PCK Nautical

I was blessed by the hospitable crew and atmosphere when I boarded Hondo operated by PCK Nautical. The occasion was for my husband's sea burial ceremony. We brought the ash in a water-soluble box provided by the crematory in Houston Texas. The crew prepared flower petals in a ceremonial bowl. The ceremony took place in the rear deck.First, the family cited a verse from the bible. After that, the captain read a poem for the occasion. Then, the rest of the family gave words of comfort. Finally, the father carried the box by the edge of the boat to release it into the water followed by the pretty flower petals. The whole ceremony took about 10 minutes.Part of this excursion was to sit on the deck to enjoy the scenery with some pupus on charcuterie board, champagne and ice cream. I was not prepared to consume anything because of the motions onboard.In this short hour-and-half tour, I saw Waikiki from the ocean as I had never seen before. Even when we lived in Waikiki for 6 years. His final wish was to ask his ashes to be scattered in the ocean near where we used to hang out. I was grateful that PCK Nautical offers sea burial service. I would want to come back to book other boat tours of 6 guest in the future.

Captain Pete, crew members, Monica and Kepa were amazing, friendly, compassionate, and informative. My sister and I booked the Hondo for a sunset sea burial. The eco urn was beautiful and Kepa played some peaceful music during the trip. It was a beautiful and emotional afternoon ending with a sunset, yummy snacks, and a brief view of a quick spotting of a whale (or a dolphin, lol). Also Min was so amazing and communicative throughout the booking process. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience.

Private charter with 6 friends took us on a fabulous sunset cruise along the Waikiki shoreline. First of all Parking was super convenient at the Ala Moana end of Kewalo basin. It was inexpensive and an easy machine was available taking cash or credit card. As soon as we got onboard we met the crew: Captain Pete, his wife Min and daughter Monkia. There were so hospitable and gracious! We got a tour of the spacious and well maintained yacht and was impressed with quality and workmanship onboard and also the cleanliness. The sitting area, kitchen, dining areas, sleeping quarters and restrooms were immaculate. Although refreshments and snacks were included, we brought our own wine and pupus to add to the occasion. I would suggest that if want to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. They supplies glasses and everything else you need.It was a perfect late afternoon for a cruise as the water was crystal clear and smooth. The ride was very comfortable and you can move around to the front to enjoy the views, go upstairs to sit and relax or even go into the bridge to visit with Capt Pete steering. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend treating a group for a special occasion or splitting the bill for a nice evening out with friends. They also offer day trips with an opportunity to jump in the ocean and do some swimming!

Highly recommend! Captain Pete and his crew (wife and daughter) took us on a gorgeous sunset cruise around Diamond Head and Waikiki. Pete and his family were highly experienced, very friendly and accommodating, and even let us take a dip in the crystal clear water. (They had snorkels on board for our enjoyment.) The yacht has a bathroom on board, and you can hang out in front, back, or on top. Great for couples, families, or anyone who wants to get unbeatable views of Oahu without the crowds.

We charted their boat Hondo for a Celebration of Life Ash scattering. I first worked with Min to setup our day. She was fantastic from beginning to end. The Crew Captain Pete and Kurt were amazing. Their professionalism and kindness really helped us to have a healing closure.

Booked with PCK NAUTICAL for a 6pm Waikiki Sunset Cruise BYOD and was here at boat dock Pier B-4 as instructed. There's a boat called HONDO in spot B-4 but nobody and no boat for the cruise. We were advised this company is a Scam because they sold their boat but still taking online reservations. They are scamming TOURIST.

Best time on a boat!! The boat is clean and luxurious. The captain and crew are kind and fun. I went on the boat for after wedding cruise with just my families and guess who came to bless us?! Dolphins!!!! It was beautiful and unforgettableI highly recommend PCK Nautical if you're looking to create a special experience on the water!.

Gilligan never had it so good - even with Mary Ann and Ginger!The cruise aboard HONDO was a perfect day of fun and relaxation under the careful guidance of Capt. Pete and his skillful deckhand Monica. The trip along the south shore of Oahu just off Waikiki was replete with a humpback whale sighting, frolicking dolphins and even the occasional flying-fish.Despite the fact that the trade winds were strong Capt. Pete expertly kept the yacht in the lee of Diamond Head to minimize the waves and wind. That made for ideal swimming conditions when we anchored off the reef in sight of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel - the famed Pink Palace. The water was so clear that you could see the sea floor 30 feet down and watch the reef fish darting around the coral heads.Perfect day for adults and kids!

Captain Pete and his daughter Monica were amazing!  The other crew members were just as friendly.  We felt so welcomed and appreciated the wealth of knowledge he relayed to our group of five - most of whom had not been on a boat before.  When we arrived at the dock the first thing I noticed is how big a 60 ft yacht is!  I also noticed that the yacht was really well maintained and clean.   The other boats on the dock were not half as clean as the HONDO.  I knew we would be safe and comfortable  by how well maintained the yacht was..At first, given our morning trip had overcast skies and we headed out towards Diamond Head.  But, when we got out on the water and the sky cleared and what a beautiful day! ,To see Oahu from off shore was amazing,  beautiful with the green mountains in the background.Capt Pete advised that the overcast and calm waters were ideal conditions to go out (no sun glare to interfere with finding our aquatic friends).A few miles off of Diamond Head and traveling down the coast, we were lucky to find and watch a pod of dolphins in the area.We were really lucky that the dolphins were in a playful state and it was great to see them come up in formation one after the other chasing our wake!  Our kids were thrilled!Our last stop was to do some swimming and a really beautiful swim spot where we saw turtles and colorful fish! After our swim we were treated so a light lunch which was perfect!We had an awesome time and highly recommend using this company! The small group max capacity allowed us to have a very personal tour and everyone could see everything while still being comfortable.I highly recommend PCK Nautical,  the price was so reasonable for a private cruise, the boat was huge and clean, the crew were so friendly that we all felt like family.  We will be booking again for a sunset cruise!Thanks, Pete and Monica!!!

I recently booked with PCK Nautical for a surprise for my girlfriend. She loves Hawaii and the water especially so booking the charter was the perfect way to enjoy both! The family that runs the company were so nice and friendly they really made our trip worthwhile.
