Navatek Sea Blade Sled RIB

Hoku Kai has been a popular 6-pack charter boat along the Kona Coast for many years. Her distinctive looks and proud bow are easily recognizable. She has been providing adventure tours to view whales, dolphins, and other local marine life, plus allowing for snorkeling and sightseeing activities, all with great reviews by her guests.

This Navatek Sled is a specially modified Deep-V RIB with rising sheer-line, flared bow, double transverse hull steps, with hard chines and lifting strakes. The patented Sea Blade hull is scientifically proven to decrease hull slamming forces in rough water by up to 40% over conventional deep-sea planning hulls. The Sea Blade hull is a re-engineered deep-vee – a deeper, stepped hull that better penetrates the waves and reduces stress on passengers.
