Let’s Go Sailing Hawaii

Let’s go private sailing in Hawaii. Private sailing (you are not sharing the boat with another group) is on “Kaikiwi”, the 42 ft Beneteau 411 featured on this website. She sails from Oahu’s south (protected) shore, not far from Waikiki, past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific.  Wildlife such as green sea turtles, “honu”, dolphins, “nai’a”, humpback whales, “kohola” (in winter season only), and flying fish, “malolo” are some of the critters we may see as we sail. Beautiful views of Oahu, Diamond Head and, on clear days, far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. Please understand this is not “destination” sailing.  “Destination” is sailing.

I Love Sailing

so much I was simply stunned into silence the other day when someone asked “don’t you get bored doing this every day?” Never! I know sailing is not for everyone but..geez. Perhaps they had heard that awful saying: “Sailing is 95% boredom and 5% terror”; or is it: “Stay calm, and share your bananas.” ? Whichever, I did realise that particular guest was bored.

Let’s Go Sailing

There is so much that thrills me sailing every day: no sail is the same. That Pacific Ocean colour; I swear someone drops the dye in daily; it is stunning. The wind, the waves are all different daily; it’s beautiful when Kaikiwi’s sails trim to the wind and finds the gentle waves that let us surf. The marine life that comes to play. The sunsets, and sunrises. The guests, yes YOU, entertain me fully. So what’s there to get bored about?

Don’t Dream your Life; Live your dream

When you visit our beautiful islands, be sure to sign up with Sail Blue Hawaii. It doesn’t matter if you have never been on a sailboat before. Expand your horizon, yes. Let’s go Hawaii sailing! It may well be the HIghlight of your HI vacation.

Waikiki’s BEST Boat Tour

It’s hot. Its summer. How best to escape the heat than to get on your own private yacht and enjoy Waikiki’s BEST boat tour. Private sailing (you are not sharing the boat with another group) on “Kaikiwi”, the 42 ft Beneteau 411 featured here on my website, has lots of shade so time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure. It also has lots of space for “bow babes” to soak up the sun and get that rich Hawaiian sun tan. “Kaikiwi” is your yacht for however long you want to sail.

Enjoy a cooling Hawaii trade wind sail.

Feel the fresh trade wind cooling you off immediately as we set sail (YES, we actually DO sail) from Kewalo Basin, 2 miles west of Waikiki. Because this is custom sailing, we can sail any time of day you want and whatever length of time you wish. Our islands are most consistently graced with balmy year-round trade winds, so, any time is a good time to go sailing…..✨✨enjoy a magical SUNRISE cruise, a full sail morning and afternoon adventure sail, or a romantic/ peaceful SUNSET cruise.✨✨.  It is all good. 

Sail BLUE Hawaii does not have a liquor license, so please do bring your beverage of choice to help keep you hydrated and COOL (water is supplied). There is ice and a cooler on board for your convenience.

Why choose a sailing charter?

Any occasion is a great one to get out sailing on Hawaiian waters, to enjoy some relaxing and refreshing ocean time, privately and with loved ones. You are NOT sailing with “49 of your closest friends”. 30-60 pax boats, sailing masses of strangers together, seem to have taken over our waters. Sail BLUE Hawaii offers an intimate and exciting atmosphere where you can lay back and catch up with friends and family. Or just spend some quiet and reflective time on your own at the bow. Yes, this is custom sailing…your choice of gentle or adventurous…your captain LISTENS to your specific request.

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or have never been on a sail boat before, the “oh yes” you feel ( or murmur or SHOUT!) when the sails are set and that engine is turned off is real. I hear the sighs of peace/ relief every time…sailor and newbie alike. No engine, much peace. So, say goodbye to the noisy, smelly motorised boat tours that speed through the waves giving you whiplash (and others boat wake :-() ) and are so annoyingly noisy..so much so you can’t even sit back and relax and chat.

Sign up for Sail BLUE Hawaii’s custom private charter, Waikiki’s best boat tour, the one with NO engine noise and smells because, yes, we actually SAIL.
