The Best Sailing Tour in Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to go sailing—warm trade winds, clear water, dolphins, turtles, and dramatic coastlines on every island. Whether you’ve never sailed before or you are an “old salt”, the best Oahu sailing tour is, without doubt, the one Sail Blue Hawaii offers: an authentic sailing experience. Whether you choose a full-sail day-sail, sunset romance, sunrise cruising, sailing “just because”, “no-reason” sailing, this is REAL sailing; custom PRIVATE sailing. You get to choose; it’s entirely up to you, whatever your vibe is. (Do understand the use of “you” throughout this post refers to “you and yours”.)

What is an authentic sailing experience?

Do we really sail? YES! with Sail Blue HI, unlike other “sailing charter” companies who boast “sailing”, sails are hoisted once clear of the channel and are doused (“struck”) around the same salty place at the end of your sailing charter. Same is true even on a romantic sunset cruise when the sail plan is lighter to align with the relaxing sunset-hour vibe.

Why your sailing tour in Hawaii is so special

Let me count the ways LOL:

  • It’s super easy to get to Kewalo Basin (Honolulu) where your 42-ft Beneteau “KAIKIWI”, the best-kept charter boat in the islands, awaits YOU.
  • This is a PRIVATE sail…that on its own is so very very special. Leave the Waikiki crowds behind or on that catamaran following you out the channel. Those folks on the crowded cat are jealous of your beautiful space.
  • Whether a full-sail day-sail, a sunrise sail, a special event sail, or an evening sunset sail, it is a perfect, low-effort sailing experience for you. What a vacation!

But that is not all:

  • NO engine; NO exhaust fumes. Just the beautiful, peaceful sounds of waves lapping against the hull and the wind in the sails. What we all need today is this kind of peace. You and yours deserve this pleasure. Yes you do!

Skip the lines. Choose the best sailing tour in Hawaii. Dive into your sailing adventure NOW. Or book for next week, next month. It may well be the highlight of your HI vacation.

5 best private sailing charter ideas

  1. Celebrate Dad!. On Sunday, I had the delight of taking a family of six out on an eight-hour privater sailing charter. “Eight hours?’ you say “way too long”. Yes for many, but not this family. The day dawned glorious and with flat seas and light wind we throw off the bowlines and sailed south without a care in the world. As the private sailing charter progressed, the winds increased but stayed moderate even outside the notorious Diamond Head windline. What a spectacular day. “This was my best Father’s Day yet. Mahalo for making it so special”. My pleasure!

2. Celebrate LOVE. Last week, at sunset, John brought his girlfriend aboard Kaikiwi for their very own private sailing charter. It was a surprise for her but that wasn’t the only surprise she was getting that evening. There was a ring involved. Just before sunset, he got down on his knee ( a hard thing to do on a moving sail boat) and proposed. She said “YES!!” You too can make your proposal the highlight of your lifetime by choosing a private sunset cruise. Sailing is the most romantic type of boating.

A birthday surprise sailing charter will be remembered forever

3. Celebrate a birthday. Carmen called me to book a private sailing charter as a surprise for her husband’s birthday and what a surprise it was. He had tears in his eyes as he boarded Kaikiwi. He had always wanted to sail, had watched videos and talked about it as a dream but never thought he could have it. Carmen made it happen and they will be back for more sailing.

4. Celebrate your Hawaii vacation. Perhaps you have never sailed before and the thought of it is hugely outside your comfort zone. An easy boat tour may be all you want and I can certainly accommodate that. Whether or not we raise sail, we can do an easy boat tour up the coast to check out the island of Oahu from a different angle and her marine life! Just explain your booking needs when you call and you will be completely taken care of.

5. Celebrate life. If you are a serious sailor, a full sail private sailing charter is for you! Yes, this is where we go full out, heel over and let the wind take Kaikiwi to her finest sailing ability. She is a perfect sailing machine for Hawaii waters.

Give Sail Blue Hawaii a call for all your boating needs and you will have your own private sailing charter customized just for you.

Full sail or boat tour? Your choice!
