“Kaikiwi” is a beautiful 42 ft Beneteau available for up to 6 passengers.
This has been a busy week for our humpback visitors as the season winds down for a Hawaii whale watch. I prefer to call it a “whale sail”: we set sail with the hope of seeing these gentle leviathans cruising our waters. February and March are the best for Oahu. The females come to the Lahaina area to have their calf and re-mate before heading back to their Alaska feeding grounds. We have the fortune of seeing mums and calves playing and gaining strength in our Waikiki waters before their 3000 mile trip north.
What time of day should we schedule our whale watch?
Because this is custom sailing, and humpback whales do not have a schedule, 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…✨book a SUNRISE cruise, a morning or afternoon day-sail, or our most popular SUNSET cruise ✨ It is all good for a whale sail.
Will we see marine life other than humpback whales?
“Kaikiwi” sails from Oahu’s south (protected) shore, not far from Honolulu, 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.
Sign up today for your private whale watch with Sail Blue Hawaii. A whale sail you’ll remember for a lifetime.
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.

“It was a fabulous afternoon with tradewind sailing at its best while enjoying our Hawaii whale watch. Captain Gaelyn managed to find two sets of mom and calf humpbacks in the bay. Our private sailing charter was also blessed with dolphins swimming in Kaikiwi’s bow wake. I had read on her website: “watch spinner dolphins surfing the bow wake” but thought that an exaggeration. Nope! much to our delight.”
Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter
“It is perfect in today’s world to sail with Sail Blue Hawaii. We choose Captain Gaelyn and her “Kaikiwi” because of her beautifully maintained sailboat and the “private” sailing charter. Keeping family safe while having fun on the ocean was our priority. Humpbacks, dolphins, turtles, flying fish… all in one fabulous balmy afternoon. When we wrote for information on her private sailing charter, she wrote back:

We didn’t miss out on one single thing in that very wordy paragraph. Cobalt blue blue? Understated! Wildlife? They were all out to play. Molokai and Lanai were both there, yes, in the distance. Destination? Sailing!”

There are many reasons to choose a private sailing charter in Hawaii.
You may never know why you go or how it will change you, but listen to this: last night my sunset cruise (repeat) clients said: last time, after their cruise with me, they went home and took up the boating life! Yep, they went and bought a boat! And have spent the last 4 years cruising the Chesapeake. I was thrilled to hear this. I am not saying after you sail with me you will go buy a boat. After all, the best boat to have is someone else’s. 🙂
What’s so thrilling about a boating lifestyle?
It’s not just romance but you sure can find that. It’s not just freedom but you sure will find that. It’s not just sunsets but you sure will soak them in…maybe even see the green flash. It’s not just rainbows but they will deliver your pot of gold. It’s not just hands on the wheel but YES, the wheel is yours. These are just glimpses of the boating life. Whether you are a sailor or a power boater, at the end of the day, it’s the magic there. You’ve sailed or powered to an anchorage far from everyday life. And this is therapy at its best.
