WOW! I had been following Trilogy on social media for ages, and had planned and booked a snorkel trip with them many months in advance, but I was extremely impressed by they way they helped their community after the Lahaina fire (especially too since so many members of their crew were personally affected and even lost their homes as well). It made me even more grateful to spend time with these wonderful people on our sailing (and made sure to tip them all at the end!).
We were booked on a Discover Molokini sail, and it was truly everything I hoped it would be. The boat itself was lovely. I really appreciated the seating with tables and cup holders. I have been on many catamarans where you just have to eat on your lap or on any other available surface. These boats are custom designed and it shows. They're also eco-friendly!
We sailed on the Trilogy II with Captain Siera, Emma, Stephen, and one other crew member whose name slips me at the moment (sorry!). They were all extremely professional, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and so on. All the good adjectives LOL.
The food and drinks were lovely, from the cinnamon buns all the way to the chicken and Mai Tais. Thumbs up all around.
I was extremely on the fence about whether or not I wanted to upgrade to the Snuba option at Molokini. It's an extra $85, and I was just apprehensive about the experience and being so far underwater (up to 20 feet below). Stephen was the Snuba instructor on my sailing and he really set my mind at ease. In all honesty, even during the experience I felt quite a bit of anxiety (that's just my neuroses) BUT I am so glad I did it and it was really an incredible (though nerve-wracking to me!) experience.
Additionally, there is a third-party on board who takes photos you can buy. You can individually purchase pics, but it's a better deal to buy the package, which includes all your photos plus extra ones taken on the boat, in the water, etc. It was $75 plus taxes and fees, but if you do the Snuba upgrade you save 15% (note that this was the price when I went and I'm sure this could change at any time). For me this was absolutely worth it and a great way to capture memories! Also, our photographer Lila (from Island Dream Productions) was super warm, friendly and also helped set my mind at ease over my Snuba anxiety. Thanks, Lila!
I couldn't recommend Trilogy enough. If there is one excursion or activity you do on a trip to Maui, I highly HIGHLY recommend considering Trilogy for your sailing needs whether it's a snorkeling excursion or one of the other sailings they offer. I will definitely book with them (and only them) on future trips to Maui.
