Private Yacht Charters for Magical Moments

We craft intimate, luxury yacht experiences in Waikīkī, from sunset cruises and surprise proposals to overnight escapes, designed to help you slow down, connect, and create unforgettable memories on the ocean with loved ones.

Overnight Private Yacht Charter on Oʻahu

Escape the crowds and experience the magic of Hawaiʻi on a luxury overnight yacht charter from Honolulu. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, proposal, or simply craving a break from city life, this exclusive ocean experience is designed for total relaxation, romance, and reconnection.

Depart from Honolulu’s Ala Wai Boat Harbor and set sail along Oʻahu’s west coast. Anchor at scenic locations like Electric Beach, Ko Olina, and Makua, where you can swim with turtles and dolphins and soak in the sun. At sunset, enjoy a private dinner onboard or dine at one of Ko Olina’s top restaurants, like Monkeypod.

As night falls, stargaze from the deck and sleep under the stars in your private cabin with a queen bed. Wake to a peaceful ocean sunrise and a gourmet breakfast on the water, followed by a final swim before cruising back to Honolulu.

Surprise Proposal on a Private Yacht

Make your proposal unforgettable with a private sunset yacht cruise in Honolulu — designed for romance, intimacy, and a moment they'll remember forever.

Set sail from Ala Wai Boat Harbor aboard a luxury yacht guided by experienced local captains. Glide across the shimmering waters of Oʻahu’s south shore as the golden sun dips below the horizon. As you enjoy champagne, curated music, and breathtaking island views, the perfect moment arrives.

Whether you choose to pop the question on the bow at sunset, during a dolphin sighting, or under the stars — we’ll help you plan every detail to keep it seamless and stress-free.

After the proposal, continue the celebration with a private chef dinner onboard, or dock at Ko Olina for a romantic meal at one of Hawaii’s top restaurants.

This is more than a boat ride — it’s your floating love story, set to the rhythm of the Pacific.

Private Yacht Elopement

Ditch the crowd and the stress — and say “I do” in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by nothing but turquoise water, golden skies, and your love story.

Our luxury private yacht elopement experience offers a secluded, unforgettable way to get married in Hawaii. Departing from Honolulu’s Ala Wai Boat Harbor, this intimate journey is guided by experienced local captains with over 40 years on Oʻahu’s waters.

Whether you choose to exchange vows at golden hour with dolphins in the distance, or anchor under the stars for a candlelit ceremony, every detail is tailored to reflect you. Enjoy post-ceremony champagne, a private dinner, and the option to spend the night on board, drifting off beneath the stars.

This is eloping, redefined — luxurious, intentional, and completely yours.

Exclusive Sunset Cruise

The sunsets in Hawaiʻi are breathtaking. Relax aboard a luxurious yacht with unobstructed, panoramic views of the setting sun, calming ocean, and the world-renowned Diamond Head.

Private Fireworks Show

Start the weekend with a bang! Cruise the shores of Wakīkī and watch Hilton Hawaiian Village’s Friday fireworks. Marvel at the Honolulu skyline as day turns to night and the backdrop of the Koʻolau mountains give way to the illumination of the city.
