The Best Sailing Tour in Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to go sailing—warm trade winds, clear water, dolphins, turtles, and dramatic coastlines on every island. Whether you’ve never sailed before or you are an “old salt”, the best Oahu sailing tour is, without doubt, the one Sail Blue Hawaii offers: an authentic sailing experience. Whether you choose a full-sail day-sail, sunset romance, sunrise cruising, sailing “just because”, “no-reason” sailing, this is REAL sailing; custom PRIVATE sailing. You get to choose; it’s entirely up to you, whatever your vibe is. (Do understand the use of “you” throughout this post refers to “you and yours”.)

What is an authentic sailing experience?

Do we really sail? YES! with Sail Blue HI, unlike other “sailing charter” companies who boast “sailing”, sails are hoisted once clear of the channel and are doused (“struck”) around the same salty place at the end of your sailing charter. Same is true even on a romantic sunset cruise when the sail plan is lighter to align with the relaxing sunset-hour vibe.

Why your sailing tour in Hawaii is so special

Let me count the ways LOL:

  • It’s super easy to get to Kewalo Basin (Honolulu) where your 42-ft Beneteau “KAIKIWI”, the best-kept charter boat in the islands, awaits YOU.
  • This is a PRIVATE sail…that on its own is so very very special. Leave the Waikiki crowds behind or on that catamaran following you out the channel. Those folks on the crowded cat are jealous of your beautiful space.
  • Whether a full-sail day-sail, a sunrise sail, a special event sail, or an evening sunset sail, it is a perfect, low-effort sailing experience for you. What a vacation!

But that is not all:

  • NO engine; NO exhaust fumes. Just the beautiful, peaceful sounds of waves lapping against the hull and the wind in the sails. What we all need today is this kind of peace. You and yours deserve this pleasure. Yes you do!

Skip the lines. Choose the best sailing tour in Hawaii. Dive into your sailing adventure NOW. Or book for next week, next month. It may well be the highlight of your HI vacation.

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.

Private Sailing Charter Hawaii

Because this is a custom PRIVATE sailing charter, 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. 

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.

With warm aloha, Capt. Gaelyn (808) 347-0235

Let’s Go Hawaii Sailing

When you get to your hotel room, even before!, and settle in, the first thing you do, I guarantee, is look out at our azure blue pacific ocean. It just pulls you in.  Then the idea occurs: let’s go for a private sailing charter; let’s go Hawaii sailing. Wave the Waikiki tour bus goodbye. Book Sail Blue Hawaii for your day-sail adventure. You will not be disappointed.

Highlight of our Hawaii vacation

I’ve heard that a lot. I heard it again this week:

Thank you, Capt. Gaelyn.  It was indeed a great experience for all of us.   Certainly, the highlight of our trip to Oahu…..- guests from LA and Germany

Such a simple statement but it means the world to me. All the hard work to keep the boat sparkling clean: the wax waxed, the stainless stainless, the rig safe, the sails solid, the hull clean; on it goes. Few people know what to takes to make a boat the “best-kept charter boat in the islands.” All that hard work and all it takes is that simple statement to know it is all worth it. Your joy becomes my joy.

Kaikiwi is upper right..sailing south (to Tahiti, we wish LOL)

The Best Day-Sail !

The photo’s story: My LA client was going to hike Diamond Head after his charter. I said “look for me”. He did… and… he found me. From the top of Diamond Head with his best lens: there is Kaikiwi, full sail. In the original photo, the zoom-in capacity is brilliant. The hazey grey in the photo is the vog coming from the Big Island’s volcanic activity.

Don’t Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream

Email Sail Blue Hawaii today for your custom quote. The choice is all yours:

a sunrise cruise, an adventure day-sail, a sunset cruise, a whale sail (whale watch, if lucky), an any-type-of sailing charter!. Let’s go Hawaii sailing.
