Private Sailing Charters

Oh !! the luxury and awe of sailing your own private yacht in Hawaii. Sail Hawaii’s best charter boat,”Kaikiwi”, the best-kept charter boat in the islands. She is a US Coast Guard approved vessel, perfect for any kind of Hawaii sailing. Whether it’s an intimate sunset sail for two, an adventurous day-sail with family and friends, whale watching, entertaining business colleagues, watching sunrise over Diamond Head, saying “I do” under a full moon…the reasons to go sailing on “Kaikiwi” are endless and the experience will most probably be the highlight of your Hawaii vacation.

When is the best time to go sailing in Hawaii?

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 of day is a good time to go sailing…✨SUNRISE, morning, afternoon, SUNSET.✨  It is all good. 

“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.

What does “Kaikiwi” mean?

“Kai” in Hawaiian means “salt water”; “kiwi”… enough said (unless you are unfamiliar with the global nickname for a New Zealander). “Salt water kiwi” perfectly sums up the captain and her beloved 42-ft Beneteau :-).

Don’t Dream your Life, Live your Dream

Don’t Dream your Life, Live your Dream

So, again, when is the best time to sail your very own Hawaii Private Sailboat charter? EVERY TIME of day, all day long; LOL. I obviously am biased. After your time of day has been chosen, some people prefer the beginning of their vacation to relax into it by hanging back and just listening to the wind and enjoying their on-board company; others choose a day-sail according to what they feel might be the biggest wind day because they want adrenaline; others sail their last evening to relax into their final sunset. There are a myriad of choices for a myriad of personalities. It truly is all good and can be customised. So, here is what else I have heard from clients:

  • This group sailed the first or second day of their vacation; after the sail it was stated: “anything after this is going to be boring!” (oh no! They did of course find plenty to excite them through their week. HOWEVER, we do all know hot exclamation in the moment !)
  • This group sailed the first day of their vacation: “What a terrific way to begin our vacation! We cannot wait for tomorrow”!
  • “Sailing with you has been the highlight of our vacation”. From groups who have been on island a few days through to their very last day. Extremely sad to be leaving they ask: “Can we come back tomorrow PLEASE”. Cute. Do come back, yes, or next year!! (I have had a group who had so much fun they did come back “tomorrow”; another “next week”.)
  • “What an incredible way to finish our vacation ..the best activity, the best day of them all. THE HIGHLIGHT. ” Final-day vacationers.

Scattering ashes at Sea in Hawaii

Hawaii has a strong spiritual energy both on and off the ocean so it is no surprise that a farewell at sea is a healing and soothing way to help say goodbye and help you to have strength as you begin this life change.

Call Sail Blue Hawaii for your custom ash scattering at sea.  Let us know about your loved one and how you want to celebrate their life.

What time of day should we sail?

A gentle sunrise cruise is popular. A great way to greet your new day and celebrate your loved one. “Kaikiwi” has lots of shade so time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure.
So, a day-sail is also a good choice. Sunset cruising is very popular. All are options for your private Hawaii ash scattering. Remember your loved one as your captain sails your private sail boat upon Oahu’s stunning azure waters. Take your time, there is no rush.

Gone from my sight.

 “I am standing upon the seashore. A ship spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. 

She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!”

“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all.  She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her approach and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
“Here she comes!”
And that is dying.

– Henry Van Dyke, a 19th Century clergyman, educator, poet, and religious writer
