We are proud to introduce you to Maui's fastest, high performance sailing catamarans. The twin vessels Paragon and Paragon II, owned and operated by the Barto family, each feature new construction techniques and hull design paired with state-of-the-art rotating carbon fiber masts. This mast technology was used by the America's Cup winning catamaran, Stars and Stripes, and results in each ships ability to achieve incredible speeds while ensuring your safety and comfort.

The Barto family grew up in Southern California in one of the world’s most competitive sailing environments. Captain Eric grew up racing Hobie Cat’s on the lakes of the south west, including Lake Havasu and Vail Lake, as well as numerous off-shore yacht races between the west coast of the United States and Mexico. He qualified for the Olympics twice in Tornados. He is a master navigator as well, navigating several Transpac and Mexican races aboard several vessels, both catamaran and monohulls alike. His sailing adventures have taken him across the equator to the south pacific, through the Panama Canal to the Caribbean, and representing the Western Zone in the United States Yacht Racing Union National competition at Annapolis.

Taking this love of sailing and racing into the waters off Maui allowed Eric the opportunity to develop Paragon Sailing Charters with his wife, Tamara. Together, Eric and Tamara developed four tours out of two harbors, with each tour focusing on their mutual love of the ocean and sailing. Even the company name, Paragon Sailing Charters, reflects their passion in creating the most personal, exclusive tours for the visitors to Maui. Their passion for customer service has been acknowledged by Five Diamond Resorts including the Four Seasons, Maui at Wailea; The Grand Wailea Resort & Spa; The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua; and the Hyatt Regency Maui, to name just a few. Paragon Sailing Charters is a preferred vendor with many of these fine resorts.
