All board! Grab your lifevest and follow along as our dedicated and talented crew prepare the Kalohi for a combination sail day.

Named after the Kalohi Channel connecting Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i, the 286-foot-long Kalohi was specially designed to serve rural communities and smaller harbors. Its ballast technology adjusts the vessel’s height by taking on or releasing water, helping support safe operations in changing tidal and weather conditions.
