Great stuff. Maybe the farmers and fishers would do good with this venture...don't know. It seems like it would be a good venture for someone to ferry people only and charge a really dirt cheap price! You can fit a lot more people than vehicles onboard. It's still about 3 hours each way from Oahu to Maui or Kauai...four to the Big Island. I think it would be cool for a business to offer a ferry/coastal tour just from Hilo/Kona/Hilo...either coastline is gorgeous and to do a roundtrip tour or two a day you could really make some bucks depending on the size of the vessel. Hmmmm...
I would also add that when my Mom and I were on Kauai last year I tried every place there was to find a boat that would take a wheelchair person out on it. THEY would like to see the Na Pali coast as well. But no one did that. It was all Zodiac type boats or cruisers with slides to snorkel, etc. Really a bummer that there is a whole section of the population that has no access to the beauty of either the Na Pali Coastline OR Waimea Canyon. We drove all the way to the top and there was no access ramp available to a wheelchair bound person. Sad.
