Your Hawaii private sailing charter 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 trade winds so any time of day is a good time to go sailing…✨SUNRISE, morning, afternoon, SUNSET✨. It is all good.
A private sunrise sail to remember
It was a beautiful chilly morning when we left the dock before sunrise. The sky colours changed every minute, it seemed, as we sailed towards Diamond Head. The sunrise clouds coloured every point on the compass.
Along the way, in the precious still of the morning, we dropped sail to scatter ashes of their loved one, flowers following. It was magical, peaceful and a tender way to start the day.
Get in touch with Sail Blue Hawaii for your private sailing charter. Your private boat tour will include magic that you couldn’t even anticipate.
As captain of your private sail boat, it is an honour to help facilitate your Hawaii ash scattering/ life celebration at sea.
Your ash scattering includes a private sailing charter
A reflective sail to Diamond Head establishes the mood for your ash scattering/ life celebration. How often are we surrounded by rainbows during this boat tour? Almost always. Talk about setting the mood!
Take as long as you need to talk about your loved one as you scatter their ashes and celebrate their life. When all is done, an easy down-wind sail brings your back to the harbour.
When is the best time to sail? Anytime is good…sunrise, sunset, morning, afternoon..you choose.
I hope your days here in Hawaii have lots of sunshine and brightness to them. Hawaii is such a healing place…immerse yourself in that richness while here, and take it with you when you leave.
Choose Sail Blue Hawaii for your Hawaii ash scattering/ life celebration.
The Hawaiian islands are known for their romance. So, what could be more perfect than saying “I will” aboard your own private yacht at sunset. Yes, your Hawaii marriage proposal will guarantee she says “yes.”
Saying “yes” is just the beginning
May the love you share today be just as strong every day in the years to come. You will look back on this evening as not just the highlight of your Hawaii vacation, but the highlight of your lives. Your private Hawaii marriage proposal will set the tone of your lives together as you sail off into the sunset.
Pre-covid, a multi-day sailing charter in Hawaii was the best adventure to sign up for. It still looks like a while before I have the opportunity to safety re-start these amazing sailing adventures. In the meantime, do book a private sailing charter for the day. A day-sail can be just the adventure you want.
Why chose a multi-day sailing charter?
“DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAM”
“So, where are we going?”
“We are going sailing.”
… with island-stops and remote anchorages, sailing Oahu and Maui county from home-base, Oahu. Where we go between day-one and journey’s end will depend on wind and weather. If you want to take time to have a day here and there to just hang out “on the hook” or at the beach, we can also accommodate this.
To understand Hawaii sailing is to understand her geography: remote islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, shallow channels between these islands, high mountain peaks on each of these islands. This combination can brew very windy and high-sea-state conditions, especially in the channels.
Please understand this is NOT A CRUISE. IT IS adventure sailing…some call it “extreme” sailing…from easy light air and downwind runs to upwind sailing in strong winds and big seas. Yes, on some days, conditions will be challenging. Rest assured: your USCG-licensed captain has sailed these waters for years and the boat is a sturdy workhorse in these conditions. This is blue water sailing at its best as only Hawaii can offer.
A multi-day charter in the Hawaiian Islands is perfect for adult sailors who have some ocean in their veins. That being said, if you are sailing as a newbie, all you need is a sense of adventure, love of the outdoors and “roughing it”, and your cheery disposition.
Inter-island trips are offered as multi-day sailing vacations for adults only, (max four adults) not ferry services. In other words, if all you want is a quick delivery from one island to another, this is not offered. While land-time can be arranged, please understand that your destinations are weather-permitting and it is best to keep the sailing vacation schedule as loose as possible. Land-based activities can be arranged within an extended trip. Our inter-island sailing grounds are off Oahu, Molokai, Lanai and Maui. They do not include passage to Big Island or Kauai.
sailing Oahu’s west end
Overnight adventures (minimum 2 nights, 3 days) are also available, Oahu-based. This is a wonderful way to enjoy tradewind sailing if the idea of channel crossing sounds more than your idea of “fun”.
Celebrate Dad!. On Sunday, I had the delight of taking a family of six out on an eight-hour privater sailing charter. “Eight hours?’ you say “way too long”. Yes for many, but not this family. The day dawned glorious and with flat seas and light wind we throw off the bowlines and sailed south without a care in the world. As the private sailing charter progressed, the winds increased but stayed moderate even outside the notorious Diamond Head windline. What a spectacular day. “This was my best Father’s Day yet. Mahalo for making it so special”. My pleasure!
2. Celebrate LOVE. Last week, at sunset, John brought his girlfriend aboard Kaikiwi for their very own private sailing charter. It was a surprise for her but that wasn’t the only surprise she was getting that evening. There was a ring involved. Just before sunset, he got down on his knee ( a hard thing to do on a moving sail boat) and proposed. She said “YES!!” You too can make your proposal the highlight of your lifetime by choosing a private sunset cruise. Sailing is the most romantic type of boating.

A birthday surprise sailing charter will be remembered forever
3. Celebrate a birthday. Carmen called me to book a private sailing charter as a surprise for her husband’s birthday and what a surprise it was. He had tears in his eyes as he boarded Kaikiwi. He had always wanted to sail, had watched videos and talked about it as a dream but never thought he could have it. Carmen made it happen and they will be back for more sailing.
4. Celebrate your Hawaii vacation. Perhaps you have never sailed before and the thought of it is hugely outside your comfort zone. An easy boat tour may be all you want and I can certainly accommodate that. Whether or not we raise sail, we can do an easy boat tour up the coast to check out the island of Oahu from a different angle and her marine life! Just explain your booking needs when you call and you will be completely taken care of.
5. Celebrate life. If you are a serious sailor, a full sail private sailing charter is for you! Yes, this is where we go full out, heel over and let the wind take Kaikiwi to her finest sailing ability. She is a perfect sailing machine for Hawaii waters.
Give Sail Blue Hawaii a call for all your boating needs and you will have your own private sailing charter customized just for you.
