Your Private Charter: Your Day, Your Ocean

This is your day, unbound. A blank canvas on the Kona coast.

Dream of exploring remote sea caves in the morning, finding a secluded bay to snorkel with turtles in the afternoon, or celebrating a special occasion with a sunset toast. You can combine any of our experiences or create something entirely new.

Some experiences are better when they're just yours.

A private charter with Aquatic Life Divers puts one of our custom Armstrong catamarans entirely at your disposal — your crew, your schedule, your itinerary, and Kona's extraordinary ocean all to yourself. No strangers. No fixed tour schedule. Just your group, an expert local crew, and 40+ pristine reefs and dive sites within a short cruise of Honokōhau Marina.

Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, planning a family adventure, diving with friends, or just want the flexibility and personal attention that a shared charter simply can't offer, this is how you experience Kona at its finest.

Choose any of our signature experiences — the morning reef dive, the twilight manta charter, the black water expedition, and more — or work directly with our team to build something completely custom. Want to anchor in a secluded cove for snorkeling? Done. Looking to reach the hidden beaches of Makalawena? We'll take you there. Want a private chef and champagne as the sun goes down? We can arrange that too.

Everything you need is included. Full dive and snorkel gear for your entire group, freshly brewed HiCO Hawaiian Coffee, snacks and beverages, and a dedicated USCG-licensed Captain and expert Divemaster/Snorkel Guide — all part of the charter rate.
