Luxury Kona private charters aboard Callisto.
Callisto
Callisto is our 32 ft center console designed for speed, safety, comfort, and an incredibly smooth ride. Her name comes from a killer whale in the pacific northwest (T65A6), who was named after the hunting partner of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. Equipped with twin 300 Mercurys, Callisto is perfect for exploring inshore reefs or pushing offshore into the deep. This luxury 6-person vessel has a restroom, padded seating, full walk-around, 360 degree viewing, and a built-in cooler for complimentary beverages. With plenty of waterproof storage, there’s room for guests and their extra gear onboard.
Riding on Callisto feels like exploring Hawaii with friends (if your friends were top-tier pelagic guides and expert boat captains). Great for the global traveler or family adventure, our tours provide a truly personalized experience. Explore Kona’s coast in comfort and style on a boat that’s youthful and fun, just like orca whale T65A6.
Perfect for up to six guests
Callisto is tailored for small groups of up to 6 guests. Expect a private, luxury, and personalized ride. With an open-style vessel, guests can enjoy 360-degree viewing, unobstructed vistas, and a spacious experience. Skip the crowds and cruise the Kona Coast on Callisto.
