My wife and son are non-divers, but avid and experienced snorkelers. On vacations we like to mix shore-based snorkeling with one or two snorkel-oriented outings by boat.
Our past experience in Hawaii included a couple of nice day trips on two different ops on the Big Island that took groups of ~12 out on RIBs for relatively casual, not-too-supervised snorkeling. By contrast, one year we went on a motor cat trip in Kauai that we found to be very regimented (large crowd, everyone was compelled to wear inflatable vests and stay in supervised groups with limited times in the water, etc).
We're hoping to replicate the first category of experience when we are in Maui next week staying near Napili Bay. Are there any ops in that general area (Lahaina?) that are worth recommending?
