Hawaii Private Sailing “off the beaten track”

Set the tone (adventure, romance, fast sailing, slow easy sailing…) for your New Year and book a Hawaii private sailing charter A client this week (I am always interested, of course, how customers navigate to my site) said he had searched ” ‘un-touristy’ sailing charter”. ha ha. I love that Sail Blue Hawaii is thought of as different, AND un-touristy! Indeed, Sail Blue Hawaii does offer a different ocean experience than the many many catamaran tours (you’ll find online) where you “sail” with 59 of your closest friends. A novel approach another customer took to find exactly what she wanted was by the use of A.I “CoPilot”. Her request was immediately answered with the details sought and the suggestion of: “email capt.gaelyn@sailbluehawaii.com”. Do just that and you’ll find that we are priced right to get you out there.

5 best ideas that makes Sail Blue Hawaii unique and different

  1. We raise sails at the beginning of your charter and sail the entire time. For Hawaii, where many others motor or motor-sail, this is a unique treat. Sailors love this, as does everyone else…newbies too. Welcome aboard a true sailing charter.
  2. You have a uniquely private sailing charter. This means it’s only you and your family group. Perfect for romantic couples and celebrations too. No flu-bugs here.
  3. This is custom sailing. Unlike other companies who have a strict timetable, you can sail any time of day you want and whatever length of time you wish. No one else on island offers this: you are limited to their schedule. Our islands are mostly graced with consistent trade winds so any time is a good time to go sailing.
  4. Sailing lessons are offered for those wanting the taste. When else could one have the opportunity to put their hands on the wheel of a beautiful pricey yacht? Certainly no one else in Hawaii offers sailing lessons without you first signing up for the rigid ASA program on sub-par sailboats.
  5. You get to bring your own food and beverage. With today’s dietary needs, nothing is worse than having a pre-catered expensive menu, with foods you cannot eat, and having that cost hidden in your charter fee. You will appreciate this too if you have keiki.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR

by setting sail with Sail Blue Hawaii. You can navigate to the website with tag “un-touristy” sailing and/or using A.I. with your unique request. You’ll leave the chaos of snorkeling with a hundred others to others and appreciate the QUIET and PEACE of true sailing. There is no crowd as you leave the tour bus and the overloaded tour catamaran behind. The wind is our engine and the ocean is our song. You will not be disappointed with your choice of Hawaii’s best private sailing “off the beaten track”.

NO RULES! Bananas on board is OK with me 🙂

Start Keiki Young on Hawaii Private Sailing Charters

A potential client the other day asked about the child age limit for a Hawaii private sailing charter. When I said “there is no limit” he signed up immediately for a day-sail, 6 family members on board. The keiki had a blast and, with life jackets on, with an adult, the little ones gleefully sat on Kaikiwi’s forward deck. “The best seat in the house”, I call it. Sometimes you get wet, which often pumps the kids to laugh even more.

The Foredeck is not just for Keiki

Hawaii private sailing charters cover every type of request: proposal, saying “I Do”, sunrise cruise, adventure day-sail, (romantic) sunset cruise, sailing lessons, life celebrations and ash scattering. 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. Create your own adventure, any day, any time of day.

Let’s go Sailing in Hawaii

Sail Blue Hawaii on Oahu provides an unparalleled sailing experience, offering guests the chance to explore the island’s breathtaking coastlines and clear azure blue waters. Whether it’s a romantic sunset cruise, a private sunrise cruise, a tradewind sailing adventure, or a relaxing day-sail, Sail Blue Hawaii’s knowledgeable captain ensures a personalized and memorable journey across Oahu’s stunning seascape. Let’s go sailing in Hawaii !

What kind of vessel will we be sailing?

Your safety and comfort are our number one concern: our vessels meet all U.S. Coast Guard inspection requirements.

Kaikiwi is a 42-foot Beneteau 411 and a wonderful sailing machine for Hawaiian waters. She is well proven: Capt. Gaelyn sailed her home from Mexico with two crew and was delighted with the way she handled in all conditions.

Kaikiwi  is offered for day-sailing only (up to 6 passengers). Inter-island/ overnight charters are NOT currently offered. Larger vessels, for 7 + passengers, are also available for all DAY-sailing occasions and custom cruising. 

Kaikiwi  has lots of shade so time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure. Sailing in summer months is very very comfortable even in the middle of the day.

“DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAM”

I am surprised by the number of clients who come to me and say “I’ve always dreamed of sailing but never had the chance until now”. Or, “all my life I have wanted to learn how to sail. Thank you Sail Blue HI for introducing me to sailing by offering me a top-notch CUSTOMIZED sailing lesson. Wow. I want more”. A sailing lesson is a beautiful gift to give at birthdays or Christmas. It will be remembered for a life-time as a highlight. Gift certificates are available for any kind of sailing.

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”.

“This is the best time I have had in my entire life.”
-Kaelyn, age 7, CA

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 lessons: Help 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
perfect tradewind sailing

Choose an adventurous day-sail as the photo suggests, or a gentle sail…the whole spectrum is available, any time of day, any length of time. Just communicate your wish when you email
