Honolulu Private Boat Charters

What is a Honolulu private boat charter?

A private boat charter is a fully customizable ocean experience aboard one of our boats, reserved exclusively for your group. You choose the reason. You choose the vibe. We provide the boat, the captain, the crew, and the local know-how to make it work.

This is not a group tour.

This is not a preset route with a script.

It’s your time on the water, planned around what matters to you.

We host everything from weddings and proposals to office outings, fishing trips, and memorials. If it belongs on the ocean, we’ve probably done it – or we’re happy to help you be the first.

What kinds of events can you host on a private charter?

Short answer: almost anything.

Over the years, guests have trusted us with moments that matter. Big ones. Quiet ones. Once-in-a-lifetime ones.

Here are some of the most common Honolulu private boat charter events we host:

• Proposals
• Weddings
• Anniversaries
• Bachelor and bachelorette parties
• Birthday celebrations
• Baby showers
• Office getaways
• Photography sessions
• Fishing trips
• Committal of ashes

And then there are the events that don’t fit neatly into a category. A family reunion. A surprise celebration. A day that just felt right for the ocean.

If you have an idea, talk to us. We’ll tell you honestly what works, what doesn’t, and how to shape it into something special.

Why choose a private boat charter in Honolulu?

Honolulu has beaches. It has viewpoints. It has restaurants with ocean views.

But nothing compares to being on the water.

A private boat charter lets you:

• Get away from crowds
• Control the pace
• Choose who you’re with
• Create an experience that feels personal

You’re not sharing deck space with strangers, not watching the clock, and not adjusting your plans to fit a tour schedule.

You’re out there with your people, moving along the coast, watching the light change, feeling the breeze, and realizing that this is the version of Hawaii you were hoping to find.

What makes Ocean Adventures Hawaii different?

We’ve been doing this long enough to know that the boat is only part of the experience.

What really matters is how it feels.

We’re known for our service because we listen first. We don’t assume what you want. We ask. Then we help you shape it into something that works on the water.

A few things guests consistently tell us they appreciate:

• Small, intimate cruises
• Experienced local captains and crew
• Flexibility
• Clear communication
• No pressure, no upselling

Some guests come to us with a full plan. Others just know they want something private and memorable. 

Both are fine.

Can you customize a private boat charter?

Yes. That’s the whole point.

Every Honolulu private boat charter we run is customizable. That includes:

• Duration
• Route
• Purpose
• Tone (celebratory, relaxed, quiet, adventurous)
• Activities

Want a short cruise focused on photos?

Want a longer outing with time to relax offshore?

Want something meaningful and low-key?

We’ll help you figure out what makes sense based on your group size, timing, and goals.

How long does a private charter last?

Private charters can vary in length depending on what you’re planning.

Some events work best with a shorter window. Others benefit from extra time to settle in and let the experience unfold naturally.

We’ll talk through options and recommend a duration that fits your event – not one that feels rushed or padded.

Who are our Honolulu private charters best for?

Private boat charters work well for people who want:

• Privacy
• Flexibility
• A personal experience
• A meaningful setting

They’re especially popular for:

• Couples planning proposals or anniversaries

If your group values quality over quantity, this is usually the right choice.

What’s included with a private boat charter?

Every private boat charter includes the essentials to keep things comfortable and smooth:

• Private boat
• Captain and crew
• Custom event planning support
• Restrooms below deck

Depending on your charter, additional elements may be available or discussed during planning.

We keep things straightforward. No surprises. No confusion.

What about weddings and proposals?

These are some of our most meaningful charters.

There’s something powerful about being on the ocean when you ask an important question or say important words. The setting does a lot of the work for you.

For weddings and proposals, we help with:

• Timing
• Location along the coast
• Privacy
• Flow of the experience

You focus on the moment. We handle the logistics.

Can you host a memorial or committal of ashes?

Yes. And we approach these charters with care and respect.

The ocean holds deep meaning for many families. A private charter offers a quiet, dignified space to honor a loved one without distractions.

We’ll guide you through the process and make sure the experience feels appropriate, calm, and supportive.

What about fishing trips?

We also offer Honolulu private boat charters focused on fishing.

These trips are relaxed and flexible, whether you’re experienced or just curious. It’s a chance to enjoy the water, learn something new, and spend quality time together without pressure.

How many people can join a private charter?

Our charters are designed to stay small and intimate. That keeps the experience comfortable and personal.

Group size limits depend on the boat and the nature of the event. We’ll confirm details during planning.
