Hawaii Private Sailing “off the beaten track”

Set the tone (adventure, romance, fast sailing, slow easy sailing…) for your New Year and book a Hawaii private sailing charter A client this week (I am always interested, of course, how customers navigate to my site) said he had searched ” ‘un-touristy’ sailing charter”. ha ha. I love that Sail Blue Hawaii is thought of as different, AND un-touristy! Indeed, Sail Blue Hawaii does offer a different ocean experience than the many many catamaran tours (you’ll find online) where you “sail” with 59 of your closest friends. A novel approach another customer took to find exactly what she wanted was by the use of A.I “CoPilot”. Her request was immediately answered with the details sought and the suggestion of: “email capt.gaelyn@sailbluehawaii.com”. Do just that and you’ll find that we are priced right to get you out there.

5 best ideas that makes Sail Blue Hawaii unique and different

  1. We raise sails at the beginning of your charter and sail the entire time. For Hawaii, where many others motor or motor-sail, this is a unique treat. Sailors love this, as does everyone else…newbies too. Welcome aboard a true sailing charter.
  2. You have a uniquely private sailing charter. This means it’s only you and your family group. Perfect for romantic couples and celebrations too. No flu-bugs here.
  3. This is custom sailing. Unlike other companies who have a strict timetable, you can sail any time of day you want and whatever length of time you wish. No one else on island offers this: you are limited to their schedule. Our islands are mostly graced with consistent trade winds so any time is a good time to go sailing.
  4. Sailing lessons are offered for those wanting the taste. When else could one have the opportunity to put their hands on the wheel of a beautiful pricey yacht? Certainly no one else in Hawaii offers sailing lessons without you first signing up for the rigid ASA program on sub-par sailboats.
  5. You get to bring your own food and beverage. With today’s dietary needs, nothing is worse than having a pre-catered expensive menu, with foods you cannot eat, and having that cost hidden in your charter fee. You will appreciate this too if you have keiki.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR

by setting sail with Sail Blue Hawaii. You can navigate to the website with tag “un-touristy” sailing and/or using A.I. with your unique request. You’ll leave the chaos of snorkeling with a hundred others to others and appreciate the QUIET and PEACE of true sailing. There is no crowd as you leave the tour bus and the overloaded tour catamaran behind. The wind is our engine and the ocean is our song. You will not be disappointed with your choice of Hawaii’s best private sailing “off the beaten track”.

NO RULES! Bananas on board is OK with me 🙂

5 BEST reasons to choose a Private Hawaii Sunset Cruise

Honolulu sunset sailing: a beautiful time of day to be on the water. What can be more romantic than sunset aboard a sailboat on the Pacific Ocean. You will want to experience a sunset cruise during your vacation in Waikiki. Here are the 5 best Hawaii sunset cruise ideas:

Honolulu’s Best Sunset Cruise

  1. Have you ever seen the green flash? On your private sunset sail, this may well be what captures your joy the most. There are theories about what makes the green flash. Check them out online. I have seen more than my share of this delicious phenomenon on numerous sunset sails.
  2. The other evening, my charterer pulled off an especially perfect surprise sunset cruise for his girlfriend. She had no idea she was about to go sailing until she got to the dock. She had always expressed a desire to be on a private sail boat/ a private boat tour. It was with teary eyes she climbed on board.
  3. Of course, saying “I do” is particularly romantic at sunset: a private yacht, just the two of you and the captain. YES, this is the perfect reason to choose a sunset cruise. Sail on a Friday evening and enjoy a fireworks display just for you! A combined sunset and fireworks cruise is a highlight…how can she say anything but “yes”in this most romantic ambiance.
  4. A life celebration/ ash scattering is particularly special in the easy sunset hours. Your sunset sail with family and friends will stay in your mind forever as you remember and celebrate your loved one.
  5. Of course, you need no reason at all to choose a Hawaii sunset cruise. It is the best time of a day. Sail out there and enjoy all that Hawaii’s beauty has to offer.

Call Sail Blue Hawaii today and sign up for your own private sunset cruise. If you are especially lucky, in the winter months, your private sunset cruise may well turn into whale watching! This Hawaii Sunset Cruise could well be the highlight of ANY vacation.

We do look for mermaids too. The first to see one gets a free boat ride. 🙂
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.
