Catamaran Kepoikai II - Royal Hawaiian Aerial

In 1977, Captain Don Lipton built and launched Catamaran Kepoikai II by hand, creating a symbol of aloha that sails the iconic shores of Waikiki Beach. This isn’t just a catamaran, it’s a vessel that carries generations of stories, memories, and the spirit of ʻohana.

Captain Don’s dream was to share the beauty of Waikiki with everyone, and his legacy lives on with Captain Jay, Captain Biggy, and the rest of the Catamaran Kepoikai II crew, past and present.

As Waikiki’s longest-running catamaran, we honor the history of this beloved boat and the countless journeys it has taken across the crest of the waves. Here’s to all who have sailed with us ⛵️, shared their laughter 😆, and brought their aloha 🤙🏾

Mahalo nui loa to everyone who has been a part of our story — past, present, and future. 🌊 ⛵️ ☀️ 🌈 ⛰ 🐬 🐋

Review from Tripadvisor
My husband and I was celebrating our 10 year anniversary and my birthday ! The catamaran was one of the most amazing experiences. The hospitality was exceptional the drink Mai Tai’s were amazing and the price was very reasonable actually really reasonable. I can’t express how much of an amazing time we had and the guest experience was exceptional. Everyone was very nice and kind!!
Review from Yelp
The one reason i like Kepoikai Catamarran is that it stays lower to the water than the other Cats. They have a bigger net in the front to sit on if you like getting some water splashed on you.
