HONOLULU - Hawaii Superferry announced today that it would add a second voyage four days per week between Maui and Oahu starting on Friday, May 9.

The afternoon voyage will operate on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Reservations for afternoon voyages are now open and are eligible for the current promotional $39 one-way passenger fares and $55 one-way passenger vehicle fares that have been extended for travel through June 5.

"An afternoon voyage will benefit our customers who want the convenience of traveling later in the day," said John Garibaldi, president and CEO of Hawaii Superferry. "This second round trip voyage will also greatly benefit our commercial customers, offering them the opportunity to return the same day as well as enhancing flexibility in reaching their markets.  Advance bookings have been very strong since we announced the resumption of our service on March 27.  The addition of our afternoon sailing will provide greater opportunities for our residents to visit friends and family during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer."
