This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Kailua Pier-based commercial charter operation in the heart of Kailua-Kona. This package conveys the established company holding a Kailua Pier commercial operating permit together with M/V Moana Lu’u, a USCG-inspected passenger vessel carrying 11 passengers and 2 crew. Permitted activities include scuba, snorkeling, whale watching, and manta viewing on the west side of Hawaiʻi Island — all operating from Kailua towns main hub, steps from the village’s hotels, cruise ship tenders, restaurants and walk-up foot traffic.

M/V Moana Lu’u is a 29’ 2002 Force Marine 11 passenger COI Passenger Vessel powered by twin 2017 Yamaha 150 HP outboards. She’s laid out for easy passenger operations: hardtop shade over the helm and forward seating, full-length bench seating with built-in storage, a walk-through transom with integrated swim platform, and a deep-reaching aluminum boarding ladder for easy in-water egress. The Kona Coast offers the smoothest, most reliable operational days in the Islands and the Kailua Pier offers a central hub to the best snorkeling in Hawaii.

For a new owner, this is a low-priced entry into Kona commercial passenger operations and a value at a purchase price to seat ratio of $26k — a right-sized package for an owner-operator stepping into the charter business, or an existing operator adding a pier-based departure point in the center of town.

Whether you’re looking to start your Hawaiʻi charter story, expand an existing operation, or secure a permitted Kailua Pier presence, this offering delivers on location, assets, and opportunity.

Structured as a purchase of the permit-holding company, with vessel and related equipment conveying.
