Do you want to have a large, comfortable boat all to yourself for that Special Day? We do that on the motor vessel Lani Kai, based out of Ma’alaea Harbor in central Maui.

Maui, and our boat, are perfect for weddings!

Your guests will mingle easily and naturally while enjoying something new and out-of-the-ordinary. People get to know each other in a new and different way, around a fun, planned activity.

Catering and alcoholic beverages are available. Tours and water activities are also available.

This video will give you a taste of Maui.

The Maui experience. A wonderful place to take your vows and build lifelong memories.

About Friendly Charters

A great part of your experience is our wonderful, experienced crew. Our senior captain, Marc, has run boats out of Ma’alaea Harbor for 20 years.

The goal of our Crew is to provide you with an awesome experience and treat you as an individuals. On every trip we hard work to give you the best experience on Maui.

If you wish, we can take you and your guests sightseeing, or arrange such things as the ceremony officiant, snorkeling, SNUBA and other water sports, wet suits, floats, boards, t-shirts, even souvenir hats.

For watersports, we help beginners with all their needs, until they feel safe. Even if you can’t swim you can learn to snorkel! For those that need it, we have vision-correcting snorkel masks in a variety of prescriptions.

Ask our crew about anything you want to know. We don’t spoil your trip with a lot of microphone talk, but we’re glad to answer questions and give tours.

We offer sunset cruises, too, even if it’s just for the two of you.

Please call about pricing, which is dependent on the season, the number of people you have, the food and drinks you want, your destination, how long you want to have the boat and whether you want us to arrange entertainment.

The morning minimum is four hours; the afternoon and evening minimum is two hours.
