Hawaii Nautical is focused on providing a safe and enjoyable sailing experience for everyone that’s in accordance with a new initiative called Safe Access Oahu. The mandate will take effect September 13, 2021 and will last for 60 days. Please see the “Safe Access Oahu” section below for more detail.

Hawaii Nautical is one of Hawaii’s largest ocean-activity providers, with a fleet of vessels island-wide serving many harbors across Oahu and the Big Island. We believe in delivering service, safety, and the spirit of Aloha.
We respect the ocean and the ecosystem; we follow strict guidelines so that all marine mammals and wildlife are protected. And we honor the host-culture and support the local communities in which we operate.
We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow, and for every tomorrow after.
That’s why we are Hawaii’s first Dolphin Smart-recognized operator. NOAA’s Dolphin Smart educates guests about dolphin conservation and harassment and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild.
We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices — such as no fish-feeding. Coral conservation aims to save these valuable ecosystems, unite communities and preserve cultural identity.
We’ve been wowing guests of all ages for decades in Hawaii. While there’s lots of excitement around our activities, we practice the highest level of safety in everything we do. We treat guests like ohana, the Hawaiian word for family that permeates everything we do.

- Our boats have multiple outdoors areas, and we will limit cabin entry duration, we will not need to visually screen each and every guest’s proof of vaccine/test card (and will allow people with neither one to still attend, because this an outdoor experience except for limited cabin entry).
- Our online waiver form documenting last-date vaccine/test will be our avenue for mass screening. Any actual visual checks of guest cards or tests will only have to happen if a guest wants to nap, eat, or remain inside cabin for longer than 15 minutes. We are currently working on signage for our Oahu boats.
