Elevating the Catamaran Experience: RED Hospitality and LeisureImage via

RED Hospitality and Leisure has introduced a noteworthy addition in luxury catamaran experiences with the debut of the Ali’i Kai Catamaran. A transformative addition to their fleet, Ali’i Kai marries innovative design with exceptional service tailored to unique daytime sailing experiences. 

The Ali’i Kai is the 15th sailing catamaran in RED’s globally renowned fleet. What sets this vessel apart is not just its cutting-edge craftsmanship but also the vision behind its design. Unlike typical day sail catamarans, Ali’i Kai brings a yacht-like quality to the experience. With an elevated private first-class upper deck, guests can indulge in an exclusive “cruise-within-a-cruise” ambiance. This premium area offers personalized service, world-class wines, and panoramic ocean views, reminiscent of first-class air travel. 

Another standout feature is the full-service galley, which allows for gourmet meals prepared onboard. Imagine savoring a glass of champagne at sunset while enjoying filet mignon or fresh-caught mahi mahi, crafted to order by skilled culinary professionals. Each party has dedicated seating, providing an intimate dining experience that’s unique to the Ali’i Kai. Guests can relax on expansive daybeds at the vessel’s bow, take in the scenic vistas, and cool off in air-conditioned comfort—a rarity among day sail catamarans. 

Craftsmanship and Design Excellence 

The Ali’i Kai’s design and construction reflect RED’s years of expertise in the industry. As the first catamaran entirely conceptualized in-house, it incorporates lessons learned from RED’s global operations. The vessel’s size and stability ensure a smooth sailing experience, while its state-of-the-art equipment supports seamless service delivery. The layout prioritizes both crew efficiency and guest comfort, allowing RED’s exceptional crew to focus on delivering personalized service that exceeds expectations. 

RED’s commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond aesthetics. Every element of the Ali’i Kai’s design is functional yet luxurious, creating an environment that invites relaxation and indulgence. The team’s passion for service shines through, ensuring that each guest feels like the star of their own adventure. 

Expanding Excellence Across Destinations 

RED Hospitality and Leisure’s innovative approach is not limited to Maui. Across their global operations, RED continues to enhance the luxury excursion market. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Flying Frenchman offers a similarly elevated experience, blending local charm with RED’s hallmark commitment to excellence. Guests can explore pristine waters and breathtaking landscapes aboard this state-of-the-art vessel, enjoying the same personalized service and luxurious amenities. 

In Turks and Caicos, RED is preparing to launch the Princess Grace Catamaran, a tribute to timeless elegance and sophistication. This new addition promises to elevate the island’s luxury travel offerings with exclusive features tailored to discerning travelers. From sunset cruises to private events, the Princess Grace Catamaran will deliver unmatched experiences in one of the world’s most stunning destinations. 

RED’s footprint extends further with strategic partnerships with premier resorts in Turks and Caicos, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Key West, and Maui. These collaborations ensure seamless integration of their luxury excursions into some of the most sought-after travel experiences. Working with iconic brands such as The Ritz-Carlton, RED consistently delivers exceptional service and unforgettable moments for guests across all its markets. 

Luxury Tailored to the High-End Traveler 

RED’s luxury catamarans are not just about daytime excursions; they also elevate dinner and sunset sails to unprecedented levels. Drawing inspiration from the finest waterfront restaurants, RED’s culinary team focuses on delivering excellence. The vessel’s menus feature locally sourced produce, premium spirits, and ingredients curated by luxury chefs to create a seamless experience from start to finish. Signature cocktails and a relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere further enhance the journey, making it a standout choice for discerning travelers seeking both adventure and refinement. 

RED Hospitality and Leisure has long understood the evolving desires of high-end travelers. Today’s guests demand more than just a service they seek an immersive experience. Ali’i Kai delivers on this demand with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to authenticity. 

Innovative Leadership at the Helm 

Chris Batchelor, CEO and President of RED Hospitality and Leisure, has been the driving force behind the company’s success. Born and raised in Maui, Batchelor’s lifelong connection to the ocean inspired his career in sailing and hospitality. Under his leadership, RED has expanded its operations across some of the world’s most sought-after destinations, including Hawaii, Turks and Caicos, and the Virgin Islands. 

Batchelor’s innovative approach to business has propelled RED to the forefront of luxury excursions and watersports. His dedication to excellence is evident in the Ali’i Kai, a vessel that encapsulates his vision for creating unforgettable guest experiences. Beyond his corporate achievements, Batchelor remains passionate about youth sailing programs and marine career training, further solidifying his impact on the industry.
