Let’s Go Sailing Oahu

Kaikiwi sails from Oahu’s south shore. You will embark at Kewalo Basin boat harbor, not far from Waikiki beach hotels. We sail past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific. The south shore is the protected side of Oahu: calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect sailing destination.

Why go sailing Oahu

Common marine wildlife sightings on Oahu are for example, Hawaiian green sea turtles, honu, dolphins, nai’a, and humpback whales, kohola (in winter season only). In addition, flying fish, malolo are some of the critters we may see as we sail about the island. Sunrise cruise, day-sail, sunset cruise, private sailing lessons, ash scattering..are all available. This is custom cruising at it’s best.

Incredible sights while sailing

Beautiful breathtaking views of Diamond Head are just one of the highlights while sailing in Oahu. On clear days, although far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen from the island of Oahu. This is not destination sailing, destination is sailing!

While Kaikiwi is a US documented vessel she does like to fly the kiwi flag. All nationalities invited to sail!:

Oahu private sailing charter

While visiting Hawaii, treat yourselves to an Oahu private sailing charter. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu, the wind is our engine and the ocean is our playground. I always say the best way to see Waikiki is from a distance. 😎 Everyone agrees.

Where are we going?

“Kaikiwi” 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.

Just yesterday the air was so clear, it was magical. We could even see as far as Maui…straight through the channel to Lahaina. That happens once in a blue moon.

Speaking of Lahaina and Maui. Our hearts continue to break as the impacts reach further and deeper, far and wide. Please check out where you can help our families and businesses there. I don’t single out a particular organisation, but there is a list on my website. Please give where you can and PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL YOUR HAWAII VACATION. WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER NOW.

When should we sail?

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 trade winds so any time is a good time to go sailing…✨choose a SUNRISE cruise, a morning or afternoon adventure, or a relaxing SUNSET cruise.✨  It is all good.
