Oahu private sailing charter

While visiting Hawaii, treat yourselves to an Oahu private sailing charter. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu, the wind is our engine and the ocean is our playground. I always say the best way to see Waikiki is from a distance. 😎 Everyone agrees.

Where are we going?

“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. 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.

Just yesterday the air was so clear, it was magical. We could even see as far as Maui…straight through the channel to Lahaina. That happens once in a blue moon.

Speaking of Lahaina and Maui. Our hearts continue to break as the impacts reach further and deeper, far and wide. Please check out where you can help our families and businesses there. I don’t single out a particular organisation, but there is a list on my website. Please give where you can and PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL YOUR HAWAII VACATION. WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER NOW.

When should we 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 trade winds so any time is a good time to go sailing…✨choose a SUNRISE cruise, a morning or afternoon adventure, or a relaxing SUNSET cruise.✨  It is all good.

“It was sheer joy! Everything was perfect;  the water, the sky, the wind, the fish and the dolphins!!

When should we sail?

Some sail at the beginning of their vacation to sail, often choosing an adventurous day-sail. Others prefer the end of their vacation. What better way to end your vacation than with a relaxing sunset sai?. Those who sail at the begining of their charter have said: “anything after this will be boring”. Those who end their vacation with a private sailing charter have said “sailing with Capt. Gaelyn has been the highlight of our Hawaii vacation.”

Reviews of Sail Blue Hawaii

You can go to my review tab, or see what Yelp and Trip Advisor have to say. Among the words carefully chosen have been:

“part of hidden Hawaii”
“off the beaten track”
“I have never felt so alive”
“memory of a lifetime”
“one of Hawaii’s secret jewels”

“Captain Gaelyn, sailing with you was the highlight of our Hawaiian vacation.”

I have been thinking about Maui so much. I’ve had the privilege to sail to and from, anchor off of, Lahaina many times. One stunning sunrise, on the hook, some years back:

Hawaii Sailing Lesson

Giving the gift of a Hawaii sailing lesson will truly be a lifetime highlight. Whether you are a local or a visitor, you’ll be enchanted by sailing in Hawaii tradewinds. Your lesson begins at 0800 and builds as the wind builds.

Why Hawaii for a sailing lesson?

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.

So, before you go buy that boat, come sailing with me and begin or continue learning the skills that will gain you confidence and give you a whole bunch of joy as you succeed. Your time “out there” with me will also give you a taste of what true blue-water sailing is all about.

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.

This could be your wheel time. Call Sail Blue Hawaii for your Hawaii private sailing lesson.

Let’s Go Hawaii Sailing

Kaikiwi sails from Oahu’s south shore. You will embark at Kewalo Basin boat harbor, not far from Waikiki beach hotels. We sail past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific. The south shore is the protected side of Oahu: calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect sailing destination.

Why Go Sailing off Oahu?

Common marine wildlife sightings on Oahu are, for example, Hawaiian green sea turtles, “honu”, dolphins, “nai’a”, and humpback whales, “kohola” (in winter season only). In addition, flying fish, “malolo” are some of the critters we may see as we sail about the island.

Incredible Sights While Sailing

Beautiful breathtaking views of Diamond Head are just one of the highlights while sailing Oahu. On clear days, although far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not destination sailing, destination is sailing!

When should we go sailing?

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. 

Kaikiwi happy at anchor.

Your Hawaii Marriage Proposal

Why a Hawaii marriage proposal? The Hawaiian Islands are known as a romantic archipelago. You will feel romance the minute you step off the plane…the balmy tradewind, the scent of plumeria in the air, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, the azure blue waters lapping the beautiful white sand beaches. So, what better place on the planet than Hawaii for your proposal of a lifetime?.

Hawaii proposal at sea.

You cannot be any more romantic when you propose to your loved one while sailing into the sunset. Saying “YES” under a tropical sky, on your own private yacht, will be a memory of a lifetime. It is a stunning way to begin your commitment to each other. Of course, you don’t need the sunset to complete your proposal: 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.

Saying “yes” is just the beginning!

May the love you share today be just as strong every day in the years to come. You will look back on your Hawaii proposal on s/v Kaikiwi as not just the highlight of your Hawaii vacation, but the highlight of your lives. Your private Hawaii marriage proposal will set the tone of your lives together as you sail off into the beautiful pacific waters off Oahu.

I have sailed many a couple and witnessed their Hawaii proposal. Every single one gives me chicken skin. It is an honour. Call Sail Blue Hawaii to book your Hawaii marriage proposal at sea.
