American Safari Yacht Cruises - The Ultimate Authentic Hawaiian Experience

American Safari Cruises (also known as InnerSea Discovery) will become the first cruise line to offer unstructured inter-island yacht cruising in Hawaii beginning October 2011.

The highly anticipated inter-island trips include the islands of Moloka’i, Lana’i, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. The cruises will be a passage rich with wildlife, a secluded sandy beach or a quiet cove where guests explore their surroundings on the shore or in the water.

The company’s signature cruising style is built on flexibility, which allows the yachts to follow whales and dolphins or dodge unpleasant weather. “We’ve built our reputation on spontaneity,” says Captain Dan Blanchard, who has explored the islands extensively by private boat. “Our style makes it possible to explore Hawaii without having to be at a specific port at a specific time. We can gunkhole, stop in out-of-the-way bays and coves, and be ready for whatever experiences may come along.”

In Hawaii, guests will see and experience the islands from a different perspective than at a high-end resort. “Hawaii will never be closer,” says Tim Jacox, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This will be a new way to see the islands, places you can only explore by boat. We’ll meet the locals and learn from them. Our goal is to establish new traditions in cruising while respecting the age-old traditions of Hawaii.

No other expedition-style vessels cruise in Hawaii because they either carry too many passengers which keeps them out of some of the islands or they must keep to strictly-timed port calls. The small guest contingent has little impact on the islands, and the Safari Explorer’s all-American crew includes Hawaii residents, especially Captains and Naturalists who have personal knowledge of the area.
