Hawaii’s BEST Tradewind Sailing

Sai! Blue Hawaii offers a full range of sailing options; from casual sightseeing boat tours to special occasions (weddings, proposals at sea) to Hawaii’s BEST tradewind sailing. Whether you have never stepped foot on a sailboat before (exciting first time !!) or you are an old salt, your private sailing charter is catered to you. (Visit the “Let’s go Sailing” page for ideas.)

Where do we sail to?

“Kaikiwi” sails from Oahu’s (protected) south shore, near 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. We do look for mermaids too. The first to see one gets a free boat ride. 🙂
Beautiful views of Oahu, Diamond Head and, on clear days, far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. Please understand this is not “destination” sailing.  “Destination” is sailing.

Whoever needs to arrive to be happy?

Other companies may pop a little sail out but mostly motor-sail. Sai! Blue Hawaii offers REAL sailing. Who needs a theme park when you can do this for real?

Hawaii’s Best Private Sailing Charter

When you book Hawaii’s best private sailing charter, it may well be the highlight of your HI vacation (locals invited too!!). It is truly astonishing how many times my clients have said that to me. That is thrilling. It is exactly why I have worked so hard to give people the best-kept charter vessel in the islands, AND provide the best private sailing charter experience. That was my goal when I set up up Sail Blue Hawaii LLC, and bought my beloved “Kaikiwi”.

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 beautiful 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, NOW!, 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.
  • perhaps you’ve just flown in from the East Coast and Waikiki doesn’t wake up early enough for you. Let’s catch an exceptional time of day: 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 at sea:  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 lessonsHelp 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.
  • memorials, ash scatterings and life celebrations
