Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

Sail Blue Hawaii has been blessed with many wonderful reviews proving it to be the best Honolulu private sailing charter. Recently I took a family on a day-sail. It was the first day of their Hawaii vacation. “Everything after this is going to be boring” a family member said in the middle of a brilliant day of sailing. I certainly hope the rest of their vacation was not boring, and I am sure it wasn’t, but I did love the comment.

-Virginia, Kauai

“Captain Gaelyn, we just wanted to drop you a little note thanking you again for such a wonderful time last Thursday night.  The cruise was wonderful and more than we had hoped for.  It was really nice to get out and be a couple for a little while, instead of just mommy and daddy. Thank you again!!”

-Rupali, Yoga Hawaii, Honolulu

“We will never forget the absolute magic and perfection of our wedding aboard your sailboat.  Your warm and friendly welcome made us feel immediately at ease and at home .

Many, many thanks for a lovely day.  It was perfect: lovely boat, great sun and wind, and how you managed to arrange for the dolphin show is beyond me.  Great day!”
