Captain Austin Wyke
Captain Austin grew up in the Hawaiian waters of Maui surfing and diving. He is an experienced waterman and Waikiki boat captain. He’s been working on boats and in the water in Waikiki for the past 10 years. He started with board rentals and surf lessons and then eventually found himself working on the beach catamarans and loved it so much that he pursued his commercial captains license. When he’s not working, he loves to surf and ride or work on motorcycles. He also works with a non-profit organization called “surf-healing” where they take kids with disabilities surfing.
Waterman Kevin Kellar
Kevin Kellar was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma. He made his way to Hawaii in 2012 and has been working and playing in and on the water pretty much since he arrived. He loves to surf, sail, freedive and as he says, what can I say, the ocean is FUN! When Kevin’s not leading snorkel tours, sailing on a catamaran or playing in the water, stay on the lookout as he’s been known to show up as a stand up comic at several venues around Honolulu. He’s also been hard at work picking up Japanese as he was inspired by his recent travels to Japan.
Waterman Taemin Kim
Taemin was born and raised in Florida. He made his way to Hawaii about 10 years ago after spending a couple of years traveling through Asia. That extended trip completely changed his perspective and priorities in life and led him to Hawaii. He got into boats through his love of freediving and says it’s the best thing he has ever done. Not only is Taemin a talented waterman, he also runs his own digital media business and speaks Spanish and Korean fluently.
Waterman Masa Moromisato
Masa was born in Peru, moved to Japan when he was 5 and arrived to Hawaii in 2010 for school. While in school, he was looking for a job where he could put his language skills to work and started working on one of the Waikiki tour catamarans. He’s been working on boats ever since. Masa loves freediving, sailing, surfing, fishing, really anything that gets him in the water. He is currently looking to buy his own boat and we hope he is successful. Masa speaks Spanish and Japanese fluently.
Captain Flynn Scully
Flynn was born and raised in Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Growing up as the child of a commercial fisherman, Flynn has had a lot of exposure to boats and the local waters around Hawai’i. The first time he went sailing was on O’ahu. He will never forget feeling the engines turn off and the peaceful sensation of being propelled by the wind. He knew then that he had found his calling. When Flynn isn’t working, he spends his time surfing, fishing, free diving, hiking and going back to Kona to visit his family. Fun facts, Flynn is a twin and he speaks Hawaiian pidgin fluently.
