Whalewatch vessels on Maui range from kayaks to rafts to sailboats to power catamarans. All of these boats are restricted from approaching whales closer than 100 yards. Rather than choose a boat based on promises to get “closer” to the whales, select one that’s stable and comfortable, with unobstructed viewing of whales. Catamarans tend to be more stable and are designed so that everyone on board can enjoy a good view of the whales.
