About
Hop aboard Callisto, the quick and agile center-console, to be the first boat out of the marina for an exclusive private charter for up to 6 guests. It pays to get up early, as the morning hours present some of the best sightings all day!
Callisto’s namesake originates from Greek mythology. Artemis, our largest vessel, shares her name with the Greek goddess of the hunt and wild animals. Artemis the goddess required help on her hunting quests from other mythological figures. Her smallest hunting assistant was a nymph named Callisto, who’s small size allowed her to be agile and quick. Callisto is the fast flying needle to our larger vessel Artemis. With Callisto’s athletic nature, we spend less time traveling and more time visiting with magnificent creatures below the surface. This vessel's small size allows for quick readjustments and coordinated wildlife encounters. Callisto allows you and your party the most fine tuned, immersive, and intimate experience possible.
What to Bring:
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Light layers
- A camera
Important Note:
Tours can take 1-6 guests at a time. All whale watching tours on Callisto are private charters.

## Prepare For Your Tour
### Onboard Storage
Pack light! Due to the high-speed nature of this tour, small wearable bags are allowed onboard. Any bag that can not be worn is not recommended.
### Sun Protection
Get ready for fun in the Hawaiian sun! With Apollo’s open style, make sure you are prepared with your preferred sun protection (hats, sunglasses, sun shirts). The best time to apply sunscreen is either before getting to the marina or before boarding the vessel. Spray-on sunscreen is not allowed onboard.
### Motion To The Ocean
For our whale watching tours, we often head into open water. If you’re prone to motion sickness, please take motion sickness medication the morning of your tour before arriving to the marina.
