Tricia Clement
The Admiral
From the time she was a baby, First Mate Tricia loved playing in lakes and rivers in her home state of Montana, but when she got her first dose of Vitamin Sea at 19, she was pretty nervous about being in the ocean. In fact, the first time she snorkeled she bit her mouthpiece off! Now the ocean is her second home, but she recalls memories of those early days when she’s helping first time snorkelers get comfortable in the water so they can relax and enjoy exploring the wonders beneath the surface.
Jennifer
Captain
From San Diego originally; Jennifer found her love for Maui's ocean back in 2015 when she moved to Maui with her family and worked her way up from a crew. She is passionate about the water and educating guests about the ocean’s endless wonders. Jennifer is an accomplished SCUBA dive instructor and has been a U.S. Coast Guard Captain for 7 years. With her everlasting smile and joy, she is certain to make your day the Best Day Every with Maui Snorkel Charters.
Brittany Thompson
Our daughter Brittany came to Maui 3 years ago to get married and after falling in love with the beauty of Maui, she and her husband decided to stay! Prior to moving to Maui, Brittany enjoyed wake boarding and boating on the Puget Sound but life on Maui includes lots of time under the surface of the water. She loves seeing marine life and helping guests have that thrilling experience too. She feels blessed to be a part the family business!
Leila Clement
Our youngest daughter Leila was Maui Snorkel Charters first crew member. She’s an avid traveler but has decided to call Maui home for a while and is more excited than ever to be out on the water with you! Leila inherited her love for the ocean at a young age from her dad, and she feels fortunate to spend her days on the water with her parents and visitors, sharing her passion for the ocean, marine life and adventure!
Mal Aquino
Mal has been living and loving life on Maui for the last six years. When she’s not on a boat, you can find Mal surfing, hiking or diving around the island. What she loves most about the ocean are magical moments like swimming with a manta ray, listening to whales sing underwater, or watching dolphins surf the boat wake. Every day at sea brings a new experience and she loves getting to revel in those special moments with guests.
