Our Experience
Ahoy there! If you’re looking for an exciting, yet luxurious, way to explore the waters of Hawaii, then this yacht might be the one for you! This 74 foot yacht charter was so much fun. Let me tell you, I recently had the pleasure of setting sail on this beauty and it was quite the experience. From the pristine waters to the good service, I was completely impressed by everything this yacht had to offer.
So buckle up, and let me take you on a little virtual tour of our adventure.
The 74ft Yacht
First off, let me just say, this yacht is absolutely stunning. The moment I stepped on board, I was greeted with a spacious area and completely air-conditioned inside cabin. Although we only did a 4-hour day charter, I can completely see why people might want to stay overnight too!
Now, let’s talk about the real star of the show – the yacht’s exterior. The 74 foot yacht is the perfect size for exploring the Hawaiian waters and finding your own little piece of paradise. Our captain navigated the yacht with ease, while we lounged on the sunbeds and took in the stunning views. We even made a few stops along the way for some snorkeling and swimming, which were both unforgettable experiences.
Options
There are many different cruise options, and some examples include the following:
- Snorkeling adventure
- Daytime cruise
- Sunset cocktail cruise
- Whale watching (Dec – Mar)
- Romantic cruise for two
- Group outing with family, friends, and school and work groups
We chose to do a 11am-3pm with a swim!
Visibility
The water was so clear! We could not have asked for a better day. The water was so clear, the sun was perfect, and we had the best time! Snorkel rentals are included if you decide to snorkel.
Pricing
Compared to most private yacht charters, the pricing for 12-guests is reasonable. This yacht only works in 4-hour increments: 6am-10am, 11am-3pm, and 4pm-8pm. At the time of this writing (July 16, 2023), it is $1600+tax for the 4-hour charter. This averages to about $400/hour.
If you have a group of 12-guests, it ends being around $134+tax per person ($134 x 12 guests = $1600). For 4-hours on the water on a private yacht in Waikiki, $134 per person is a great deal! If you’re on 6-guests, however, the price would jump to around $270+tax per person. Pricing is for the yacht up to 12-guests, regardless of the number of guests.
The Review
In conclusion, I would highly recommend the 74 foot yacht charter to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious way to explore the beauty of Hawaii. The yacht itself is stunning, the crew is exceptional, and the service is top notch. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a family adventure, the 74 foot yacht charter is the perfect choice. So set sail with them and get ready for an unforgettable experience. Ahoy!
What to Pack
DRY BAG
The number one thing that I would highly recommend that you bring is some sort of waterproof bag. People are getting on and off the boat, they’re wet, and water is dripping from them. If you have something valuable that you don’t want to get wet, such as any camera gear or cell phones, it is an excellent idea to get a waterproof bag.
My favorite waterproof bag is a 25 liter in mint green. It’s padded, has clips to make it comfortable, and it’s completely waterproof. It’s also big enough to fit a towel, cell phone, hat, and whatever else you need. It also has a clip section to clip on your sandals, flip-flops, or slippers, so they don’t get misplaced. There’s an outside zipper for you to put more things, but this is not waterproof. On the inside of the bag, there’s an inside pocket where you can put your wallet and cell phone.
Size: 25L, Color: mint green
My personal favorite for underwater is the GoPro Hero 10:
The (optional) underwater housing I use is also by GoPro:
When I’m doing underwater shots for snorkeling, I’ll use a red filter to grab more colors. Although the GoPro 10 is waterproof, I like using the underwater housing (with or without the red filters) to keep it clear of any saltwater. If you opt to use the GoPro brand red filter, you’ll have to use the underwater housing “shell” to attach it.
