What are the pluses and minuses of private chartering this boat?
Downsides
You get the whole boat. So if it’s only a small group the price can be more than if you simply booked spots aboard her with other divers.
Benefits
You get the whole boat. If you want to do a certain dive site or see something specific we will do our best to deliver it for you. You can choose sites and timing. You can bring anyone aboard including observers and snorkelers. The crew is there just for you so you get their full personal attention. Finally, it can be a cost savings versus booking 6 spots. It is more cost-effective to private charter the boat.
Kona private boat charters are often booked out far in advance. Be sure to reserve yours now before spots book up.
How does this boat differ from other options?
The Honu lele is faster than most boats. This is because it has large powerful engines and is a catamaran. The catamaran hull design allows it to cut through smaller surface chop than a typical v-hull design. This means more speed and comfort.
The bow has a raised deck. This is great for lounging in the sun and observing wildlife like dolphins who love to catch a ride on the bow wake.
The boat is fully shaded so there are plenty of places to hide from the sun.
Seating is limited compared to the other rental boats. Most divers sit on the gunwales or the back transom. There is a great seat in front of the captain but the view is not as good and it can get bumpy in larger swell conditions.
All-in-all compared to most Kona private boat charters this one is not only a great deal. It’s also fun and comfortable. Offering a more exclusive option for smaller groups.
