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. 🌊 ⛵️ ☀️ 🌈 ⛰ 🐬 🐋

Everyone had a great time on the Kepoikai ll Catamaran..We had a sea farewell for my sweetie. it was a nice day as well as a sad day to say aloha to the love of my life, My partner for life and my best friend. The captain of the sea was amazing and very helpful and patient. I will forever cherish every moment I had on the Catamaran. Thank you Captain of the Sea and his wonderful crews

Captain and his crew of 2 were awesome…. They maneuvered the crowded waters leaving the beach smoothly… no host bar was perfect and hoisting the main sail and jib was a blast taking advantage of the ~10 kt winds….

This was my son’s and my first time out on a boat, and we had an amazing experience! All three gentlemen were so sweet, welcoming, and informative, which made the experience even better. The ride was very reasonably priced and absolutely worth every penny. We truly enjoyed ourselves, and when we come back to visit, we will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend! 😊

We had an amazing time with the catamaran crew on Kepoikai II. The views from the water were breathtaking, and the crew made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. My husband usually gets seasick, but he didn't have any issues at all, which made this experience even more enjoyable for both of us! This was a highlight of our time in Hawaii. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the islands!
