Where HYANS supports calls on Oʻahu.
Oʻahu carries the busiest maritime traffic in the state, from deep-draft commercial ships to visiting yachts. HYANS advises which harbor suits your vessel, draft and itinerary, then coordinates the whole call.
Honolulu Harbor
Oʻahu's principal deep-draft commercial harbor and the state's main port of entry, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarding and formal clearance take place. It is the primary call for superyachts, cruise ships and commercial vessels, with berthing, pilotage and clearance handled through the harbor's authorities.

- Deep-draft berthing for larger vessels
- Pilots, line handling and schedule management
- Fuel, provisioning and vendor coordination
Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor
Oʻahu's main harbor for visiting yachts, on the edge of Waikīkī near downtown Honolulu. It suits owner and charter yachts and support craft, with HYANS coordinating dockside logistics, provisioning, crew movement and vendor access — and clearance at Honolulu Harbor when a foreign-flag arrival requires it.
