Coast Guard officials say the white, 34-foot boat, called "Larina," departed the La Marina Yacht Club in Honolulu Wednesday evening for a seven-day trip.
Officials say the person who reported the overdue vessel stated she was last in contact with the vessel at 5:45 p.m. Thursday. During the phone call she was told the trip was going well and to expect a call back later in the day. The call back never came.
According to Coast Guard officials, four people were reported to be on the vessel.
An aircrew piloting an HC-130 Hercules aircraft from Air Station Barbers Point was launched to search for the Larina at approximately 9 a.m. Saturday.
The Coast Guard requests anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of the vessel and crew to contact the Sector Honolulu command center at 808-842-2601.
