This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built commercial charter vessel together with commercial harbor positioning on Hawai‘i Island’s world-famous Kohala Coast.

Included in the sale is a 41’ Naiad aluminum commercial RHIB built by Brix Marine and a commercial slip package in Kawaihae Harbor — one of the most strategically located commercial harbors in Hawai‘i for snorkeling, whale watching, coastal tours, and private charter operations.

Purpose-designed specifically for demanding daily charter service in Hawaiian waters, this USCG Subchapter “T” inspected vessel is configured for up to 40 passengers plus 2 crew and powered by triple Yamaha 300HP outboards with Helm Master EX joystick controls.

This is a rarely available high-end operational platform positioned directly adjacent to Hawai‘i Island’s premier luxury resort corridor and private communities.

The Kohala Coast Advantage

Operating from Kawaihae Harbor places this vessel directly on the stunning Kohala Coast, widely considered one of the most desirable charter regions in all of Hawai‘i. Guests departing from Kawaihae experience breathtaking panoramic views of five mountains, including:

• Mauna Kea
• Mauna Loa
• Hualālai
• Kohala Mountain
• Haleakalā on Maui during clear conditions

The coastline is known for:

• Crystal-clear blue water
• Extensive coral reef systems
• Exceptional snorkeling destinations
• The best seasonal humpback whale activity on the Big Island

Kawaihae Harbor also offers immediate proximity to the island’s top-rated luxury resorts and private communities, including:

• Mauna Kea Resort
• Hapuna Prince
• Mauna Lani Resort
• Waikoloa Beach Resort
• Kukio
• Hualālai Resort
• Kohanaiki

This positioning provides direct access to affluent resort guests, private charter clientele, and luxury tourism traffic. Commercial opportunities with harbor positioning along this coastline are increasingly difficult to obtain.

Vessel Overview

The 12.5M Naiad platform is internationally respected for its commercial durability, soft ride quality, stability, and passenger comfort. Built using 5086 alloy aluminum construction with Naiad’s heavy-duty foam collar system, the vessel was engineered specifically for commercial passenger operations in challenging marine environments. The oversized 15’ beam and open passenger layout create tremendous usable deck space while maintaining excellent visibility and operational functionality for crew. Twin sideboarding doors, commercial seating arrangements, fold-down dive ladders, and wide deck access make the platform ideal for:

• Snorkel charters
• Whale watches
• Sunset cruises
• Adventure tours
• Private luxury excursions

A Rare Hawai‘i Commercial Opportunity

Finding a purpose-built USCG-inspected commercial vessel is difficult. Finding one already positioned within Hawai‘i’s commercial harbor system — particularly along the Kohala Coast resort corridor — is exceptionally rare. This package offers immediate commercial capability without years of build timelines, inspections, outfitting, or harbor positioning uncertainty. For operators looking to expand an existing fleet or establish a premium charter presence on the Big Island, this represents a unique opportunity. This is not being offered as a turnkey business but rather as an exceptional building block to a prosperous business.
