The captain
I am Rich Riley, a USCG-licensed captain, and I own and run Honolulu Yacht Management myself.
There is one name on this business and it is mine. I answer the phone, I walk the docks, I write the reports, and when your boat is on stands at the yard, I am the one under the hull. The company does one thing. It keeps boats on Oʻahu ready to use: eyes on the boat every month, salt off the gelcoat, a clean bottom, systems that start, and one honest estimate when something needs a yard.
How I work
Every visit follows the same checklist, bow to stern, and ends with a photo report you get the same day: you see what I saw, the day I saw it. If something is wrong, you hear about it by text before the report lands. The invoice holds no surprises either: plans bill on the 1st, one-time jobs are quoted first.
Where
Ala Wai, Keʻehi, Hawaiʻi Kai and Ko Olina. The Ala Wai is the largest small-boat harbor in the state and my home dock; from there the round covers Keʻehi, Hawaiʻi Kai and Ko Olina on a weekly rhythm. If your boat sits somewhere else on the island, ask — the answer is usually yes.
