Owners were great and made everything easy from booking to helpful tips for parking to drinks on board. We had a great morning out on the ocean, snorkeling and saw some cool creatures. Would definitely recommend Gung Ho for small sailing outings with your family!

Amazing experience. The captain and Ali were very attentive and helpful. Loved the snorkeling. I highly recommend Gung-ho sailing if you want to avoid the large snorkeling tours.

Ali and K’Ahi gave us an absolutely unforgettable sailing experience in Maui. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely taken care of. Their knowledge of the area, the ocean, and marine life added so much depth to the trip—it felt like more than just a sail, it was a true experience.The boat itself was beautiful and well-kept, and every detail of the day felt thoughtful and seamless. Ali and K’Ahi struck the perfect balance of being attentive while also giving us space to soak it all in. We had incredible views, great conversation, and just the right mix of adventure and relaxation.What really stood out was their genuine passion for what they do. You can tell they love sharing Maui from the water, and that energy made the entire trip even more special.If you’re looking for a sailing experience in Maui, this is it. We would book with them again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend! We went as a family of five with younger children and it was so much better than one of the group tours if you can do it. Our Captain/Guides were so nice and it was great to be able to hear about their experiences in Hawaii, with sailing and just life. Very relaxing cruise, beautiful sights and while you aren’t guaranteed on the wildlife front, we were lucky to see whales and tons of fish/coral. No turtles this time but the tour the day before did - luck of the draw!

We went on their sunset sail yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic. The experience was peaceful, low key, fun, and adventurous all at the same time. It was refreshingly "no frills" in the best way... simple, authentic, and allowed us to slow down and focus on what really matters (being present and in the moment together). The views were majestic, and our hosts, Ali and Keahi, were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the trip. We brought our 6 year old and 11 year old, and they were so accommodating and thoughtful with our family. We were able to go snorkeling and they provided all the gear, which made it effortless. We saw a sea turtle, got to hold sea creatures, and had so much fun in the water. It was a special experience for our family. What stood out most was the chance to really slow down and just take it all in - the ocean, the sunset, the beauty, and the simplicity of being out on the water. This experience will become a core memory for our family that stays with us forever.
