Big Island never got superferry. Back in the 70s there was Seaflite on Boeing hydroplanes that was short lived as well.

Not sure why the Boeing 929 was a failure in so many places, but you can still ride them in Japan and Hong Kong. The experience is fun --they are fast, security is light and the vessels are retro-futuristic. I rode one from Tokyo to Izu-Oshima and it was 1:45 vs 6:00 for the normal ferry.

Thanks for the correction.
