For Well-traveled Businessman Volker Weiss, the Magnificent Maui Lifestyle Is 'Engineered to Perfection'

Volker Weiss has decided to begin his day with a flourish. Shouldering a windsurfing rig, he crosses the street by his house to the beach that’s almost like a front yard. Moments later, after paddling out past the surf, he’s up and skimming over moderate waves, balancing perfectly against the pull of his billowing blue sail. “This is one of the toughest things I’ve ever learned,” he says of the sport. “It takes a while to master. But once you do, there’s nothing quite like it. I feel completely alive and totally happy when I’m out on the open water.”

Volker and Jules enjoy taking long, leisurely strolls along their favorite stretches of beach, often looking for puka shells in the process.

Another Splendid Sunset

Later that day, after devoting hours to his clients’ business, Volker sets out for a peaceful promenade with his wife, Jules. The setting is familiar yet anything but mundane. It’s another spectacular stretch of beach, arching toward a point graced with lush green vegetation and towering palms. The water, sapphire blue much of the day, is darker now as the sun dips toward the line between sky and sea. Pausing at a favorite vantage point, the couple claims front-row seating for another splendid sunset viewed from South Maui. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” Volker declares. And this dynamic businessman, noted for his love of fine German automobiles (he’s known to many as “VW"), is absolutely convinced that the island’s magnificent lifestyle has been engineered to perfection.

Champion Swimmer

It’s no surprise that Volker is completely comfortable around water—and not only windsurfing, but snorkeling, scuba diving and wave surfing, too. As a youth living in his native Germany, Volker was picked for a national program aimed at developing champion swimmers. Enrolled in an exclusive boarding school, he underwent rigorous training in the pool and the classroom. Overall, Volker pursued competitive swimming for a decade, winning frequently. “It taught me that you have to know yourself very well, also that the challenge to your mind is just as great as the challenge to your body.” After completing his studies with top honors in English and economics, Volker was as a far-flung manager in the hospitality industry—serving high-end hotels in Hawaii, Japan, China and Nepal. Ultimately, he returned to Maui, his first love. There, Volker says, he and Jules—who’s been on the island for more than 20 years—are “incredibly happy.” He adds: “We can’t imagine living anywhere else.”

Strong and Lasting Bond 

This high-energy professional can’t imagine working anywhere else either. Because he’s so plugged in to the lifestyle of South Maui, Volker is completely in tune with every aspect of the area’s vibrant appeal. His enthusiasm for and knowledge of the area—especially the ocean-view enclaves of Wailea and Makena—are boundless. “I have a strong and lasting bond with this island,” he says. “And so it’s a joy for me to help others discover what makes Maui such a special place or become even more comfortable here.”
