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

Learn to sail in Hawaii

Whether you’re an avid sailor wishing to hone your skills or a newbie, you can learn to sail in Hawaii. Hawaii waters have some of the best sailing conditions on the planet. Learn the ropes with Sail Blue Hawaii and discover the excitement of yachting.

Talking about “learning the ropes,” the first thing you learn in boating is that they are “lines”, not “ropes”. A rookie shows who s/he is because their ease (or lack of) with the nautical language will give them away in a heartbeat. And, there is nothing wrong with being a rookie…we all start at the beginning. Boating, and especially during sailing lessons, does indeed have its own language. This language is learned over time by just being around sailors and by being onboard. Sit back and listen and you can learn a lot through osmosis. Participate, ask questions, listen and learn and you will soon be talking this language too. What fun!

Before you go buy that sailboat, come sail with me! Whether you are a beginner or need continued instruction, you’ll learn the important skills to gain confidence in Hawaiian waters.

Come on over to Sail Blue Hawaii for some Oahu sailing: sit back, relax, indulge yourself in a private sailing charter and the gift of “just being out there” and I bet you go home with some of that nautical language in your head, whether you want it there or not.

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.
