October 1, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 6:00 pm

Join us aboard our new power catamaran, Hoku Nai’a, for an extraordinary safari to view the Pacific Airshow.
Take in the amazing sights and sounds of military and civilian aircraft performing jaw-dropping acrobatic feats from the comfort of our catamaran. And you will have one of the best views of the airshow in Huntington Beach from the water, without having to worry about traffic and parking.
The 2022 airshow will be headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds with additional performances by the U.S. Navy F-35C and F-18E/F Flight Demonstration Teams, 4 parachute teams (US Army Golden Knights, UK Army Tigers, US Navy Leap Frogs, and the US Air Force Wings of Blue), Red Bull Air Race world champion Matt Hall, and many more!
This world-class airshow was voted Top 3 Best Air Shows by USA Today in 2021.
A hot lunch of a flame-grilled cheeseburger or veggie burger, potato chips, cookies, and spring water in our eco-friendly, recyclable carton is included in the price of your trip. You also have the option of purchasing assorted dry snacks, water, soda, and beer on board during the cruise. And of course, Mrs. Capt. Dave’s famous triple fudge brownies are served as a special treat!
Whale Watching Bonus: En route to and from the airshow (we depart from Dana Point Harbor) you’ll have the opportunity to view dolphins, whales, and any other marine life we might see along the way. Note: Due to time constraints, we cannot spend an extended amount of time watching animals.
