Step aboard Mulan, a meticulously appointed sailing yacht helmed by a seasoned Hawaiian crew who treat every guest like ʻohana. Specializing in fully private charters across Oʻahu, Maui, Lānaʻi, and beyond, Mulan marries five-star...
Captain Trevor and his crew consistently deliver what reviewers describe as the highlight of their Hawaiian vacation. The team earns praise for being exceptionally responsive throughout the booking process and incredibly attentive once you're onboard. Multiple guests mention crew members like Tyler, Miranda, and Sydney who seem to anticipate needs before they're even voiced, keeping drinks refreshed and ensuring everyone feels genuinely cared for. The catamaran itself is spotless and well-equipped with water toys, snorkel gear, and even sea scooters for kids. What sets this operation apart is how seriously the crew takes both service and safety. They're proactive about dietary restrictions and allergies, with Chef Ethan preparing impressive spreads that exceed expectations. Families appreciate how crew members jump in the water to help kids snorkel safely, while couples rave about the magical atmosphere for special occasions like elopements and milestone birthdays. Several reviews highlight the educational aspect too, with onboard scientists teaching about reef conservation. The professional warmth comes through consistently, making guests feel like VIPs whether it's a birthday celebration, corporate event, or just a day on the water.
Sailed with Mulan on 4.1.25. Absolute best day of our vacation. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommend the Mulan and the amazing crew we had. Dan, Tyler, Ethan, and Miranda were the absolute best! Our charter was scheduled for 6 hours but we were having so much fun they accommodated us by extending it to 7. Chef Ethan fed us like royalty, the food was friggin amazing and so plentiful! He even made special mac and cheese for our picky little ones (which they loved)! They even ate is amazing green beans, and salad, too! We had to fight them for a cookie because they were devouring them! He made sure all food was safe for our granddaughter to eat (peanut/tree nut allergy), which took a huge health concern away. Miranda is an amazing Stew. She contacted me a week before the charter to go over our food and drink preferences. The time difference between us and HI meant she had to get up in the early hours to accommodate my meeting schedule. She greeted us with leis (special ones for those celebrating birthdays). She would not let a drink get below 1/2 a glass, she was running all over the Cat so each of the 8 of us received exceptional service. She refused to let us lift a finger. She was so friendly and attentive and even arranged round-trip transportation for us (good thing because we were so well fed and “watered” that walking back to the hotel would have been a challenge). Tyler (where does he get that energy?) made sure everyone had the floatie/toy of their choice and even escorted the kids snorkeling, helped make sure the young ones were properly fitted with masks/snorkels/flippers. Provided water cannons so the kids could soak their father. He was even a great medic when one of us got boat rash from a missed step. Dan was an amazing captain! Due to sea conditions we were unable to do our planned sail, so he contacted me the night before to offer to reschedule if it fit our plans. Since it did not he found a protected cove for us to spend the day. He didn’t only pilot the Cat he was right there helping the crew with everything they were doing, answering our continuous questions, and was just awesome! I could not speak higher of the crew or the experience. The catamaran was exceptionally clean and had all the water toys you could want. Even a sea scooter that our youngest (8) had a blast using. They even provided a warm shower for rinsing off when getting out of the sea! Not once did we need to ask for anything.
