The Hawaii Kai Harbor is a private gated marina. This includes the entire lagoon as accessed from the bridge on Kalanianaole Hwy. The waters are managed and controlled by the Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association. The Marina Association has patrolmen to ensure a safe and enjoyable marina for the community. The Hawaii Kai Lagoon is considered private and is not open to the public.
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. 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.

Hawaii Kai Harbor is nestled in the East end of the Hawaii Kai Lagoon. It is a quiet private, gated harbor flanked by restaurants and shopping in the Koko Marina Shopping Center. The Harbor is managed by the Koko Marina Management Office but falls under the rules and jurisdiction of the Hawaii Kai Community Association.
Electricity is available for harbor tenants and is included in the monthly slip fee.
The use of the marina by the boats moored at the Koko Marina boat slips are limited to ingress and egress Maunalua Bay via the shortest possible route (with the exception of authorized Hawaii Kai residents who have normal access of all waterways of the marina). Koko Marina boat slip renters must also abide by the Hawaii Kai Marina Rules and Regulations when operating their vessels on the marina.
The Marina is only accessible to tenants or those holding homes or slips.
Vessels over 21ft in length may not wakeboard and must operate in the lagoon with no wake.
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.
