While sailing in Honolulu we often see Hawaiian green sea turtles ( honu) lazing in the sun, dolphins jumping the bow, whales (winter only) spouting off to starboard, and the stunning shine of Venus at sunset.

A potential client the other day asked about the child age limit for a Hawaii private sailing charter. When I said “there is no limit” he signed up immediately for a day-sail, 6 family members on board. The keiki had a blast and, with life jackets on, with an adult, the little ones gleefully sat on Kaikiwi’s forward deck. “The best seat in the house”, I call it. Sometimes you get wet, which often pumps the kids to laugh even more.
The Foredeck is not just for Keiki

Dreams Come True in Blue Hawaii
Sail Blue Hawaii offers private sailing charters for all ages. There is no limit to children’s ages, nor elderly, as long as the latter is mobile and agile.
I can’t say enough good things about the people who find my website and sign up to sail with me. It’s a delight for me to spend Kaikiwi time with you. Whether you have never sailed before, or even perhaps never been on a boat, OR you are a seasoned sailor, I taper the sail to your comfort and/ or (:-)) your excitement. Because we are gifted with tradewinds, I can “wind it up” or “wind it down”, customised just for you and your expectations. For a more adventurous sail do choose a day-sail when we sail full sail. Sunset cruising is all about kicking back and relaxing, perhaps enjoying a cocktail. I sail with a lighter sail plan than during the day unless otherwise requested. Because our sunsets don’t tend to linger, we are back at the dock very soon after sunset. If you decide while we are out there that you would like extend your cruise to see city lights, by one half hour or more, can do. This is common, especially on spectacular evenings. No need to decide until then.

“Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain
Email with your charter request today. Any type of request is encouraged: proposal, wedding, ash scattering, life celebration, sailing lesson OR: you need no reason at all other than to enjoy ocean time with close ones, with the wind as your engine, and the sounds of sailing. It’s magic.
We are priced right to get you out there. I look forward to spending Kaikiwi time with you.

Let’s go sailing in Hawaii !
What kind of vessel will we be sailing?
Your safety and comfort are our number one concern: our vessels meet all U.S. Coast Guard inspection requirements.
Kaikiwi is a 42-foot Beneteau 411 and a wonderful sailing machine for Hawaiian waters. She is well proven: Capt. Gaelyn sailed her home from Mexico with two crew and was delighted with the way she handled in all conditions.
Kaikiwi is offered for day-sailing only (up to 6 passengers). Inter-island/ overnight charters are NOT currently offered. Larger vessels, for 7 + passengers, are also available for all DAY-sailing occasions and custom cruising.
Kaikiwi has lots of shade so time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure. Sailing in summer months is very very comfortable even in the middle of the day.
“DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAM”
I am surprised by the number of clients who come to me and say “I’ve always dreamed of sailing but never had the chance until now”. Or, “all my life I have wanted to learn how to sail. Thank you Sail Blue HI for introducing me to sailing by offering me a top-notch CUSTOMIZED sailing lesson. Wow. I want more”. A sailing lesson is a beautiful gift to give at birthdays or Christmas. It will be remembered for a life-time as a highlight. Gift certificates are available for any kind of sailing.
