It may be unsurprising that Oahu has no shortage of boat tours ranging from barefoot catamaran sails to four decked dinner show cruises. Navigating through tour options can be as tricky as navigating the water itself so sometimes the best choice is simply to create your own tour! October’s Pau Hana meeting gave CAH members this opportunity with a customized sunset cruise aboard Captain Bruce’s luxury yacht Serendipity.
Serendipity features on board activities ranging from swimming, snorkeling, stargazing, and even Seabob rentals making it perfect for, well…everyone who likes the water! This 47 foot yacht has 3 decks, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a hot water shower, working kitchen, several lounge areas, and will accommodate up to 12 passengers. Captain Bruce also offers customized charters on their two smaller vessels; the 4 passenger Pearl, and 6 passenger Moana.
Charters on all three boats include snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and those who book Moana or Serendipity will be treated to an additional Chef recommended appetizer. CAH members enjoyed a gorgeous charcuterie and fruit platter on the upper deck featuring a delicious variety of meats, cheeses, and other snacks including a delectable mustard cheese and truffle almonds from Italy.
If you work up an appetite after a day cruising Oahu’s South or West shores, Captain Bruce can provide a Chef’s Choice menu with advance notice for an additional per person cost. We particularly enjoyed our smoked salmon canapes served over cream cheese on miniature pancakes and the gourmet sandwich platter.
For a truly unforgettable experience, Serendipity is happy to hire a personal chef to cook for you on board while you take in the salt air and city skyline. With advance notice all menus may be customized to meet any dietary need or restriction.
While all of the amenities above were fantastic, one of the best parts of booking with Captain Bruce is the crew! Captain Bruce staff are knowledgeable about their vessels and Hawaiian waters, and provide exceedingly friendly and sincere service. CAH is so thankful that they were able to welcome us aboard and wish them lots of luck with their new vessel, the 6 passenger Italian Azimut yacht Coppelia slated to open this month!
