Start Keiki Young on Hawaii Private Sailing Charters

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

Hawaii private sailing charters cover every type of request: proposal, saying “I Do”, sunrise cruise, adventure day-sail, (romantic) sunset cruise, sailing lessons, life celebrations and ash scattering. 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. Create your own adventure, any day, any time of day.

Scattering Ashes at Sea in Hawaii

If you are open to it, you can feel the healing power of Hawaii the minute you land. The floral smells, the sounds of waves lapping on the shore, the stunning scenery, the deep azure blue of the Pacific Ocean, the sunrise, the sunset…all the senses created will cradle you as you scatter your loved one at sea in Hawaii. The magic is always there. You just have to tap into it.

Life Celebration at Sea in Hawaii.

There are many stories to be told as you scatter ashes and celebrate your loved one’s life. Perhaps I should publish one, of all the many I have heard, once a week?

‘Aumakua

In Hawaiian mythology, an ʻaumakua is a family or personal god that is a deified ancestor. ʻAumakua are believed to protect and guide their families. 

ʻAumakua comes from the Hawaiian words au, meaning “period of time” or “era,” and makua, meaning “parent,” “parent generation” or “ancestor.” ‘Aumakua are beings of both a heavenly and an earthly nature. They are here to help, inspire, guide and communicate with family members.

Why do I mention ‘Aumakua?

Because a small group chartered the boat to scatter ashes and celebrate Ron’s life. Ron’s ‘aumakua (“spirit animal”, in haole terms) is a turtle. You can guess what happened next…!!!YES!!!….During the very moving ceremony, a turtle appeared near us. It stayed and listened. Ron was definitely with us in spirit.  This is what we call a “chicken skin” moment and was accompanied by tears.

Bring it all to Hawaii and charter Kaikiwi at your favourite time of day. Scatter your loved one’s ashes, slowly, into that azure ocean. Celebrate and remember. Talk story.

Sail Blue HI, the highlight of all your Hawaii adventures. Let’s go sailing!
