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.

5 BEST HONOLULU PRIVATE SAILING CHARTER IDEAS

Honolulu TRADEWIND sailing, where any time is a good time to be on the water. Highlight your Hawaii vacation aboard a sailboat on our beautiful cobalt blue Pacific Ocean. Here is our recommendation on SOME OF the MANY 5 best Honolulu private sailing charter ideas.

Private Sailing ideas; Waikiki, Hawaii

  1. A tradewind day-sail. 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 tradewinds so any time of day is a good time to go sailing…sunrise, morning, afternoon, or sunset. IT’S ALL GOOD!
  2. A sail to take in the beautiful views of Oahu and beyond. Outstanding views of Oahu, Diamond Head and, on clear days, far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not “destination” sailing.  “Destination” is sailing.
  3. A private day-sail to capture sightings of marine life. “Kaikiwi” sails from Oahu’s south (protected) shore, not far from Waikiki, past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific.  Wildlife such as green sea turtles, “honu”, dolphins, “nai’a”, humpback whales, “kohola” (in winter season only), and flying fish, “malolo” are some of the critters we may see as we sail.  (I believe we did see a mermaid one time; sh sh sh……………)
  4. Birthday celebrations at sea. What better way to celebrate that special day for that special someone than aboard a private yacht charter in Honolulu?
  5. Corporate Events. Celebrate with the team onboard a sailing yacht off the Honolulu coast. How better to raise morale and reward them for a job well done?

Many many ideas for your custom cruise are accepted and sailed

This was one beautiful day to sail around Diamond Head into Maunalua Bay. My guests got the last good sailing in before Oahu was rocked by a decent winter storm. Not all Sou’Westers are bad 😎. We were lucky. What a peaceful time.
