Captain Pete and his daughter Monica were amazing! The other crew members were just as friendly. We felt so welcomed and appreciated the wealth of knowledge he relayed to our group of five - most of whom had not been on a boat before. When we arrived at the dock the first thing I noticed is how big a 60 ft yacht is! I also noticed that the yacht was really well maintained and clean. The other boats on the dock were not half as clean as the HONDO. I knew we would be safe and comfortable by how well maintained the yacht was..
At first, given our morning trip had overcast skies and we headed out towards Diamond Head. But, when we got out on the water and the sky cleared and what a beautiful day! ,
To see Oahu from off shore was amazing, beautiful with the green mountains in the background.
Capt Pete advised that the overcast and calm waters were ideal conditions to go out (no sun glare to interfere with finding our aquatic friends).
A few miles off of Diamond Head and traveling down the coast, we were lucky to find and watch a pod of dolphins in the area.
We were really lucky that the dolphins were in a playful state and it was great to see them come up in formation one after the other chasing our wake! Our kids were thrilled!
Our last stop was to do some swimming and a really beautiful swim spot where we saw turtles and colorful fish! After our swim we were treated so a light lunch which was perfect!
We had an awesome time and highly recommend using this company! The small group max capacity allowed us to have a very personal tour and everyone could see everything while still being comfortable.
I highly recommend PCK Nautical, the price was so reasonable for a private cruise, the boat was huge and clean, the crew were so friendly that we all felt like family. We will be booking again for a sunset cruise!
Thanks, Pete and Monica!!! read more
