A custom charter is a fully tailored ocean excursion designed around your specific requests, interests, and schedule. Unlike our standard tour offerings, a custom charter starts with a conversation — what do you want to see, do, and experience on the water? From there, Samantha and Cliff work with you to build an itinerary that makes the most of your time in Kona. Custom charters can incorporate multiple activities across a single trip, extend beyond standard tour durations, depart at non-standard times, or focus on specific wildlife, photography opportunities, or locations that aren't part of our regular tour calendar. Whether you're a marine researcher looking to observe specific species, a filmmaker documenting Hawaii's ocean environment, a family with very specific needs, or simply a traveler who wants something beyond the standard menu — a custom charter is built for you.
