(Honolulu)– Atlantis Adventures announced that Daryll Hersche has been appointed as General Manager of Atlantis Navatek Cruises and is directing the company’s daily sunset dinner cruises and seasonal whale watch cruises along Oahu’s south shore.
“We offer Hawaii’s best, most comfortable cruise vessel in Navatek I and believe the vigor of Daryll’s enthusiasm and knowledge in making the most of the customer experience helps ensure the time spent cruising off Oahu is even more enjoyable and memorable,” commented Mark Almaraz, Waikiki General Manager of Atlantis Adventures.
Hersche brings more than 15 years of domestic and international management experience in the hospitality industry, with a focus on food and beverage service, to his new role for Atlantis. He most recently served as General Manager for Centerplate, where he was responsible for all food and beverage services at the Neal Blaisdell Center and at the Kona and Hilo international airports.
His management experience in Hawaii also includes a decade in charge of food and beverage services for Hilton resort properties on Oahu, along with management positions held at the Sheraton Kauai Resort, Outrigger Canoe Club in Waikiki, and Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort on Hawaii Island.
His international experience includes working for Hilton in Jerusalem, Israel, and Basel, Switzerland, and for the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver. A native of Canada, he studied Food Service Management at Claire College in Ontario before embarking on his career.
Atlantis Navatek Cruises offers daily sunset dinner cruises, along with seasonal whale watch breakfast and lunch cruises from December to April, aboard its state-of-the-art Navatek I cruise vessel.
With its unique SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) technology, the 140-foot Navatek I is the only passenger cruise vessel of its type in Hawaii and has been hailed by FORBES as “reinventing the boat.” The double-hulled design lifts the passenger-carrying compartment above the ocean surface and limits wave action against the sides, creating Hawaii’s smoothest cruise experience.
Navatek I comfortably seats 300 guests and offers spacious upper and lower outdoor observation decks and two carpeted, air-conditioned dining rooms that are lined with picture windows from end-to-end to take in the panoramic views of Waikiki, Diamond Head and Oahu’s south shoreline, while enjoying a beautiful Hawaiian sunset. The sunset dinner cruise also features live music for entertainment and dancing.
