CASE STUDY

Liam and Manu Powers
Owners Sea Quest Hawaii,
Kona, HI
Sea Quest Hawaii

PROJECT OBJECTIVE We have been building boats for SQ Hawaii since the early 90’s. And we are now on the third company owner while continuing to support their growth and changing needs. The design objective and challenge has always been to produce a small boat that can enhance a safe but fun experience for their clients. We accomplish this while meeting the latest USCG inspected boat regulations.

SOLUTION: Meeting this challenge started with our first Inspected 20 foot boat carrying 18 passengers – a huge upgrade from a rubber boat off the beach! This initial little boat carried the company forward to our current K-Class models that carry 33 passengers on a 30 foot boat. Decades and so much fun later!Be sure to check them out yourself at seaquesthawaii.com

We build custom boats that take people to destinations most boats can’t get to. Contact us and let’s talk about how we can get you where you want to go.
