Hawaii Superferry Set to Launch This Week
The controversial Hawaii Superferry should be up and running by Dec. 6, barring another last-minute surprise.
The high-speed ferry, designed as a low-cost way to hop between Hawaiian Islands, operated for just two days in August before environmental concerns, protests and a legal ruling shut it down. Hawaii's governor has since signed a law allowing it to resume service while the state conducts a review of the ferry's potential environmental impact.
The ferry can hold 866 passengers and 282 cars. It'll travel between Oahu and Maui in three hours. Inaugural fares are $29 per person, one way, through Dec. 20. After that, fares rise to $39 per person, one way. Fares for cars start at $55, one way.
The company also plans service between Oahu and Kauai but has not set a start date. It faces stiff community opposition on the island.
