A towing company is scheduled to remove the Discovery at high tide on August 10, 2025.

Amid the high surf conditions, Ocean Safety officials reported that lifeguards rescued 336 beach-goers and performed 3,866 preventative actions to ensure safety.

Dramatic video footage captured by onlookers showed the vessel struggling against powerful waves, with surf photographer Ramon Brockington describing the scene as 'unreal'.

As of the afternoon following the incident, the U.S. Coast Guard, along with state and city crews, continued to respond to the situation.

Fortunately, two experienced crew members were on board at the time of the grounding, and no injuries were reported.

Atlantis Adventures, the owner of the Discovery, confirmed that there were no passengers on the boat during the incident and that there has been no fuel or oil leakage.

The U.S. Coast Guard responded promptly, ensuring that the boat's fuel, oil, and batteries were removed to prevent pollution.

An investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard is underway to determine the reasons for the grounding, with no apparent mechanical failures detected prior to the event.

Atlantis Adventures is cooperating with government agencies to safely tow the vessel and conduct a thorough inspection before it returns to service.

On August 9, 2025, the 75-foot passenger vessel named Discovery ran aground near Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu during a high surf advisory, with waves reaching up to 14 feet.

The incident occurred around 8 a.m. when powerful waves disrupted the vessel's course, causing it to lose propulsion after being struck by two large waves.

As a result, the vessel was pushed onto a dry reef and ultimately drifted against a concrete wall.
