Yacht & Ship Agent — Maui
Maui pairs a commercial deep-draft port at Kahului with west-side yacht calls at Lāhainā and support harbors at Māʻalaea. HYANS coordinates clearance, berthing and every vendor behind your Maui call.
Where HYANS supports you on Maui.
Maui's harbors are split by geography — the commercial port sits on the windward north shore at Kahului, while yacht and small-craft activity concentrates on the leeward west and south coasts at Lāhainā and Māʻalaea.
Maui's principal commercial deep-draft port, on the north shore, handling cargo, tankers, cruise and larger vessels. Customs and clearance for arriving vessels are handled here. HYANS coordinates the arrival window, clearance appointments, berth requests, pilots and line handling.

A central-Maui small-boat harbor on the isthmus shore between the island's two mountain masses, serving smaller craft and support operations. HYANS coordinates dockside logistics, vendor access and support-vessel movements where Māʻalaea suits the call.
