A Labor of Love Our Story

Celebrate Our Oceans

There is a Hawaii not often seen by those who live outside the islands, and yet it is all around. There is comfort in being surrounded by it, knowing all the gifts it has given, and still gives, to us. And here in Hawaii, wrapped in the warm and clear Pacific, we live by its rhythm, the Ocean.

We see the sun rise and set on it each day; it waits for us around every corner; it’s the reward for every scaled peak. It is the constant in the life of a Hawaiian. Whether in the presence of its vast stillness or when it rages against the sky, we’re humbled — it reminds us that we are small, and we are lucky to be here. All life is precious and flourishes because of it, and we offer tribute.

Sharing paradise with the world

Anyone who’s lived or even visited the Islands shares a connection and deep appreciation for the things that make Hawai‘i such a special place on Earth.

For Shay Smith and his family, it is where their life-adventure and OCEAN Organic Vodka began. Being born and raised on Maui provided the luxury to explore this tropical paradise, which included passionately riding its magnificent ocean waves. The Hawaiian Islands are his home and a magical place worth sharing. After returning from college and some International travel, Shay was encouraged by his entrepreneurial parents to create a premium product from Hawaii with the desire of making it available around the world.

The Vision

The idea of OCEAN Organic Vodka was sparked by an article in the newspaper about one of Hawaii’s natural resources – desalinated deep ocean mineral water off the Kona coast of the Big Island. This coupled with a collection of experiences like relaxing on the lanai after a long day, enjoying a libation and “talking-story” with friends and family became the basis for this celebratory creation.

As with most business concepts, a team is required to bring them to life…so he took the idea to his family to see if they were up for the ride. The answer was a resounding YES and so in 2004 the voyage began.

A Family Affair

From a family start-up to a growing enterprise, Hawai‘i Sea Spirits has grown its extended family to include experts in farming, distilling, operations, marketing, sales and more.

Through the production of award-winning distilled spirits to the tours given on our 80-acre organic farm, we always extend a heartfelt aloha. We play in the dirt and cultivate more than 30 species of Polynesian sugar cane under the tropical sun. The sunlight also helps provide power for our facility, which is situated on the beautiful slopes of Haleakala in Kula, Maui. This home away from home offers breathtaking views and is open seven days a week with guided tours, product sampling, and a retail store featuring our spirits and merchandise.

Our Mission

Our business is about more than operating a farm and distillery that responsibly produces quality spirits. It’s about capturing moments in time with those we choose to create long-lasting memories…just like the memories created from visiting our Hawaiian paradise. We create the best spirits on this planet using the best ingredients available. Quality ingredients come from nurtured Earth. Given the reach and physical consumption of our products, our mission is to use this as a platform to become excellent storytellers. As our products reach more, so does our story.
