How will inter-island travel be possible in Hawaii for the foreseeable future?

For the foreseeable future, there won't be a ferry service operating in Hawaii, leaving limited options for inter-island transportation. Flying will remain the primary method of travel between Hawaiian islands for most visitors and residents alike. The only alternatives to air travel would be chartering a private vessel or bringing your own boat, both of which are impractical options for the average traveler. Despite the potential demand for maritime transportation options, various challenges including geographic, economic, and legal obstacles continue to prevent the establishment of regular ferry services in Hawaii.
