Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

Sailing In Oahu
Kaikiwi happy at anchor

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.

Incredible sights while sailing

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

Those cobalt blue waters we sail in (mentioned above) are remarked about with awe every time we go sailing. It’s just as if someone came along and dropped colouring in the water before we sailed. It is exceptional.

Learn to sail in Hawaii

Whether you’re an avid sailor wishing to hone your skills or a newbie, you can learn to sail in Hawaii. Hawaii waters have some of the best sailing conditions on the planet. Learn the ropes with Sail Blue Hawaii and discover the excitement of yachting.

Talking about “learning the ropes,” the first thing you learn in boating is that they are “lines”, not “ropes”. A rookie shows who s/he is because their ease (or lack of) with the nautical language will give them away in a heartbeat. And, there is nothing wrong with being a rookie…we all start at the beginning. Boating, and especially during sailing lessons, does indeed have its own language. This language is learned over time by just being around sailors and by being onboard. Sit back and listen and you can learn a lot through osmosis. Participate, ask questions, listen and learn and you will soon be talking this language too. What fun!

Honolulu Sailing Lessons

Sail Blue Hawaii specialises in Private Sailing Tours on Oahu and offers all popular boat charters (sunrise cruise, day-sailing, sunset sail) and sailing instruction in Honolulu. Before you go buy that sailboat, come sail with me! Whether you are a beginner or need continued instruction, you’ll learn the important skills to gain confidence in Hawaiian waters.

Come on over to Sail Blue Hawaii for some Oahu sailing: sit back, relax, indulge yourself in a private sailing charter and the gift of “just being out there” and I bet you go home with some of that nautical language in your head, whether you want it there or not.

So, if your dream is to sail the Waikiki coast or beyond, your personalized lesson is waiting for you! Learn to sail in Hawaii
