About
Since 1973,
Trilogy Excursions has been operating premium sailing catamaran tours on Maui and Lānaʻi that lead the industry in Hawaiian hospitality, safety standards and sustainable ecotourism. Family owned and operated by the “Sailing Coon Family," Trilogy has been awarded numerous accolades; voted the #1 Sea Activity on Maui in 2018, the 2017 Ecotour of the Year, and ranked by TripAdvisor as the #5 Tour Company in the U.S.A. Every team member from entry-level deckhand to the most senior Captain goes through extensive training that has earned Trilogy the reputation for being the very best in the industry. In addition to preserving the ancient art of sailing, Trilogy continuously strives to embody the Hawaiian cultural value of hospitality, known as Ho‘okipa. Unlike the large power catamarans that carry upwards of 149 passengers, Trilogy’s boats average 40-50 guests. Patrons aboard are afforded a more spacious sailing experience, allowing their crew to provide individualized attention with superior quality of service. This includes the crew learning the names of all guests and treating each individual like part of the ‘ohana (family). This level of customer service has won the repeat loyalty of guests and their word-of-mouth recommendations, allowing Trilogy to remain as Maui’s #1 Sailing company for the past 45 years.
Meet LiAnne
Trilogy’s Director of Sales and Marketing, LiAnne Driessen, has over 15 years of experience working within the ocean recreation and hospitality industry. She has coordinated countless events for specialized groups ranging in size from 50-300 people. Her background in Conference, Meeting, and Incentive travel, lent itself naturally into wedding coordination and specialized group charters. LiAnne received her M.B.A from the University of Portland with a focus in Marketing. This niche study has lent itself to the creative planning process with her clients: specifically, in structuring the complex timeline of a wedding week and the budgeting that goes along with it. LiAnne is sensitive to follow the vision of each guest while bringing inspired ideas to add that extra pop of “WOW” to her client’s special day.
“My passion is to create experiences that bring people to a state of bliss. There is a wonderful escalation of energy in a well-planned wedding-week. Each day’s event is thoughtfully put together to allow friends, family, and first-time acquaintances the chance to interact and bond over shared laughs and activities” - LiAnne
