Captain Brad and his rotating crew of guides (Esteban, Ryan, Jade, and Jen get frequent shout-outs) have clearly built something special here. Reviewers consistently praise how the smaller boat setup creates a more intimate, flexible experience than the big commercial charters. The crew accesses turtle spots that larger vessels can't reach, times visits to Molokini Crater to avoid crowds, and even tosses in bonus stops to catch whales breaching or epic waves along the coast. The four-hour snorkeling tours feel genuinely generous with water time. What stands out beyond the logistics is how the crew balances professionalism with genuine fun. They're described as knowledgeable about marine life without being dry or lecture-y, safety-conscious without being overbearing. First-time snorkelers felt completely supported, while experienced ocean-goers appreciated touches like the hydrophone that let everyone hear humpback whale songs underwater. The vibe seems consistently upbeat, with good music playing and plenty of snacks to keep energy up between dives. For both whale watching and snorkeling adventures, this operation delivers the more personal, adventurous experience that travelers hoped for when they specifically chose a smaller outfit.
Had a wonderful experience whale watching with Captain Brad and naturalist Jen! They were both fun and informative at the same time! We saw many pairs of calves and moms and few solo whales as well! The boat was super comfortable and it was nice to be able to maneuver quickly to where the active whales were. The other benefit is we only had to make it a few minutes out of the harbor to start seeing whales! Would definitely use this company again next time we are in Maui!
