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’s best private sunset charter

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:

5 top full moon/ sunset cruise ideas

A sail to remember for a lifetime is our sunset/ full moon cruise. There are so many reasons to get out on the water at this time of day. This could well be the highlight of your Hawaii vacation.

Honolulu full moon/sunset cruise..5 best reasons

  1. Celebrate a birthday. Nothing could be more special than to see the sun going down and the moon rising while you are sailing your birthday cruise.
  2. Propose to your intimate other. If you want to wow him/her with a moment to last a lifetime, choose the sunset/full moon cruise. Add to that the city lights and you have a moment that will last a lifetime. How can they possibly say anything but “YES!”
  3. Say “I DO”! What could be more romantic than having your wedding at sea. After your nuptials, the captain will sail you into the sunset. Take in the moment, then turn around to see the full moon rising over Diamond Head.
  4. Blue moon cruise. “Once in a blue moon”. What does that even mean? On an occasional month, (because the moon’s month is shorter than earth’s), the moon is full twice in one month. Enjoy a blue moon/ sunset/ city lights cruise in Honolulu. It will be unforgettable.
  5. You don’t need a reason to sail a sunset/full moon cruise. Just be there and the spectacular moments will be with you forever.

Give Sail Blue Hawaii a call and book your sailing charter now. Your full moon cruise/sunset cruise will be the highlight of your Hawaii vacation.

Honolulu’s 5 best private sailing charter ideas.

Honolulu’s best private sailing charter, where any time is a good time to be on the water. Highlight your Hawaii vacation aboard a sailboat in the pacific ocean.

  1. A tradewind 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 tradewinds so any time of day is a good time to go sailing…sunrise, morning, afternoon, or sunset! IT”S ALL GOOD!
  2. A private sailing charter will take in the beautiful views of Oahu and beyond. Beautiful views of Oahu, Diamond Head and, on clear days, far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not “destination” sailing.  “Destination” is sailing.

What will we see on our private Hawaii sailing charter?

3. A private day-sail captures sightings of marine life. “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.

4. Birthday celebrations at sea. What better way to celebrate that special day than aboard a private yacht charter in Honolulu?

5. Corporate Events. Celebrate with the team onboard a luxury sailing yacht in Honolulu. How better to raise moral and reward them for a job well done?

Sail Blue Hawaii caters to all: sailor or newbie. A private Honolulu sailing charter will be the highlight of your Hawaii vacation.
