Mike, Gay and Dan have been in the snorkeling and diving business around Maui waters for years. Mike and Dan were captains for another vessel. Gay, Mike’s wife, was the first mate.
After all these years we decided that we could offer something better. We all had been working on large (149 passenger) snorkel boats and felt that we were losing touch with the personal service and the one-on-one interaction that our passengers needed and deserved. Our answer to this was to downsize and get back to individual attention, instruction and service.
This goes against the current trend of larger boats carrying as many passengers as possible. After extensive research, Mike and Dan found a boat builder with exactly Aqua Adventure Charters needs in mind.
Basically, we had the boat built using our years of experience and understanding of what our passengers wanted. A 50 foot, high speed, snorkel and snuba diving vessel customized to our respects for detail. Even though we are now the owners, we are still the operators. Captain Mike, has been operating boats in Maui waters for over 35 years.
He knows these waters better than most. His wife Gay, ( 3rd generation Maui BTW ), runs the office for us, and most importantly, she keeps us all in line.

Dan and Lynette have 30 years of experience running boats in Maui, and do a great job helping our customers.

Captain Darryl (our other brother Darryl) joined us in August 2004. Captain Darryl is a born and raised Maui boy with over 35 years experience working on Maui waters.
Not only does he share our love for what we do, but he has also been a close friend of the Aqua Adventure Family for over 35 years. We are very happy to have him with us. Thanks Brudda!

If you are calling us direct, its probably Cindy. She is the one you will probably get on the phone.
If for any reason you have a hard time understanding her, well, she is multi generation Portuguese / Hawaiian and we have a hard time understanding her ourselves:) That Pidgin Hawaiian thing.

Kathleen (AKA Kat) is Gay’s sister and she helps us immensely on the phones and with that office stuff.
