"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."

— Jacques Cousteau

The Experience

How We Honor Them

Three ways to hold this moment.

tier 1

The Passage

The entire vessel is reserved exclusively for your party, ensuring an intimate atmosphere for mourning and celebration of life.

tier 2

The Ceremony

Everything in The Passage, with the addition of a live musician or a Hawaiian Kahuna to bless the journey. For those who want the moment held by something larger than silence.

tier 3

The Celebration of Life

A full send-off. Live music or a Kahuna, food and refreshments aboard, and all the time you need on the water. Because some lives deserve a feast.

Add-ons and special touches

All ceremony upgrades, food service, and specialty items are bookable as extras through Fair Harbor when you reserve.

If you have something specific in mind, reach out and we will do our best to make it happen.

The Experience

A Full Celebration of Life

Everything the moment deserves.

Charter the Hoku Kai exclusively for your family. We navigate to open water, hold space for your ceremony, and return when you are ready. Live music or a Hawaiian Kahuna blessing can be arranged, along with food and refreshments aboard.

Handmade paper-mache turtles and other meaningful keepsakes are available to release at sea. All add-ons are bookable through Fair Harbor at the time of reservation.

Ashes are brought to us already prepared. We do not handle cremation.
