Captain Don Germain
Captain Don is the full time captain on the Ho'o Nanea. Finding some one who loves their job more than Don just might be impossible! Don came to the North Shore from Huntington Beach California in 1977 and, as he puts it, "is still on his two week vacation!" This is one guy who does not watch the clock or count the days till his day off. In fact most of the time he seems to be having just as much fun as his guests.

Don is the perfect guide and loves to share his knowledge of the North Shore, the ocean, and what lives in the ocean. During his 30 years in Hawaii Don has been surfing, diving, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, and anything else that seems fun on the ocean. After all these years on the North Shore Don has some great stories and all though they may be a bit exaggerated, they are all mostly true! Captain Don puts his guests first and on these personal tours he really goes the extra mile.
Don lives near Sunset Beach with his wife Corrine and daughter Paulina. Ten year old Paulina is just as fun loving as her father and when school, soccer, and surfing contests allow, she is working on the catamaran with dad.
