HOKULANI Yacht Charter

First, the core cheat code: HOKULANI is a 46m Palmer Johnson built for speed and shallow-water access – a planing aluminium rocket that still sleeps up to 10 guests in five cabins and doesn’t panic at 20 knots. If you want to move fast, anchor close in, and still have a proper superyacht experience, this is the point where you stop scrolling.

Owner’s setup is not standard issue. The master is a duplex-style suite spread over two levels, with its own private media room instead of yet another generic cabin. Add two doubles, two twins and Pullmans and you can run family + friends, couples, or work trips without anyone getting the short straw on space or privacy.

Outside is where HOKULANI really makes sense. Huge sunpads, proper alfresco dining and a hydraulic swim platform that doubles as a watersports launch pad. She’s shallow-draft (about 1.9m), so you get closer to the coves and beaches the slower boats are just looking at on AIS.

Toy package = zero boredom. Jet ski, Seabobs, wakeboard, waterskis, paddleboards, towables, inflatables, snorkelling kit and a high‑spec Castoldi / Novurania tender for quick, dry runs to shore. Translation: this is not a “look at the sea from the sofa” charter – it’s built for people who actually want to be in the water.

Why charter HOKULANI instead of another 45–50m: iconic Nuvolari Lenard styling, fast planing hull, real range (around 2,500nm), modern refits, and a layout that prioritises outdoor living and an over‑specced owner’s domain. If your brief is: “cover distance quickly, anchor shallow, play hard, and still sleep like a grown-up,” HOKULANI ticks the boxes with minimal drama.
