The tide in Tahiti is never more than one foot and a wide wood plank connected the sterns of the yachts to the shore. Doris would “walk the plank” carrying baby Karen on her hip, with Keith in tow. The ladies of the village spent the morning preparing the feast. Doris was confined to sitting on a coconut mat where she was fed bananas and treated like royalty. Sometimes their self-steering device worked and sometimes it didn’t. When it didn’t, they took turns at the wheel, four hours on and four hours off.
Restaurant Beginnings
Our Reservationists can book up to 18 months in advance for both Lunch & Dinner. Steps away from our restaurant and the beach, the Inn at Mama's is where coziness and elegance meet. Mama’s Fish House is the product of a grand sailing adventure.

A decadent dark chocolate mousse serves as the pearl and covers a sweet, slightly tart lilikoi (passion fruit) cream center. All of this is encased between two wafer clamshells. Past the arch, the scene opens up to a view of the beach, coconut trees, and a grassy area. Scattered among the space are Polynesian statues and antiques. If you’re a little early, this is a good spot to take pictures — with your dining companions or of Hawaiian sea turtles that often bask on the beach nearby.
The search for a boat
Occasionally they rigged the boat to stay in place (heave to) so they could catch up on their sleep. No electronic navigation aids existed then and Floyd navigated by sun sights taken with a sextant, just as sea captains had done for hundreds of years. Using a marine clock that was calibrated with time signals broadcast by shortwave radio, Doris called out the exact second that was noon. Floyd measured the angle of the sun from the horizon with his sextant.

Regardless of what anyone says, the place is an institution. If you’ve never been, want a quintessential Maui experience, and willing to splurge on a fancy meal — I say you should go for it. You won’t regret the food, even if your wallet might. Don’t fret if you get to Maui and realize you didn’t pack a designer cocktail dress. While the restaurant is considered an upscale spot, the attire at Mama’s is what I’d call island casual. During my last visit, I ordered the sesame-rice crusted Hawaiian Kanpachi, which was caught off the coast of Kailua Kona.
Reasonable efforts toward improving seamless, accessible, and unhindered use of websites by customers and potential customers is generally a worthwhile goal. There are only one or two entrees on the menu that don’t consist of seafood. We recommend trying the steak filet if you aren’t a seafood lover.
New hotels were being built beside the beaches of Kaanapali, now accessible from new highways. The Christensons decided that if they were ever to open their dream restaurant, it would be on Maui. On dark moonless nights they would catch fresh water prawns using flashlights to illuminate their eyes, spearing them with sharpened nails tied to the end of sticks. By early afternoon the entire village arrived, all of them dressed in colorful pareu’s (lava-lavas), flower leis and flower hei’s (head dresses). An impressive array of food was served in hand-carved wooden bowls and plates.
Access to any company's website can be challenging for persons having certain disabilities. What may work well for one person, may cause difficulties for another person. To that end we have engaged the services of professionals to assist and advise us in these matters.

Mama’s Fish House: A Must Do or Definite Don’t? What It’s Like to Dine at the Revered Maui Restaurant
From Kaanapali and Lahaina, allow a minimum of 1 hour for the drive due to traffic. Please check WAZE or Maui 24/7 on FB for traffic updates. From Wailea allow a minimum of 1 hour for the drive due to traffic. No restaurant parking is allowed in designated Beach stalls. We are right on the beach, 1.5 miles past Paia on the road to Hana.
Depending what ingredients the ‘āina provides us, our chefs will create flavors inspired by the seasons and the taste of Polynesia. From day one, Floyd and Doris understood the importance of building relationships with Maui's fisherman. They are imperative to the creation of our dishes and we are so grateful for their commitment to Mama's and their respect for the ocean through sustainable practices. Our Reservationist can book both Lunch & Dinner up to 18 months in advance.
The Cook Islands were then owned by New Zealand and the food there was a mix of British and Polynesian. Avarua, Rarotonga was a comfortably small island town and the harbor was good. Floyd & Doris made many friends and hoped to return to spend more time there. Vaima served traditional Tahitian dishes and French bistro fare, accompanied by French wine or Papeete’s Hinano beer. Lunch might be a salad of fish marinated in coconut milk and lime juice and served in a coconut. (Tahitian fish salad and Hinano beer are served at Mama’s Fish House).
As Marinero approached the equator and the windless doldrums, it became unbearably hot and steamy. At night the entire boat would be lit by explosions of phosphorescent light from deep in the ocean. Vague outlines of huge animals could be seen in the deep. We highly recommend booking early as you plan for your special day. Come taste our interpretation of the Pacific ocean and the Pacific islands. Mama’s Fish House is open for open air dining and the safety and well-being of our staff, our guests, and each and every member of our Maui community, is of the utmost importance to us.
There were no resorts on Maui, only the Pioneer Inn in sleepy Lahaina ($10/night). To reach the deserted beaches of Kaanapali and Wailea, they had to walk through thick groves of thorny Kiawe trees. A Tahitian family urged them to visit Tahiti and the South Pacific which they said was still an undiscovered paradise.
