The
Coon family’s Trilogy Excursions cover all of your water
fantasies on modern catamarans, not unlike the outriggers
the Hawaiians used to cross the Pacific for hundreds of years.
Sailing to Maui themsleves, three generations ago, the Coon
family stayed to create Maui's largest sailing fleet. Year
after year, it is voted #1 by visitors.
There are three boarding locations to
choose from: Maalaea, to snorkel Molokini, Kaanapali for snorkel
and scuba sites on Maui or Lahaina or for all-day excursions
to the private island of Lanai. You can also add the Wild
Dolphin Watch, Jeep Safari or Eco-Enrichment Kids Camp to
your Lanai trip.
 You'll
enjoy the home cookin’ and friendly crew with lots of aloha
on any of the trips. Discover for yourself why Trilogy has
been so popular by joining the Trilogy crew for a trip to
remember.

 To
Molokini... and beyond.
Cruise
or snorkel Molokini aboard Prince Kuhio, a 92 ft. motor
yacht built for Virgil Koehne in 1984. This luxury cruise
vessel is designed to accommodate 150 passengers in comfort
and convenience with an air-conditioned main cabin, large
sun deck, fresh water showers and extra large swim step.
One of the captains, Mike Peavy, heard
about the design of the Prince Kuhio, while it was being built
in Louisiana. He was captaining crew boats in the Gulf of
Mexico at the time. He left and flew to Maui to meet the boat
when it arrived and soon signed on. He even married his first
mate, who was also part of the original crew.

| Molokini Island. Divers’ Mecca. |
The Prince Kuhio leaves Maalaea Harbor
7:15 am daily for trips to Molokini Crater Preserve and returns
at noon. The trip includes snorkeling at two sites, Molokini
and Kalaeloa, better known as Turtle Town (weather permitting).
A continental breakfast is served as well
as a deluxe deli buffet lunch to fill your opu (stomach).
There is snorkeling gear, plus hands-on, in-the-water instruction
by the friendly certified crew. SNUBA gear, underwater cameras,
optical masks and flotation devices are also available. A
videographer is on staff.
Whale watch trips are from Dec. 15 through
March and leave at 12:30 pm, returning at 2:30 pm daily. A
great way to see whales is from the 15 ft. high observation
deck. A complimentary air-conditioned motor coach is available
for transport to and from the harbor.
This is the boat all ages will really
enjoy. Call 808 242-8777 or 800 468-1287.
