HULA GIRL UPDATE

Hula Girl has now completed the dry dock in Honolulu and will be moving forward with a wet dock for cosmetic renovation. Due to the extent of the damage and the full rebuild to the hulls, in addition to the replacement of all the machinery, the USCG will be requiring the vessel to undergo a complete recertification which will take an undetermined length of time to pass. Therefore until further notice the return-to-service date remains undetermined due to the timeline being in the USCG inspection processes, which is outside our control.

We will keep you posted on the official reopening date as soon as we are given clearance by the USCG to return to normal operations. Be on the look out for a Constant Contact newsletter and Social Media with updates and information.

Upgrade Alternative: Private Charter or Semi-Private on Our Sister Vessel, Shangri La Captain Peter & Inca will be onboard and continuing to operate the beautiful Shangri La. This is typically an extremely high-priced, fully private experience, however in the interim while we await the USCG recertification of the Hula Girl, we are pleased to extend a non-public preferred rate of $394.49 (includes all taxes & fees, refreshments, open bar and meals), this is a rare opportunity to experience this amazing yacht. Please contact us at sailingmaui@yahoo.com to explore a full private charter for your family or a semi private rate in combination with other Hula Girl fans! Shangri-La charters include refreshments and open bar (no blended drinks), Set Menus prepared by the Hula Girl Executive Chef Sergio Nunez and snorkeling equipment. Our new dive instructor Hanna Fredrickson will be onboard to provide the Scuba Upgrade for guests interested in upgrading to scuba diving (please note advance reservations and guests height, weight, sex and level of experience will be mandatory for the diving upgrade - limit of 6 divers per snorkeling excursion)
