Sail Maui
Catamarans off Maalaea that really do sail, with snorkel stops at Molokini and Coral Gardens. Paid. Works from about age 3.
Performance sailing catamarans out of Maalaea Harbor that make a point of actually sailing rather than motoring, which is unusual among Maui day boats. Trips run to Molokini, the Lanai coast, or Coral Gardens for snorkeling, and the shorter West Maui and Coral Gardens sails are the easiest sell for younger kids. The boats carry between 25 and 49 guests, small enough that children can sit up on the trampolines between the hulls and watch the water go by underneath. Sail Maui also departs from Lahaina Harbor during daylight hours, though sunset departures run from Maalaea only while Lahaina Harbor lighting is still being restored.
Pricing
From $120 for the 2.5-hour Coral Gardens sail to $200 for the 5-hour Lanai coast trip (verify)
