Keep It Slow & Safe in the Marina
The Hawaii Kai Marina is a shared space for boaters, paddlers, waterfront homeowners, and other users of the waterways. To ensure safety, prevent property damage, and maintain a peaceful environment, all vessels must follow the slow/no wake rules in designated areas.
Why Speed Matters
Why Speed Matters
Excessive speed creates wakes that can damage seawalls, docks, vessels, and shorelines, leading to costly repairs.
Wake action can endanger small craft such as kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards.
Unnecessary speed increases noise disturbances, impacting the enjoyment of residents and marina users.
Key Rules to Follow
Key Rules to Follow
Speed Limit: The speed limit is the slower of 5 miles per hour or “no wake”, and larger boats may need to travel slower to ensure no wake is produced.
Boats over 21 feet must always travel at slow/no wake speeds, and should not operate in the ski zones.
No racing is allowed in the marina.
Be mindful of noise levels—engine noise and amplified music should not disturb the community.
From sunset to 8 AM, slow/no wake applies to all boats throughout the marina.
Marina Patrol actively monitors vessel speeds and wake levels. Boats creating excessive wakes will be directed to slow down and may be issued a citation.
Boaters’ Responsibility
Boaters’ Responsibility
All boaters operating vessels in the marina must know the Hawaii Kai Marina Rules & Regulations. Please review.
Let’s all do our part to keep the marina safe and peaceful to avoid property damage for everyone.
General Information
General Information
BOAT SLIPS. Boat slips are available at the Koko Marina Center for rent. Call the Koko Marina Management Office at 395-4737.
BOAT DOCKS. Marina waterfront residents can install and/or modify boat docks on the marina side of their homes providing the boat dock is approved by the Marina Manager. Refer to the Boat Dock Guidelines before seeking Marina Manager approval.
BOATING GUEST PASSES. A marina waterfront resident can have one guest boat/visitor per month. A guest pass must be obtained by the waterfront resident from the marina business office prior to the day that the visiting boat enters the marina. Guest passes are issued by the marina staff during normal office business hours. Call the marina office for information required on the guest pass.
SAILBOATS. Sailboats up to 14' in length are very maneuverable in the marina. Interior marina bridge heights range from approximately 13' to 19' clearance at MLLW tide level. High masted sailboats and/or deep keel and fixed keel boats will have significant difficulty in the safe navigation of the marina due to the shallow water areas of the marina. If you wish to sail in both the marina and the ocean, consideration should be given to the choice of a boat with a retractable mast which will pass under the marina bridge structures.
SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZE POWER BOATS. Power boats of approximately 14' to 21' in length with flat stern are best all-around boats for the marina. They create minimum wake, ride well at fast and slow speeds. They are also good for general cruising, as well as, for water skiing depending upon the power to weight ratio of the boat.
LARGE SIZE POWER BOATS. Power boats in excess of 21' in length with deep “V” or modified deep “V” hulls ride fairly well on ocean swells. These power boats can only be used in the marina at slow no wake speeds because of the large wake they generate. Check for bridge heights to make sure that your boat superstructure will clear. Also, insure that you have fishing outriggers and radio antennae that swivel or fold down for passing under bridges, if required.
MARINA SEAWALLS. The maintenance, repair and if necessary, replacement of waterfront seawalls in the Hawaii Kai Marina, are the sole responsibility of single family dwelling owners (for seawalls in front of their individual homes); the individual condominium associations (for seawalls adjacent to condominium land, i.e., Koko Isle Circle, Kuapa Isle, etc...) and the shopping centers (for seawalls proximate to Koko Marina Center, the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center, and the Hawaii Kai Towne Center).
