Eco StatementBlue Sea Cruises Inc ecology statement Blue Sea Cruises, Inc. is at the forefront of Green Tourism in Hawaiian waters. We provide Eco friendly tours based on the belief that touring nature should have as little impact on the environment as possible. Our commitment to the environment is carried through from our Eco friendly designed vessels to our belief that the marine environment and its creatures should be respected and preserved for future generations. In addition to following all laws and recommend guidelines published by the State and Federal Government, our experienced Captains follow specific company guidelines that offer little to no impact on the environment and its creatures. Blue Sea Cruises does not provide tours that have been determined to be detrimental to marine animals. Activities such as “Swimming with wild dolphins” are highly profitable for operators and popular with those visitors who do not know the adverse effects that this activity has on the resting animals. (We encourage our guests to visit the NOAA web site on Hawaiian spinner dolphins for additional information) Blue Sea Cruises is the only commercial vessel operation on the Kona Coast that uses Bio Diesel in its vessels. We are also the only company in Kona that does not dump its human waste overboard. Waste from our rest rooms is held in an onboard holding tank until it can be pumped into the on shore sewage system for treatment. Our vessels are designed to have as little impact on the ocean as possible. Blue Sea Cruises Inc. History Blue Sea Cruises, Inc. was formed in 2004 with the idea of filling the niche for a truly Eco sight seeing tour. Our first vessel, the 46-foot power catamaran Makai, was purchased in early 2004 then totally renovated in dry dock over a 4-month period. The newest generation, clean burning computerized engines were installed along with all new control and electrical systems. The Makai began service in the summer of 2004 introducing a totally new concept in viewing marine life on the Kona Coast. The Makai offered the opportunity for people of all ages and most physical conditions to be able to view marine life from a comfortable platform. Its mission was simple, cruise the coastline and locate marine mammals and other sea life for our guests to enjoy and experience in an eco friendly and comfortable environment. Once the marine life was located, passengers were able to view them for extended periods from the Makai’s open walk around decks. On the return trips, the Makai offered a hula show that was to become Blue Sea Cruises signature live entertainment on our tours. The departure from the norm on our marine tours was an immediate success. Popular with people of all ages and physical abilities, it was quickly adopted by the cruise ship industry, travel and activity . The popularity of these tours led to the custom design and eventual construction of the Spirit of Kona. With the arrival of the Spirit of Kona in July 2007, Blue Sea Cruises modified its daytime tours to include glass bottom viewing. We also introduced our popular “Evening On The Reef “ Sunset Dinner Cruise. This unique tour combined the best of service, food and beverages with the famous Kona sunsets and added the opportunity to view nocturnal sea life through its large illuminated glass bottom wells. The majority of the trips produce exciting views of the famous Kona Manta Rays. Innovative and ecology based thinking has made Blue Sea Cruises Inc. one of the fastest growing marine tour and service companies in Hawaii. As technology and our understanding of the marine environment grows, Blue Sea Cruises, Inc. will continue to grow and modify its operation to fulfill its belief that the marine environment needs to be preserved for all future generations.
