How Shipping from Maui Works
Shipping FROM Hawaii is the documented direction — five documents are required at the port, and missing one can push you past your sailing. From Maui there’s one extra leg: we arrange the inter-island barge from Kahului Harbor to Honolulu, then your Matson crossing to the mainland, all under a single booking.
Email your documents (24h before drop-off)
Five documents: vehicle title (front and back), current Hawaii registration, Hawaii Safety Inspection Certificate, photo ID, and a lien holder letter if financed. We confirm the checklist is complete before you drive to the harbor.
Drop off at Kahului Harbor
Quarter tank of fuel or less, no personal items. Neighbor-island Ports operate on select days — we confirm your exact drop-off day with your booking.
Barge to Honolulu, then the Matson crossing
We arrange the inter-island barge to Honolulu and your Matson sailing to Long Beach or Oakland as one coordinated booking — 14–17 days ocean transit.
Mainland pickup or door delivery
Pick up at Long Beach Port or Oakland Port, or we dispatch an overland carrier to deliver straight to your mainland address.
