The sunset cruise, Hawaii’s best private sunset charter, was almost over. After a long, beautiful afternoon sail, we sailed gently into sunset hour. It’s that time when you go from the tranquility of sailing to turning the engine on and heading back in the channel. I always feel the disappointment in my charterers as I turn the engine on…the highlight of their Hawaii vacation is almost over.
We all thought the highlight would be the sunset
The couple, who were delighting in the beautiful moments of sunset, were sitting at the bow when I looked astern to check no one was behind me before I turned back to the channel and ohhhh…a large school of dolphins was swimming towards us. Sunset was astonishing but more astonishing were these dolphins who deliberately came to swim alongside Kaikiwi. So, I kept Kaikiwi heading towards sunset as the dolphins swam with us. As the sunset became more orange in its final moments, the Hawaiian spinner dolphins were doing what they do best…jumping and spinning and swimming alongside and around us, to the delight of my charterers. Dinner reservations were forgotten, the dolphins taking precedence. In my 30 years of being a charter boat captain, this was a highlight even for me. Check out why:
