    Maui catch
    Jarret F.

    Everything about our charter rocked: captain Jeff and first mate Marlin got us out trolling quickly after transferring our supplies to Piper's cavernous coolers. The boat is well maintained: cool air conditioning and luxurious (by boat standards) head! High quality tackle started us on the right track and our first catch occurred surprisingly early. Jeff's obsession with trophy sized marlin is a notable addition to timeless nautical tales, so this is your boat if you're searching for big fish.

    We choose the Piper for a private full day charter and it did not disappoint! To start off the boat was extremely clean and neat. We were met by a very friendly and helpful first mate Marlin (yes... that is his real name) and the Caption Jeff. Both were friendly and made us feel comfortable. As we headed out Marlin gave us the run down of equipment and pointed out some local sights. We stopped to catch live bait which was pretty cool, then continued off in search of Blue Marlin. We went 1 for 2 for the day. The Captain even made a short video of one of our catches and gave it to me. The boat ride was great, the cabin was air conditioned, the bathroom was clean. Couldn't ask for a better day..... ok well ya, it would have been better if we would have gotten that second Blue Marlin on the boat! Highly recommend

I chose this particular tour because it was a smaller group size and I did not want to feel crowded or overwhelmed on a boat with strangers. It was the perfect amount of people, and my husband and I ended up chatting with most of the other passengers, having lots in common. Our captain was Caiden, who was extremely kind, informative, and entertaining. We also had crewmates Sienna, Diego, and Jim looking out for us and making sure that we were comfortable and had all of our wants and needs met. I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire trip and I appreciated having a certified lifeguard on boat with us. The snorkeling experience was phenomenal and being pregnant, it made me feel so calm and relaxed. I appreciated learning the history of the two various locations we snorkeled at and the opportunity to see a sea turtle. The ship itself was pristine, and the restrooms were some of the cleanest I have ever experienced on a boat. The breakfast and lunch that they served us was tasty, and the macadamia nut cookies at the end were the perfect sweet treat. I appreciated that they were able to offer me mocktails since I cannot drink at this time, and those were tasty as well. This experience was worth every penny and I would definitely come back and do it again.

For us, we prefer the Sunset Cocktail cruise as it's the perfect amount of food and drinks. This last trip, we took the whole family for the express snorkel trip. It's a shorter trip, which worked perfectly for the younger kids and didn't tie up a big amount of island time. Captain Nick and his crew was all about making sure all had a great time while keeping safety at the top of mind. They guaranteed we'd see turtles... we did! Immediately. I accused them of being remote controlled because they were there right on cue! I'm not a big snorkel guy, but I had a blast. We'll keep returning to Sea Maui. Greatest crew on Maui !!

    On our vacation to Maui last week, we took trips out to the sea with Sea Maui twice. Our first trip…read moreout was an adults-only family excursion while the kids hung out with their grandma and auntie. The catamaran was pretty sweet, with some really comfy bean bags overlooking the edge out to the ocean. While we did occasionally get splashed in this area, it was worth the unobstructed view of the sunset and the breeze in my hair. The crew was especially sweet and treated all of us like absolute royalty. A note to those who are prone to motion sickness: do not try to be brave and only wear sea bands thinking you'll be okay. Take your Dramamine an hour before you board the catamaran. While the first half of our dinner cruise was fine with my motion sickness, the second half of the trip left me feeling really queasy around dinner service time. This made me very sad. This was no fault of the crew, and 100% my fault for thinking I could tough it out. If you are ill-prepared, the crew has ginger ale, club soda and ginger chews to help. Speaking of dinner, the few bites I was able to eat on our first trip were fantastic: a full dinner buffet prepared by Cafe Jai. The salmon was perfectly tender, as was the short rib. The caesar salad was just the right amount of tangy (and the extra dressing was really great on the salmon as well.) I'm not sure what kind of sauce was on the crispy seasoned potatoes but they were absolutely delightful. And of course, the crown on top of a delicious meal was the mini brownie cup we were served for dessert before we wrapped up the trip. Our second trip (where I was prepared with some Dramamine) was a memorial for our grandparents, where we released their cremains at sea with eco-urns. I must say that the crew handled everything wonderfully. We had the full bar, another beautiful buffet spread including some delicious crispy chicken, a pesto pasta salad, pulled beef sliders, and rolls. After we said our emotional goodbyes, we were given rose petals to release into the ocean. We even received certificates after the trip that gave us the coordinates of where my grandparents cremains were released. I seriously cannot thank Sea Maui enough for giving my family a truly memorable experience on our trip to Maui. They made our trip so special. A million thanks for the kindness!

It's not strenuous and you're taken back to some private land that you'd not have access to if you just drove up and parked (if you found a parking spot) and hiked back in. We were lucky to have the lovely, fun, and knowledgeable guide named Randolyn ..aka Ran. She was the perfect blend of kind, patient and engaging with the grandkids, and very helpful with us old folks! On the drive on the way home she advised a few newbies to the island where some great places to eat were... they greatly appreciated her ideas! She had the most pleasant demeanor.... :) If you want a fun morning walk, call Hike Maui

In addition to servicing the motor, I had them clean the bottom of my boat. They charged me more to clean my 15' boat than I pay to have my 74' boat bottom cleaned in San Diego.

The prices are ridiculous there is a minimum 40 percent markup on everything. There is no protection of customer information there were sheets of paper everywhere with customer name, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card information. If you want your identity stolen then shop here. On top of that the sales person has a bad attitude and never returns calls. On top of it all you have a greedy owner who is not from here that is just trying to soak you for every penny. If you want overpriced and incompetent then please by all means shop here. Otherwise do yourself a favor shop somewhere else lots of places on Oahu will ship here to Maui and you will probably save yourself some money. I would highly recommend NOT shopping here. Don't say you were not warned. Good luck if you do.

After checking in with him, he guided us to go to for gate boarding. Walked to the gate and was greeted by another quicksilver employee for boarding. In the process of boarding we took a group picture. Entered the boat and took our seats in front of the boat. Not to long, we were on our way out to sea. It was always my bucket list to see whales. It did not dissapoint, I was seeing whales left, right and back. Our captain was friendly and gave facts about the whales. He did not make the 2hr tour boring. Aside from whale watching, the employees were asking us if we wanted drinks. So we ordered a few adult beverages to keep us warm and enthusiastic on seeing whales. Overall, the best $49 spent. Whales are beautiful creatures. This was an eye opener for me. Educational experience. I would definitely do this again if given an opportunity. Keep in mind, when you take a whale tour you may not be as close to the whales. Some were .2 to .5 miles away. The whales drift and fast to move. Dont expect a free willy experience. Lol Still awesome to see island and its beauties. I highly recommend Kudos to the entire Quicksilver staff! Friendly and professional.

From the…read moremoment we stepped onboard until we returned to the harbor, everything was incredibly organized. The crew worked together like a well-oiled machine and made the entire experience seamless. A quick tip before you arrive: parking is $7, and you absolutely need to pay it. There were tow trucks literally sitting in the parking lot waiting for people who didn't pay. It definitely wasn't worth risking getting your rental car towed over $7! The food was surprisingly good! Breakfast included pastries, fresh fruit, muffins, a coffee bar, delicious juices, and water. They also served healthy snacks after snorkeling with fresh cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and hummus. Lunch was a choice of pulled pork sandwiches or deli sandwiches with chips, sodas, and other drinks. After snorkeling, alcoholic beverages were available for purchase as well. The boat itself was fantastic, with three bathrooms, two water slides, a jumping platform off the second deck, and even reef-safe sunscreen provided for everyone. The snorkeling was absolutely incredible! The coral was beautiful, and there was so much marine life. We saw countless tropical fish, two octopuses, a squid, needlefish, and more sea turtles than we could count. It truly felt like swimming in an aquarium. A special shoutout goes to Corine, who was the absolute highlight of our trip. Unfortunately, several people became seasick during the ride, and she cared for every single one of them with such kindness and compassion--bringing water, Dramamine, napkins, and constantly checking on them. She never seemed bothered and genuinely made those guests feel cared for. She was amazing! One tip: if you're prone to motion sickness, take Dramamine before the trip. We did see quite a few people getting sick over the side of the boat because the ocean can be rough. This excursion exceeded all of our expectations. Great food, an amazing crew, a beautiful boat, and some of the best snorkeling we've ever experienced. 10/10--we would absolutely do it again!
