When I was in HI for a few months a couple of years ago, I was stuck by the lack of boats. For a place with so much water, I was surprised by how small the recreational boat fleet appeared to be. I went to a number of the islands and it was much the same all over. There were some marinas around, but not like I expected.
If you look on Active Captain you'll see that there are very few facilities for recreational boats. Yes, it is not a definitive source, but it probably gives a good indication of what's available. However, there is a West Marine store in Honolulu (but it's not a "superstore").
Even on Oahu there were no big marinas like you find on the east and west coasts of the mainland (or the Great Lakes). The marina on Lake Mead is way bigger than anything I saw in HI.
I also didn't see a lot of boats parked in people's yards/driveways like you see in FL.

Yeah not a lot of boats in the Islands of Hawaii , the reason I believe is that there is no place to go ....ie almost all of the bays and coves are protected so no place you can anchor ..... As for me taking the TomCat, cost would be way up there. To ship something that big would cost around 10 grand not worth it to me.....
Alrighty then ...... want to thank all those who showed an interest in our TomCat "ANYTIME BABY", we have accepted an offer, and so da boat is sold . Elizabeth and I would like to say thank you to all the great people we met along the way during our adventures in da boat . We met a lot of folks , learned a lot, and had a blast . Thanks again .
