After optimistic predictions and unexpected setbacks, the Hawaii Superferry will finally start Oahu-Maui service on December 1. The inaugural passenger fare is $29 one-way through December 20, 2007. From December 21 through March 12, 2008, it will rise to $39. These special inaugural fares are available only with an advance purchase basis. Reservations are required from www.HawaiiSuperferry.com or 877-HI-FERRY (877-443-3779).
Inaugural vehicle fares are $55 one-way for cars and $35 for motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. The fuel surcharge has been waived for these promotional fares. Automatic refunds will be issued to customers who previously purchased tickets at a higher fare for travel December 1, 2007 to March 12, 2008.
Hawaii Superferry initially is offering one daily roundtrip, leaving Honolulu at 6:30 a.m. and arriving in Kahului at 9:30 a.m.. and departing Kahului at 11:00 a.m. and arriving in Honolulu at 2:00 p.m. No date has yet been set for Kauai service.

I'll add that United Airlines has some sale fares to Maui in December (!).

It's off again -- or at least postponed, so I guess enthusiasm was premature. According to another press release:
ReplyDelete"Honolulu Hawaii Superferry today announced it is moving the re-launch date for service between Maui and OŒahu to Thursday, December 6, 2007. The state
DOT¹s Kahului barge sustained minor damage during a storm swell earlier this
month.
"While repairs are estimated by the state DOT to be completed by November 30, 2007, additional time is warranted before service is resumed. The Alakai will be returning to Kahului Harbor next week before the start of service to
realign the vessel with the pier and barge."
Passengers who booked crossings between December 1 and December 5 are being contacted and either refunded or accommodated for ravel beginning December 6.
