ABOUT CALYPSO MAUI

The Calypso Maui is ready to take you on exciting ocean excursions. The boat launches from Ma’alaea – the most easily reached, centralized harbor on the island . You can go on the morning Molokini Snorkeling Tour , the Sunset Dinner Cruise , the seasonal Whale Watch , and – for super special occasions — the Private Charter !

This motorized catamaran is built with three decks of fun, and is a wonderful vessel for landlubbers and ocean adventurers alike. The Calypso Maui operates like a spacious, floating amusement park, and her double hulls are built for stability . When the boat is moving forward, the twin hulls cut smartly through the water, leaving most of the craft to float high above the waves, and ride on top of the sea-surface winds. This leads to a comfortable, smooth catamaran snorkeling trip in Maui for you and your group, even when island trade-winds factor in.

The views from Calypso Maui are better than any other boat for miles, because she is the only vessel on the island that has three decks .  As a bonus, you’ll find glass panels on the bottom of the boa t, too!  Two of the cabins are completely covered from the sun, but both ends are open to the sea air. The huge tinted windows along both the port and starboard sides ensure that you always have a good view of the great Pacific beyond the railings.  Year round, it’s good to keep your eyes open for  flying fish , sea turtles, dolphins, false killer whales, and other fantastic marine animals who may be up near the surface. During whale season (mid-December through mid-April), come out to see the 45-ton humpback whales! Once you’ve seen a whale, nothing else can compare.

Our fun, dynamic, and experienced crew is there for you no matter what you need, and safety is paramount. If you come out with us to Molokini Crater, the captain and crew will teach you what you need to know in order to snorkel. Crew members will explain how to use the wide dive steps, two water slides, or the “leap of faith” jump-off point to enter the water, and they will entertain you with little-known facts about the islands that you are gliding past. The crew will also have delicious food and drinks at the ready, along with local insider tips, good humor, and  Aloha .

600+ 5-STAR REVIEWS FROM GUESTS!

We had a large group with small children. The crew was very accommodating and friendly! They made sure we had a spot together on the boat and were comfortable! They had all the right equipment to make snorkeling doable for all skill levels and ages including a viewing board to allow my 2 year old niece to see the ocean bottom. The food was great! The boat was clean and spacious! The family said it was a highlight of the trip! We would definitely do it again!

Great experience! Enjoyed the large boat. The crew were awesome, friendly and professional! The food was delicious! It was two fabulous snorkeling spots!

This trip was amazing. Having a big boat was worth it. Sure there were more people. But when there was a heavy surf we barely noticed. The food for both breakfast and lunch was great!!! Also on the ride back they gave out some little ice creams too! The photographer Marley is amazing at photographing and he has both go pros and nice camera to use in the water. This was 100% worth it.

We took our kids (6 & 11) and we had a blast! The highlight was swimming with a turtle for sure. Every just seeing the cool fish was amazing. The girls loved the slides off the boat and the food was good. Definitely would do it again

An absolute must do. This is an awesome adventure for the price. You get to stop at two locations and even if you only get out and snorkel at one it is way worth it for the cost. Molokini was incredible and clear. The crew on this boat makes everything even better the captain is funny, friendly, gives clear helpful instructions to snorkel newbies like myself and they have everything they can for sea sickness. Truly an amazing time with the Calypso.

Me and my friend got to go on the dinner cruise. The captain was great, the boat was very nice, we loved the live music(Alex is very talented), the crew was good and the food and views were amazing! Thanks for an unforgettable evening aboard the Calypso!

Why Customers Love Kamanu Catamaran

a drawing of a face

We had a wonderful ,relaxing voyage! Captain and his assistant were very friendly, informative and funny! It was a beautiful evening-we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect excursion.

Amazing opportunity to get sunset pictures. Enjoyed the company of the others on the boat and the boat crew.

We did the Sunset Cruise. Our captain was very patient, and waited 20 minutes for a couple who said they were 2 minutes away, and never did show up. That doesn't include the 30 minutes prior to launch that everyone was told to arrive at. Great crew, beautiful sunset, mai tais, beer and wine were great, and the food was more than anticipated for appetizers. Definitely would recommend!

We loved our sailing and snorkeling trip! The team was wonderful, and it was magical to snorkel and see the fish. We even saw Eagle Rays, swimming in parallel, a breaktaking highlight for us. Thank you!

Beautiful snorkelling trip with a great crew. Small group, very personable and friendly crew. Really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend to anyone who would love to enjoy snorkelling without the crowds.

Captain Peter or Paul and first mate Patrick were awsome on our sunset sail out of Kona. My son wanted a sailing catamaran not a motor sail and I found Kamanu on yelp. It did not disappoint, the crew snd boat was fabulous. Felt more intimate then the larger tours. You can’t go wrong with this crew.

As the pioneers of the CraigCat tours, the very first to do it, we do promise to give you an adventure you’ll never forget!

What is a CraigCat?

The CraigCat is an exceptionally unique watercraft that has been giving people nothing but smiles for over 30 years! This two-seat catamaran with 30 Horsepower outboard engine driven speed boat allows our guests to go up to speeds nearing 30 mph! The boat allows for a much more intimate ride than similar small watercraft such as wave runners or jet skis. This allows our guests to sit in a relaxed, comfortable position and stretch out during their CraigCat ride around Marco Island. Conversation is much easier between driver and rider on the CraigCat thanks to the design of the seats being side by side rather than forward and behind.

The CraigCat is also known for being very stable and very safe as well as easy to operate. After a short 15 minute instructional and safety speech, you will have all the know how needed to operate the vessel and enjoy the adventure.

The CraigCat offers a space for a complimentary cooler provided by us filled with bottled water and ice already. The CraigCat also has a small dry box built on the boat to place your belongings safe from any splashes. We’ll make sure you have the best Backwater Adventure around Marco Island!

Reviews of Our Tours in The 10,000 Islands!

We saw several dolphins, some of which came right up to our boat! Our tour guide was the owner and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this to any of my family or friends who visit Florida!

This is the best tour I've ever been on and I live right on the water. The guide really knows how to make these trips awesome not to mention the quality of the water crafts your driving and in complete control of make it a smooth ride. If your into pictures of national geographic scenery of the 10,000 islands then this is the trip for you. Highly recommended. I go at least once a month!!!!! It never gets old.

We were able to see 2 dolphin pods: 1 was leery of humans since it had a baby dolphin, the other pod was quite playful and hung around our boats for a great experience. It was also fun to cruise around the small islands in our 2-person CAT boats. This was the best part of our Marco Island vacation!

Tyler, our guide is a super cool dude and it was fun to follow his lead. We got to see dolphins up close and personal. These little 30hp Craig-Cats move pretty fast and are very fun to drive. Would totally go again and again, Tyler made our experience that much better. Good times!

We had a great time, Conner was a great tour guide had fun along the way and I would highly recommend this adventure.

The owner and our tour guide was great. We saw dolphins up close on our trip. He let us know a lot of info of the area and surrounding. The craigcats are so easy to operate that anyone can operate them. The boats were awesome, so awesome that when I got got back home I called craigcat and bought one. would recommend this company to anyone. Its definitely a great time

We had a great time! It’s not only fun, the owner to our guide, Jason were so professional and thoughtful of our needs. All of us loved it and cannot wait to return!

Catamaran Kahanu

This is the crew you want to go with, they are so personal and caring. They let everyone on board get a unique experience. They are not like the other charters that take 100 people, this is a family-owned business that cares about everyone that sets foot on board.

We had such a great time. We saw the breathtaking Napali coast, snorkeled, saw sea turtles, and observed dolphins up close. We couldn’t have wished for a more magical time. I highly recommend. The ship and their crew felt more personal. You will enjoy a beautiful day at sea.

This trip was amazing. To start, the captain is extremely knowledgeable and their main concern is your safety. This is a great family experience for all ages. We got to enjoy the beautiful scenery, swam, and saw dolphins. We really enjoyed the Na Pali coast. Beautiful experience.

An amazing outing for our family of 11. Napali coast gorgeous and our guide was quite informative! The catamaran was able to get so close to the shoreline and we saw caves and waterfalls. The snorkeling was great and the equipment was provided. Our captain was outstanding and made our trip fantastic.

Where You Do Your Boating

A Better Boating Experience Begins With A Better Boat

If you’re a boater, you know about the pounding, slapping, exhausting ride that a monohull boat subjects you to. But, with a World Cat power catamaran, you get a smoother, more stable ride. That means no more physical abuse – for you or your family and friends. You can stay on the water longer, and go farther. You’ll come back with more energy, and fewer bruises. And, along with that comfort, you’ll have the confidence to head out in conditions that keep other boaters at shore. Don’t take our word for it, take a sea trial and experience the World Cat advantages for yourself.

Cruise was great

Took the noon cruise. Crew was great. Boat was very clean. . Wonderful day for a cruise. Rum drinks are delicious. Very nice time with friends. Totally relaxing sail. Thought it was really neat that the Nauti-Cat was run by family and friends through the years.

Great time!

Our group of ladies had a blast and everyone said they would do it again. We did the champagne sunset cruise and highly recommend it.

Awesome first experience!

I highly recommend to visitors and Michiganders. Very enjoyable and beautiful scenery. Our captain and first mate were great and everyone we met on the cruise were very friendly.

Great value!

Super fun relaxing way to spend a few hours on the water. Great value! Much cheaper than a conventional sailing cruise for the same kind of adventure. We plan to take more visitors out next summer too!

Great experience!

Nauti Cat came recommended to me from a friend as a must do during our trip to Traverse City. My husband and I did the sunset cruise and enjoyed the staff energy and knowledge of the area. We would definitely do it again during a future visit!

See what our guests are saying about this tour, the boat ride was scenic, the island was breathtaking.

We had an incredible experience on East island Excursion to Cayo Ikakos ! The boat ride was scenic, the island was breathtaking, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our entire family, including the kids, loved every moment of it. The hospitality was exceptional, and we can’t wait to come back for another memorable trip . Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Keep up the good work.

Recently booked a snorkeling tour to Icacos and it was amazing. The prices were fair and they were able to provide transportation from Viejo San Juan for an additional cost. The crew was amazing and took care of us. They were very attentive and they kept the drinks coming. The water conditions weren’t the best for snorkeling but they did their best to find us s spot. Accessing the beach required to swim from the boat. It wasn’t ideal but made it fun. I intend to book again on my next trip to PR. Next time it’ll be Culebra. Keep up the good work. I would love to hear more reguetón and more Latin music next time.
