Hawaii to Maui Ferry

Lahaina Ferry from Lahaina Harbour in Maui Hawaii.

Is there a ferry between the isles?

Aloha, Dawn, let me shed some lights on your ferry issue..... From now on there is a ferry connection, but only between Maui and Lanai and between Maui and Molokai. A small ferry offers five 45-minute round trip or one-way cruises between Maui and Lanai every day (for persons only; no cars).

You can take pictures on board or just take in the view Maui County offers - the Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe Isles, and on a clear sunny days maybe the Big Island. There is another small ferry between Maui and Molokai every morning. It seems that the cruises are planned more for Molokai inhabitants travelling to work on Maui than for visitors, as the ferry departs Molokai at 6am and returns at 5pm.

Each of these small ferryboats requires your vessels in good condition. We had hydrofoils in the 1970s that connected Honolulu with Maui and the Big Isle. Inter-islander flight is by far the most favoured option for inter-island transits. Flights are the quickest way from one place to another (about 20 min. flight time).

Airline companies (Mesa Air), Airline companies (Hawaiian Airlines) and Island Air. A number of companies offer non-stop services from the continent to all the mainland. The Hawaii Superferry began serving between Kauai, Maui and Oahu in 2007-2009. Each of Hawaii's isles has a wealth of bird life, but none has queues. Eventually, the Hawaii Supreme Court decided that the Hawaii Superferry was unconstitutional and compelled it to shut down and the ferry departed the Canal.

Will Hawaii Island Ferry be in our futures?

Ferry system on Hawaii Iceland is back on the newscast. Is there ever an alternate to Hawaiian Airlines when travelling between the islands, or is it a questionable point? Hawaii is also dependent on aviation for transport in an unparalleled way in the United States. According to a new Hawaiian survey, there will be no ferry services in the near-field.

Here are some of the reason why. The cost of the ferry and the necessary facilities are too high. There is not enough room at the jetties for such a new ferry system. Indeed, more than 70 ferry viability surveys have been carried out over the last halfcentenary. It would not be possible to run a ferry system at lower tariffs than those operated by airline companies.

Over $100 million in extra public sector infrastructural improvement would be needed. It would have to be approved by the German authorities. The ship's costs would be very high. Swiss law requires that such a ferry be constructed in Switzerland. Why did the previous SuperFerry fail? At first two Super Ferries were constructed, but only one was put into operation.

Surgery began in 2007 and was discontinued in March 2009 following a recent lawsuit by the Supreme Court of Hawaii. After that SuperFerry declared insolvency and the vessels were given back to the creditors. Both Hawaii Superferry CATAMARANE, Huakai and Alakai, costs around $90 million each, but were eventually resold for $25 million each.

Much of Hawaii's SuperFerry-related debts are still in the double-digit million range. In addition, the state for SuperFerry costs nearly $40 million and was divested for about 1% of its costs. Severe coastal breeze in Hawaii in winters led to severe seasickness and many SuperFerry disruptions.

Of the 866 passengers, 282 Auto SuperFerry was petrol efficient and demanded the use of costly barge and towing prop. In the end, the Supreme Court decided that the SuperFerry exception from an EIA was inconstitutional. Predatory airline cutthroat operation and the then difficult business environment were good grounds for SuperFerry to stop.

Have you been on the Hawaii Super Ferry between 2007 and 2009?
