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.
Book a Waikiki private sunrise cruise
Maybe you’ve just flown in from the East Coast and Waikiki doesn’t wake up early enough for you. Let’s go sailing and catch sunrise over Diamond Head. It is possible that we’ll see dolphins in the beautiful morning light. Bring your favourite coffee and muffin. It’s so exciting to board in the pre-dawn hours and head out the channel in the dark. The anticipation of sunrise is palpable. Imagine, your own private sailboat, ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF VACATION, sailing towards one of the most famous landmarks on the planet, Diamond Head! It is exciting, thrilling, magical. AND this could be YOU!
The best way to start the day

-Mark Twain

That is thrilling. It is exactly why I have worked so hard to give people the best-kept charter vessel in the islands, AND the best private sailing charter experience.

Why choose a private sailing charter?
There are so many reasons, but let me name a few:
CoVid is still around. Your captain is vaccinated and boosted. How better to keep you and your loved ones safe. When you sail on “Kaikiwi”, a 42-ft Beneteau, you will feel so safe especially when you see the over-crowded catamarans.
delight in pure trade wind sailing any time of day for as many hours as you want.
whale sail. In winter, humpbacks are Hawaii’s most famous tourists, making their annual 3,500 mile trip from Alaska to the islands each December through April. We’ll set sail and hope to find these gentle leviathans.
birthday parties
corporate fun(ctions)
very popular: summer only; Friday night pau hana fireworks cruise. Combine this with sunset and you have the perfect cruise.
for romantics: sunset cruise: a beautiful time of day to be on the water.
maybe you’ve just flown in from the East Coast and Waikiki doesn’t wake up early enough for you. Let’s catch sunrise over Diamond Head. Maybe we’ll see dolphins in the beautiful morning light.
choose the one night of the month (or, the “blue moon” second night of the month) to sail from sunset to full moon. It is truly magical to see the full moon rise over Diamond Head after sailing into the sunset. Click moon phases to see full moon calendar.
when the moon is close to its new phase, we have fabulous star-gazing. Set sail for sunset and a night sail. In winter months, the iconic Southern Cross can be seen.
proposal: how more romantic can you get when you propose to your loved one while sailing into the sunset?
weddings for romantics: there’s nothing more special than saying “I do” under a tropical sky while sailing into the sunset. Your captain will marry you with a personalized service on your own private yacht.
renewal of vows: what a “wow” it is to say those vows again, to remember and re-ignite!
sailing lessons: Help set the sails and take the helm if you like as you learn the “ropes” of sailing. The first thing you learn: they are not ropes. They are “lines.” Captain Gaelyn will assist you to build your skills and confidence. For all levels of sailing experience.

“DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAM”
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.

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.
Even if you are the only one who wants to learn and you don’t wish to come alone, your friends/ family are welcome on board and can enjoy the sail while you learn.
Whether your dream is to sail the Waikiki coast or beyond that horizon (a multi-day charter is perfect for introducing you to all aspects of sailing and living aboard), your personalized lesson is waiting for you!
“You must have patience to learn the craft of sailing, which has set and orderly ways of doing each operation, schemes of success that have been polished for generations. Even the nautical vocabulary is specialized, for it is necessary to be able to describe every part of a vessel and to talk about each maneuver and action with unmistakable precision. You can learn the fundamentals quickly, but half a lifetime seems scarcely enough to perfect your techniques. A good sailor is always studying and learning and asking questions. People who travel and work on the sea tend to be literate souls who often write books. There is an astonishing library of nautical volumes that you can digest bit by bit to hurry your learning process. But in spite of the help to be got from books, you must learn about sailing at first hand. You do not become a seaman by reading. You need practice. You need to get your hands dirty” – HAL ROTH, after 50,000 miles
Is there an age limit? Nope. Best first mate yet! 🙂
