Few vessels in Hawaiʻi combine the heritage, craftsmanship, and versatility of Shaka. Designed by legendary Hawaiian multihull pioneers Choy, Seaman & Kumalae (C/S/K) and extensively refit in recent years, this 36’6″ sailing catamaran offers a unique opportunity to own a proven Hawaiian-built vessel with modernized systems and a fresh hull rebuild.

Originally constructed in 1978, Shaka underwent an extensive restoration that included removal of the original outer hull skins, inspection and repair of the structural framework, installation of new composite hull sides, new fiberglass laminates, Awlgrip paint, updated wiring, and numerous system upgrades. The result is a vessel that retains the character and pedigree of a classic Hawaiian catamaran while benefiting from substantial modernization.

The spacious layout features a large open salon with a retractable roof, wide side decks, twin trampolines, an elevated helm station, an enclosed head compartment, and ample storage throughout the hulls. The vessel’s open deck plan creates an ideal platform for sunset sailing, coastal cruising, snorkeling adventures, family outings, or entertaining guests on the water.

Powered by a Yamaha F115 four-stroke outboard mounted on a unique centerline lifting system, Shaka offers dependable propulsion while maintaining the sailing characteristics that made these Hawaiian catamarans famous. The vessel has also been operated under a Coastwise endorsement and has previously been utilized as a six-passenger charter vessel, providing flexibility for future owners who may wish to explore commercial applications where permitted.

Whether you’re seeking a distinctive cruising platform, a capable daysailer, or a piece of Hawaiʻi maritime history, Shaka delivers an ownership experience unlike anything else currently available on the market.
