergency rows that gave me a couple more inches of room. My return flight a few days later, I wasn't as fortunate. Very painfully and uncomfortable return flight.

I think the pilots deserve most of the credit, the flight was smooth and they got us to Denver in a major winter storm when many of the airlines cancelled on other people . Alaska has my loyalty- must have better more capable pilots. Was on 720 - Seattle- Denver. The crew was alright, one of the stewards was obnoxious about applying for a credit cards she went on and on about how much she used hers- it was over the top and a turn off.

Always reliable customer service. Especially, the extra care on a long flight back to the Mainlaind.

Had to run to make it only to have the flight delayed to wait for all the late connectors Second drink service skipped up

Boarding was a sh!t show. JFK BOARDING was awful. The agent called three sections at a time Clogging the area then yelling at people to not block the walk way. How are you going to call delta one , premium select and comfort plus at once and the yell at highest paying passengers. Need to do a lot better and the flight attendants in the galley need to understand that their voices travel. They were talking about others and everyone in the cabin heard them

Uncomfortable seats on 14 hour flight. Mediocre food. On time and great crew.

MSP to Atlanta was much better than Atlanta to St. Kitts. Paid $180 each for myself and wife for Delta comfort from Atlanta to St. Kitts. Seats were more narrow and obviously old and worn out. Tailbone is killing me. Seat would not recline. Seats behind reclined and we were not an exit row or in front of an exit row. Entertainment did not work in that the movie jumped forward and back and there was no audio. The plug in the arm rest was loose. Flight attendant tried “resetting” the video for my seat but no good. She never checked back. Someone else near me had the same issue. Touch screen was unresponsive. No where near as comfortable as MSP to Atlanta flight. 3 plus hrs. flight time without the basic amenities and not even remotely close to comfortable but paid for Comfort plus. I will be very disappointed if I have the same on my return “Comfort Plus” flight St. Kitts to Atlanta. At the very least my wife and I should be refunded for round trip “Comfort Plus” charges. Please feel free to contact me directly for more details.

public website still broken for years randomly blocking browsers with privacy options active after loading a page maybe once. check-in on laptop was almost impossible but eventually randomly worked. had to print pass at airport since couldn't get back in to load digital pass on mobile firefox or chrome. red eye flight so smooth onboarding, plenty of room to spread out, easy offboarding. onboard wifi instructions mention vpn can cause problems connecting but fails to also mention private dns. no printed or built in menu list, seems weird to require personal device to point at qr code link for menu which does not even allow direct ordering. people with health condition risk related dietary restrictions trying to avoid for example cholesterol and sugar are left guessing what they can order either way without nutritional info highlights (cranberry juice was minute maid cocktail with as much suger as typical can of soda). tap to pay wasn't working and always seems sketchy to manually enter card info. good movie variety, so limited tv was okay.

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

The main person that was coordinating everything was a short white/light skin Spanish man and he was very rude. It honestly made me feel like it was everyone’s First day at work. His announcements were very not reasonable and they did not make sense. The stewardess on the flight that made the announcements she didn’t even know what she was talking about she sounded inebriated. There were no snacks or drinks on our flight there wasn’t even much turbulence. This flight was not enjoyable nor was it what a Delta flight should be and just this past week I flew with Delta 3 times.

The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!

The helpful attitude of the staff, and being a wheelchair passenger everyone was helpful and understanding. The trip was made comfortable by the upgraded seat which was given without my request, that was a great surprise. Thank you Delta.

Mario was great. Made a night flight on a small aircraft pleasant and memorable.

It was wonderful. I have never flown Hawaiian Airlines, but I would definitely do it again. They were wonderful.

Check in process is a joke. When are they going to join the rest of the world and let you check in on your phone.

Workers need better attitudes. The check-in staff in Maui was very rude.

Zero leg room. No entertainment screen. USB ports which are way outdated. The plane landed and stopped in the domestic terminal and we had to go to the international terminal to find our luggage.

I finished with my medical appointment early on Oahu and the Hawaiian airlines staff helped me get an earlier flight back to the big island. It was a great experience. There was no food or entertainment that is why I gave it a good

Unable to check in on line both directions. After standing in line to check in at the Honolulu airport we were told that we needed an ag inspection first so ended up having to stand in line twice. Fortunately we always arrive early. Process could be more clearly marked

They transferred us last minute to United where we had a 4 hour wait on the tarmac to fix a generator and then they ran out of food on the flght.

Our first experienced in Hawaiian Airlines was just okay. I traveled with my 2 year old and 5 year old and both kids are first time in Kona. We had delayed in San Francisco for 3 hours which is okay safety first. Originally our flight from sfo to maui to Kona since we had delayed the airlines re-route us from sfo to maui to Honolulu to Kona. I don’t know what to do I felt bad with my two kids they have been in 4 Airports and 4 airplanes going to Kona. I cried after we checked in at the courtyard Kona. It was a lot for my 2 year old and 5 year. Like I said I know it is safety first but the Airlines could have done better for people that traveling with kids. If you are in my shoes all what will you do? Anyhow, I tried to make my two kids as happy as possible while we are in Kona. I am not certain to fly Hawaiian Airlines again. I hope my experienced helps to improve whatever it needs to improve With all due respect, Christina Lorenzo

Nice short flight. Lots of turbulence coming in to Maui

Nice. The chairs were a little uncomfortable. And the sound from the earbuds I purchased on the airplane didn’t work very well. Other than that it was a great flight… oh and the snack could have been better… a bag of peanuts would have been better.

For a 22 minute flight all you expect is for it to be safe and comfortable

Good movies, iffy pay WiFi, food ok- on time though and that was great!

Some of these FA’s need attitude check. Snarky bitches

Flight was on time. Staff were friendly. I paid for Economy Plus but was required to check my standard carry-on luggage due to lack of space on the aircraft. This cost me 30 minutes, unexpectedly, in waiting at the baggage claim. This experience did not meet my expectations.

737 Max was leaking water into the cabin through the windows. Overhead bins opened on landing. Bad bad plane.

I was not able to buy food in the flight. They refer to include your Credit card in the APP, and if you are not from USA (i have a credit card form Canada) it is not possible

The plane boarded and deplaned twice before the crew timed out. Flight was 7 hours late departing. Horrible experience!

Over two hours wait to get wheelchair assistance from arrival to the departure gate for LA was unreasonable even though there appreared to be heavy demand.

Everything was very good. Boarding and takeoff were on time and organized. Had a good flight

Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time

While I received notice that AA 478 was delayed, the flight departed PHX and arrived PHL more than two hours late. The first class cabin service was mediocre; there were no pre-departure beverages offered; there were no warm mixed nuts served with cocktails; there was no personal greeting to me as an Executive Platinum member by the first class flight attendant. While the flight operated safely, its arrival at 0219 in the morning in PHL ended a very long day. I do not feel that American provided first class service.

Don't often sit in 1st class. Our experience was great.

No meal on a cross country flight? SFO-MiA is pretty much the definition of a coast to coast flight. No meal provided. Sky high wi-fi rates too. Stop nickel and diming your customers.

The 2 hour delay was frustrating but our crew did a great job getting us out quickly and keeping communication especially with the people who had connecting flights

Got a much appreciated surprise upgrade to an exit row and the crew was very friendly and helpful.

The only problem experienced was a ground stop in Chicago due to weather. But the crew handled everything professionally. They prioritized rebooking those passengers who had connecting flights and then deplaning the other passengers. When the hold was lifted, they efficiently re-boarded all the passengers so that we could depart before our departure limit expired.

The staff was unprofessional and didn’t communicate very well. The boarding process was very disheveled, potentially due to a power outage the previous day but there was no contingency plan to properly get passengers boarded the following day. Once boarded the aircraft stayed on the tarmac for over 45 minutes due to high winds. The communication was sporadic but an announcement was finally made an additional 30 minutes later that the flight was cancelled but we couldn’t get off the plane. Prior to deplaning one of the gate agents came on the plane and made an announcement for everyone to pickup their checked bags and take a card to rebook a new reservation because they didn’t have adequate staff. Flights were missed, passengers went to different airports and there was little to no assistance from AA.

Absolutely filthy flight and not equipped for a trans US

Everything was on time; the flight attendants and the gate personnel were very pleasant and helpful.

I had trouble finding a boarding pass because I had an hour between Flights and American did not see my flight I believe because I was ticketed through KAYAK. I did not have enough time to go to the desk before boarding so I went to the desk and told them while I was boarding and they had a boarding pass for me within three minutes. Nice. I paid extra to have more legroom and it is definitely worth it for a six hour flight. I would’ve paid for a decent dinner, but they didn’t offer anything but a snack box —not good for six hours.

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.
