Learn to sail in Hawaii

The Louis Vuitton Cup is at this moment being sailed in Barcelona. Whether you’re an avid Cup follower and know a bit or a lot about sailing, or just interested in sailing lessons to learn the ropes, Sail Blue Hawaii can give you a lesson at your level. By the way, the LVC leads up to the America’s Cup, the most exciting event in yacht racing. Well worth watching at any stage of sailing know-how.

Talking about “learning the ropes”

Choose Sail Blue Hawaii for a genuine sailing lesson aboard your own private yacht. Talking about “learning the ropes,” the first thing you learn in sailing 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 sailing, does indeed have its own language and it is learned over time by just being around sailors and being onboard. Sit back and listen and you can learn a lot through osmosis. OR, participate, ask questions, and learn with hands-on, and you will soon be talking this language too. What fun!

You can understand from the way these docklines above are tied what kind of boater each is. You can even maybe sum up how they handle their boat and, perhaps, how “bristol” (shipshape) their boat is. Two different styles, indeed! I know whose boat I want to sail on.

Come on over to Sail Blue Hawaii….

…. for some Oahu sailing. If you don’t care for a sailing lesson, GREAT!..just 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 Proposal at Sea

Definition of romance: chartering your private yacht to propose to your loved one while in Hawaii. Imagine saying “YES” while sailing into the sunset.

Sail Sunset on Valentine’s Day

This Valentine’s Day was a highlight for me. I have been running private charters for many years now but this one stands out. The young couple, delighted in each other, chose to spend their time on the forward deck…what I call the “best seat in the house”. Not long into our sunset sail, a whale breeched, some distance from us but still out-of-this-world spectacular. We spent the two hours enjoying 2 whale groups as they swam and played in Mamala Bay. Honolulu, Hawaii. Humpback whale sighting rules are strict here: keep a minimum 100 yard distance and do not change direction to follow them. No worries! We just sailed our track and the whales theirs and the show went on. The couple I took sailing earlier in the day have been thrilled daily by whale sightings from their Waikiki lanai. But there is NOTHING better than seeing them from your Hawaii private yacht.

Dolphins too!

Yep. As if the humpbacks weren’t thrilling enough, the Hawaiian spinner dolphins came out to play. Usually in my sailing area, dolphins cruise by around 10 in the morning. So imagine the thrill of this huge pod swimming in Kaikiwi’s bow wake, frolicking and spinning all around us. WOW! As sunset came on, he asked, she said “YES”! How could you not after a show like this?

Private Hawaii Sailing Charter

While sailing off the Oahu coastline, we often see Hawaiian green sea turtles lazing in the sun, dolphins jumping the bow, whales (winter only) spouting off to starboard, and the stunning shine of Venus at sunset. Leave Waikiki and the crowds behind. Step onto your own private yacht and enjoy the ride of your life. The wind is our engine as we sail the beautiful azure blue Pacific waters. The sound of the ocean will thrill. You can choose a magical sunrise cruise, an adventurous tradewind day-sail, a romantic sunset cruise; depending on your preferences and schedules…anything is available for any occasion.

Why a private sailing charter?

Your private sailing charter in Hawaii is perfect for intimate gatherings, family vacations, or romantic getaways.

What will we see?

The stunning coastal landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the chance to see marine wildlife up close makes your private sailing charter an unforgettable experience. However, it’s essential to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability and secure your preferred sailing date.
