Hawaii Sailing Lesson

Giving the gift of a Hawaii sailing lesson will truly be a lifetime highlight. Whether you are a local or a visitor, you’ll be enchanted by sailing in Hawaii tradewinds. Your lesson begins at 0800 and builds as the wind builds.

Why Hawaii for a sailing lesson?

Sailing is clouded in romance. Many people dream of a life of sailing and the adventure of perhaps one day sailing to distant shores. The reality is often different than the dream and this is important to understand.

So, before you go buy that boat, come sailing with me and begin or continue learning the skills that will gain you confidence and give you a whole bunch of joy as you succeed. Your time “out there” with me will also give you a taste of what true blue-water sailing is all about.

You don’t have to have the dream of distant shores to sign up for a lesson…you can begin by taking up sailing as a day-hobby.

Do you have someone in your life who has always had an itch to try sailing but has never had the opportunity? Buy him/her a gift certificate for a private sailing lesson. It will be the best present they have ever had!

Whatever your goal is, the lesson will fit.

This could be your wheel time. Call Sail Blue Hawaii for your Hawaii private sailing lesson.

Let’s Go Hawaii Sailing

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 off 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!

When should we go sailing?

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…✨SUNRISE, morning, afternoon, SUNSET.✨  It is all good. 

Kaikiwi happy at anchor.

Your Hawaii Marriage Proposal

Why a Hawaii marriage proposal? The Hawaiian Islands are known as a romantic archipelago. You will feel romance the minute you step off the plane…the balmy tradewind, the scent of plumeria in the air, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, the azure blue waters lapping the beautiful white sand beaches. So, what better place on the planet than Hawaii for your proposal of a lifetime?.

Hawaii proposal at sea.

You cannot be any more romantic when you propose to your loved one while sailing into the sunset. Saying “YES” under a tropical sky, on your own private yacht, will be a memory of a lifetime. It is a stunning way to begin your commitment to each other. Of course, you don’t need the sunset to complete your proposal: 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…✨SUNRISE, morning, afternoon, SUNSET✨.  It is all good.

Saying “yes” is just the beginning!

May the love you share today be just as strong every day in the years to come. You will look back on your Hawaii proposal on s/v Kaikiwi as not just the highlight of your Hawaii vacation, but the highlight of your lives. Your private Hawaii marriage proposal will set the tone of your lives together as you sail off into the beautiful pacific waters off Oahu.

I have sailed many a couple and witnessed their Hawaii proposal. Every single one gives me chicken skin. It is an honour. Call Sail Blue Hawaii to book your Hawaii marriage proposal at sea.

Honolulu Life Celebration

Sail Blue Hawaii is deeply honoured to help facilitate your special time of life celebration and aloha. It’s not an easy losing a loved one but being out on the beautiful Pacific Ocean is restorative and healing.

Ash Scattering at sea off Oahu

It’s easy to understand why you would want to celebrate your loved one on a private yacht on the blue Pacific waters off Oahu. Hawaii has a strong spiritual energy both on and off the ocean. A farewell at sea is a healing and soothing way to say goodbye and begin anew.

Customise your Hawaii Ash Scattering

If you would like to include your pastor, or other, to conduct a service and/or blessing for you, please do. If you have no connections here, reach out and I can give you some suggestions. Perhaps you’d like to sail longer than just the time it takes to celebrate and scatter. You are welcome to an extended cruise. What time of day is best? Because this is custom sailing, we can sail any time of day you want and whatever length of time you wish.
