Bob Marlin Charters

10 out of 10 would recommend! We LOVED our snorkeling trip with Bob Marlin Charters and GE. This was hands down our favorite snorkeling trip on Oahu. We visit often and have tried several different excursions in the past, however, this was the BEST by far. SERIOUSLY!

Private, relaxed and low key is exactly what we where looking for. We loved the reef, swimming and local feel to our trip. Do yourself the favor and book with THEM!
* Super clean boat with shaded seating
* knowledgeable friendly captain GE
* Wonderful snorkeling location!

You won’t regret it! Much love from A & F from CA

We had a fantastic time on the Bob Marlin. Both GE and Alexis were knowledgeable about Oahu, its people, and culture. We loved seeing the spinner dolphins and snorkeling. I am a really lousy swimmer so GE was patient and kind as he towed me to the reef. So much fun!

Amazing experience! They’re a locally-owned small charter (max 6 passengers) so you get a really personal experience and deep local knowledge of the North Shore. The half-day custom trip is well worth it! We spent at least an hour tracking dolphins up close—they surfed the bow right under us—and another 1-2 hours snorkeling and free diving the reefs, following sea turtles and a million different fish. We’re rank beginners, and Alexis helped us out with everything we needed—snorkel tips, even mask prep (we brought our own but they also provide). GE grew up here and his personal experience in Hawaiian language, culture, history, and current events is a huge bonus. And of course, he knows the reefs and the shelf, so he gets you right where you want to be. I have to admit that at first, this felt like a big spurge for us (family of four on a budget), but the experience they gave us made it feel like a massive bargain. 100% would go with Bob Marlin again, and now we want to come back for whale season! Thanks again GE and Alexis for a new core memory. 🙏🏼

We went out on a snorkeling excursion in May and it was the best I have ever experienced! The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable about the area and the marine life. My husband and I said we have never seen such a beautiful reef and we had the incredible honor of seeing a pod of dolphins, tropical fish, a family of sea turtles, stingray, and most of all the reef sharks! I will be forever grateful for the perfect day that is forever locked in my memory! We will be back for sure.

Probably one of the most epic experiences of my life!! Kevin and GE where the best! I couldn’t recommend them or this experience more to anyone! So much more of a unique personalized experience than going on the large commercial tours. Also I would highly recommend using their underwater photographer. She took such amazing shots and I’m really glad we were able to capture the moment. All in all I would highly recommend these guys to anyone!
