Private Catamaran Charter in Oahu for Couples
Just the two of you, a licensed captain and crew, and the open water off Honolulu's south shore. Whether it is an anniversary, a honeymoon, or simply time together, the whole catamaran is yours for an unhurried day or evening on the Pacific.

An Afternoon That Belongs to the Two of You
A restaurant has other tables. A beach has other people. A private charter has neither. When you book the Island Jewel as a couple, the entire catamaran is reserved for you — no other passengers, no fixed route, no one rushing you along. It is one of the few ways to find genuine privacy on a Hawaii holiday.
Complete Privacy
No strangers, no crowds. The deck is yours — for a quiet conversation, a swim, or simply watching the water go by.
An Unhurried Pace
Linger at a snorkel spot, drift offshore, or stay out for the sunset. The captain shapes the day around the two of you.
A Beautiful Setting
Diamond Head, the open Pacific, and the Honolulu coastline — a backdrop that turns an ordinary afternoon into a memory.
Made for Special Moments
A couples charter suits any reason to spend time together on the water.
Anniversaries
Mark the occasion with a private day or sunset on the water — a celebration that is entirely your own.
Honeymoons
Begin married life with a private charter — snorkelling, swimming, and a sunset toast, just the two of you.
Date Days & Proposals
A memorable date, or the setting for a proposal. See our proposal charters.
What to Expect Onboard
The Island Jewel is a 40-foot Excess 12 sailing catamaran — spacious, stable, and comfortable. Even for two, you have the whole boat to spread out and relax.
Captain + Crew Included
A USCG-licensed captain and crew handle everything, leaving the two of you free to simply enjoy the day.
Snorkelling & Swimming
Anchor at Turtle Canyon, swim in clear water, and snorkel the reef together. All gear is included.
Bring Your Own Food & Drinks
Light provisions are included. Bring a bottle of wine, a picnic, or whatever makes the day yours. No glass on board, please.
Your Own Soundtrack
Connect to the Bluetooth sound system and play the music that means something to the two of you.
Sunset Option
Time your charter for golden hour and watch the sun set over Diamond Head. See our sunset charters.
Photos to Keep
The crew can capture your day on the onboard GoPro — a lasting memory of your time on the water.

Pricing & What Is Included
One simple rate covers the boat, the captain, and the crew. The price is the same for two guests as for a small group — so the whole catamaran is yours either way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the charter really just for the two of us?
Yes. Every charter is private. The entire Island Jewel is reserved for you alone — there are no other passengers on board.
Does it cost more or less for just two people?
The flat rate is the same regardless of group size. For two guests, that means the whole boat is yours for the same price — a private experience without a per-person premium.
Can you help with a proposal or surprise?
Yes. Let us know when you book and the crew will help with the timing and the moment. See our proposal charters for more.
Can we bring wine or champagne?
Yes. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages, including alcohol for guests of legal drinking age. We ask only that you bring no glass on board — cans and plastic only.
Daytime or sunset for a couple?
Both are wonderful. Daytime is best for swimming and snorkelling together; sunset is best for a relaxed, romantic toast as the light turns gold. Tell us what you have in mind and we will help you choose.
