Six service areas, in their real geographic order.
Northwest to southeast: Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi Island. Harbor status and suitability are confirmed for each request.
Commercial harbors on Kauaʻi's southeast and south coasts, respectively. Current berth and operating status must be confirmed.
Honolulu and Kalaeloa are commercial harbors; Kewalo Basin and Ala Wai serve working and small-craft activity. Suitability depends on vessel and authority confirmation.
Kaunakakai Harbor is on Molokaʻi's south coast. Facilities are limited and every call requires advance confirmation.
Kaumalapau is the west-coast commercial harbor; Mānele Small Boat Harbor is on the south coast. Both are limited-facility calls.
Kahului is Maui's commercial harbor; Māʻalaea is a small-boat harbor. Lāhainā Small Boat Harbor remains in recovery with only limited commercial ocean operations authorized; confirm current status.
Hilo and Kawaihae are commercial harbors. Kailua-Kona is a small-craft, pier, mooring, and roadstead context rather than a deep-draft commercial harbor.
