Name: Riley Coon

Originally From: Kula, Maui

Worked For Trilogy Since: Lifer! On and off for about 30 years and full time for the past 14. 

Trip You’ll Most Likely Find Me On: Sunrise Discover Lanai.

Where Do You Go On Vacation?: A small island in Southeastern Alaska where I go with my family every summer. 

Favorite Restaurant on Maui: My kitchen, cooking for people. 

Most Interesting Place You’ve Had A Passenger From: I always think people from New Zealand are rad.

Favorite Place On Maui: Kanaha outer reef on days with big surf!

Coolest Thing You’ve Seen While Snorkeling: When a bunch of beginner snorkelers get the hang of it and end up snorkeling longer and further out than anyone else. 

Why Is Sustainability Important To You: We have a big impact on the islands. Let’s make it be a good one. 

What’s An Element Of Hawaiian Culture Or Tradition That You Respect, Appreciate, Or Value? Place names have a lot of meaning. 

What Makes You Stoked To Work For Trilogy? Our boats are sick! The crew have big hearts. So many of our guests are really neat to hang out with—I especially like it when families rent out the boats for private charters!

Have you been on one of our Maui snorkeling tours with Captain Riley?
