Aloha and Welcome to Wake Maui!
We’re Stoked you found us! Vacationing on Maui and looking to avoid the crowds? Look no further. On our private charters, we bring out only you and the friends and family you bring! (6 passenger Max)
In the warm friendly waters surrounding Maui, we are blessed to have some of the most amazing wildlife views and sunshine – and we want to share it with you! Since 2008, our private ocean excursions have elevated Maui visits for everyone, from honeymooners to the whole family. Whether you’re a wakesurfing pro, snorkeler, or just looking to relax on our brand new MB B52 23 Alpha or Ski Supreme V232 with Captain Ryan, we’re sure to be a highlight of your time on island!
With so many Maui vacation activities out there, it can be hard to pick Maui’s best activities for your vacation. Wake Maui has earned its reputation as one of the very best activities in Ka’anapali and Maui as a whole, so the choice is easy.
As far as Maui Charter boats go, Wake Maui is unique. We have combined the thrill of wakesurfing, tubing, and snorkeling with the comfort of a private charter! Best part?! We do it all for about the same price as the other guys!

Captain Ryan was fantastic, outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable. He made the day so enjoyable.
The whales were beautiful and the experience so memorable. All four of us were able to get up and wakesurf. Finally we were able to swim along with the turtles while snorkeling. He explained the guidelines to us, to ensure we knew and followed them before entering the water.
Four hours was a great amount of time, but obviously left us wanting more. read less Kendra F.3/16/2022 - Booking a half day trip with Wake Maui was the highlight of our trip!!!

Captain Ryan and his team are amazing! Even before our trip, Captain Ryan called us to tell us about weather conditions and ask if we wanted to reschedule. We could not, and the water was a bit rough for us to wake board the whole time, but we still had a blast!!!
We got lucky and saw several humpback whales right at the beginning of our trip. Captain gave us a little history and science background and allowed us to enjoy their beauty for as long as we wanted to.
Then we snorkeled and he told us where the best spots were. And he gave us a little history lesson on the places, boats, and things we were seeing. He was amazing and made our trip an excellent one!!!
Easy to book, great communication, on time, and very profesional, not to mention the boat was gorgeous and it made waves!!!! We will definitely be booking with him again next time we come!! read less Eva E.3/02/2022Amazing Day....Wake Maui!!!! WOW!!! Thanks Ryan for a perfect day!

The new MB boat had a money wake for wake surfing and plenty of room our party of 6. Since it is the open ocean, the wakeboarding was a bit bumpy but definitely worth giving it a whirl. Our captain, Ryan was super funny and willing to teach not only the sports but a lot about the surrounding area. On the way back to our pickup location, we got surrounded by a group of dolphins! Ryan taught us all about the appropriate ways to be respectful to the wildlife and the kids were loving it.
