Speed Sailing in Maui

The twin vessels, PARAGON & PARAGON II are amazing high performance sailing catamarans!  Each has reached speed records above 20 knots.  If you visit www.sailmaui.com, you will read an article by Jace Panebiano, a professional windsurfer & photo journalist.  This article was picked up by SAILING magazine, and tells the story about speed sailing across Maalaea Bay with PARAGON II.  

Come sailing with us, the pros of speed sailing on Maui!  Molokini, with PARAGON II will feature Captain Greg at the helm.  Or, visit Lana'i on PARAGON,  and speed sail with Captain Ray or Captain Ryan.  Either tour will feature the best performance sailing on Maui.

Paragon Sailing Charters Chosen by University of Portland!

A few months ago, we were selected by University of Portland Pamplin School of Business Administration to conduct a study on Organizational Management within Paragon Sailing Charters.  This selection was an honor, as the student-team analyzed all aspects of our family-run business, from communications in the office to the unique relationships on the boats.  Their 21-page paper was submitted to us for final analysis, and the recommendations for improvement were spot on!

Its always nice in these times to see University students taking the tourism industry and the real business world seriously.  These students at the University of Portland utilized Harvard Business School Studies, Management Analysis Media, and other incredible sources as they worked on Paragon.  All told, this paper was given a "A" by their Professor.  This type of analysis typically costs companies thousands in consulting hours.  All it took for us was a selection by the University and a willingness to cooperate.  Pretty cool, huh?
