Hopefully this will come in handy one day. Starting in July a new Hawaii Superferry catamaran will allow people to island hop without having to board an airplane. Oahu, Kauai, and Maui will be in reach of 866 passengers and 282 cars per trip. Each leg takes about 3 hours and the “Big Island” will be added to the schedule in 2009. In addition to tourism, the local trade is expected to benefit (power outlets are available for refrigerator trucks). There were of course environmental concerns to the ferry addition. The route map shows different paths for whale season.
