Friendly Charters

Friendly Charters is one of the snorkeling charters in Maui, Hawaii. The Lani Kai is the 53 foot catamaran with double deck that takes out up to 59 passengers on snorkeling or boat tours of the surrounding islands. The captain will take the boat to three different snorkeling spots: Molokini, Coral Gardens, or Turtle Town. Molokini is a volcanic crater, which is underwater between Maui and Kaho'olawe. The visibility at this one location tends to be 100 to 150 feet. Turtles, white tip shark, reef shark, and a variety of sea creatures grace the area.

Whales and turtles are some of the marine animals to see while snorkeling or cruising around the island. Friendly Charters makes it possible to see turtles up to 5 feet long. The Lani Kai crew is there to pamper the guests who take out the charter boat whether it is for a snorkeling adventure or cruise. They serve Mai Tai's or beer after the adventures. The boat leaves from Ma'alaea Harbor. It is located in slip 76. Depending on one's originating location it can take 15 to 45 minutes to reach the appropriate harbor and slip since it does not leave from the more popular Lahaina Harbor.
