Have you ever desired to snorkel with sea turtles? Have you ever yearned to venture out into azure waters of Waikiki? Have you ever desired to cruise through ocean waters with a specialty cocktail and a pulled pork sandwich? Do you speak Japanese or English?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then step on up and claim your Yelp deal for Hawaii Nautical tours!
After reaching a pier not 100 meters from the docking station of the real Black Pearl, the peppy crew of Hawaii Nautical instructs you to remove your shoes. Boating with sneakers or flip flops is just not classy, and they like to keep it clean y'all (so be sure you've used your Lamasil lately.)
Prior to boarding the tiny ship (which, fortunately for you Gilligan, won't get lost), adults are given two drink tickets - compliments of the Hawaii Nautical. These tickets can be used for Mai Tai's or beer. Non-alcoholic beverages are unlimited and free for the kids and the drinking and diving leery.
A small breakfast of fresh fruit (even the melon tastes good in Hawaii), mini muffins, coffee and tea is set out for guests. The toilets are clean - and though they get stuck occasionally, the crew is prompt to fix the situation. There's no pee on the floor, so using the rest room is fine for even the most testy germaphobes.
Cruising about 30 minutes into the ocean, passengers are given life vest, snorkel, and goggles. Flipper shoes are dispersed according to size. Instructions are doled out. And then you can either take the expedited way off the boat by plummeting into the warm salt waters or by easing yourself down a staircase. Do the first. It's more fun.
Snorklers are given 45 minutes to frolic in the ocean, stare at oceanic life (schools of fish, 600 lb turtles, and the odd predator). If you're lucky, a crew member might grab a spiny sea urchin from the coral below and surface him for you to hold...and so much for ever eating uni.
Returning from the waters, hungry swimmers are treated to a feast of pulled pork, tuna salad, rolls, and chips and salsa. It's not the best food, but it certainly pacifies a growling stomach.
If you're (un)lucky enough to not see the guaranteed dolphins, fear not, because Hawaii Nautical will compensate you. Our boat was offered a free sunset cruise valid indefinitely.

Hawaii Nautical is a great way to sit back and let someone else take over your morning agenda during your visit to Hawaii.
You set out on a spacious, clean catamaran with light breakfast snacks and booze. You will make smalltalk with fellow tourists and enjoy the light atmosphere that is only found when sailing.
You will snorkel in clear waters and make friends with a few sea turtles, who are surprisingly calm around your flailing, clumsy body.
You will dry off and enjoy a nice meal of Kalua pulled pork sandwiches on some crazy purple bread that I liked a lot. Their tuna salad is good.
Also, they give you two drink tickets that are good for two REALLY STRONG drinks.
These folks are a class act. I did not see spinner dolphins on my trip and they, admitting that they have no control over nature, gave everyone on board free tickets good for another dolphin excursion or sunset sail.
Bottom line - This is 1/3 beautiful sailing excursion, 1/3 booze cruise, and 1/3 fun snorkel adventure. Hawaii Nautical is pretty darn great.

Really enjoyable dives today - especially the LCU wreck! Crew and divemasters were friendly and helpful. The WARM shower is a major plus! Saw a few dolphins too.
Aloha!

OH MY!
You would've never have thought that I am born and raised here on the island of Oahu with my shrieks of thrill, joy and excitement, as a bunch of spinner dolphins decided to give a show as they spun out of the water and swam along with the boat. Yes, I've been to Sea World and Sea Life Park, but I can never grow immune to seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
2 clips I captured with my phone [the quality is not good but you can see the dolphins and hear the excitement of my husband and I]

I've been to several different cruises on this island which included entertainment, hula show, buffet, bar, inter island cruise, sunset cruises, whale watching and dancing . But Hawaii Nautical is definitely one of my top experiences. My husband and I had a ton fun. Only 8 passengers total, it holds 40 plus. Hawaii Nautical offers different types of packages from whale watching, snorkeling, sunset cruise, scuba diving, fire work dinner (Honolulu), and private charters. I got my husband and I spa and sail package from Beautiville. A picture of the coupon:

The package deal aboard the Hawaii Nautical was actually for a sunset cruise (the spinner dolphins, and the whales were an added bonus from mother nature). With the sunset cruise it include:
* Pupus (Appetizers)
* Unlimited non-alcohol beverages
* 2 bar drinks (But on our cruise it was open bar)
Their specialty drink the catatonic is great and the Hawaiian mimosa (champagne and guava juice)
The Boat
Gorgeous, well maintained, and it has two bathrooms on the boat. They ask you to take off your foot wear before you board the boat A picture of the boat:

The Crew
Mosh, Josh, and Kelly were very professional, catered to all the guest on board, and were very informative.
The Food
It stated pupus/appetizers but it was a complete dinner to me. The food is catered from Hapa Grill (The famous Sassy Kassy Lunch wagon) everything was onolicious=delicious.

OMG, and they allowed us to take home the food. That's why the last picture of the pulled pork is in a zip lock bag.
Another added bonus on the sailing trip is that we got see the Black Pearl (Pirates of the Caribbean)
