Waikiki’s BEST Boat Tour

It’s hot. Its summer. How best to escape the heat than to get on your own private yacht and enjoy Waikiki’s BEST boat tour. Private sailing (you are not sharing the boat with another group) on “Kaikiwi”, the 42 ft Beneteau 411 featured here on my website, has lots of shade so time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure. It also has lots of space for “bow babes” to soak up the sun and get that rich Hawaiian sun tan. “Kaikiwi” is your yacht for however long you want to sail.

Enjoy a cooling Hawaii trade wind sail.

Feel the fresh trade wind cooling you off immediately as we set sail (YES, we actually DO sail) from Kewalo Basin, 2 miles west of Waikiki. 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 balmy year-round trade winds, so, any time is a good time to go sailing…..✨✨enjoy a magical SUNRISE cruise, a full sail morning and afternoon adventure sail, or a romantic/ peaceful SUNSET cruise.✨✨.  It is all good. 

Sail BLUE Hawaii does not have a liquor license, so please do bring your beverage of choice to help keep you hydrated and COOL (water is supplied). There is ice and a cooler on board for your convenience.

Why choose a sailing charter?

Any occasion is a great one to get out sailing on Hawaiian waters, to enjoy some relaxing and refreshing ocean time, privately and with loved ones. You are NOT sailing with “49 of your closest friends”. 30-60 pax boats, sailing masses of strangers together, seem to have taken over our waters. Sail BLUE Hawaii offers an intimate and exciting atmosphere where you can lay back and catch up with friends and family. Or just spend some quiet and reflective time on your own at the bow. Yes, this is custom sailing…your choice of gentle or adventurous…your captain LISTENS to your specific request.

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or have never been on a sail boat before, the “oh yes” you feel ( or murmur or SHOUT!) when the sails are set and that engine is turned off is real. I hear the sighs of peace/ relief every time…sailor and newbie alike. No engine, much peace. So, say goodbye to the noisy, smelly motorised boat tours that speed through the waves giving you whiplash (and others boat wake :-() ) and are so annoyingly noisy..so much so you can’t even sit back and relax and chat.

Sign up for Sail BLUE Hawaii’s custom private charter, Waikiki’s best boat tour, the one with NO engine noise and smells because, yes, we actually SAIL.

Hawaii’s BEST July 4th Boat Charter

Enjoy Hawaii’s BEST July 4th boat charter…whether you are local (or, ESPecially if you are local !!) or tourist, you will not regret sailing with Sail BLUE Hawaii. The experience may well be the highlight of your HI vacation or the end of your work week.

Where do we go?

“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.

Because this is custom sailing, we can sail any time of day you want and whatever length of time you wish. Our islands are almost consistently graced with trade winds so any time is a good time to go sailing…✨✨✨magical SUNRISE cruise, full-sail morning and afternoon, romantic/ peaceful SUNSET cruise.✨✨✨ It is all good. 

July 4th Fireworks

The Waikiki fireworks show that were especially dynamic, are still not happening after a long break since the pandemic. If you wish to see fireworks from your private yacht, they will appear from far away; after the 8pm Hilton show. Worth staying out late for? Maybe. Either way, choose your time of day and enjoy your day off by laying back on your private sailing charter. Choose Sail BLUE Hawaii, Hawaii’s BEST custom July 4th private boat charter.

Honolulu Private Boat Tour, Hawaii

Site Icon

Private boat tours in Hawaii are available with Sail Blue Hawaii. Weekends and holidays fill quickly so plan ahead and book today. A private boat tour in Waikiki is affordable and highly desired. Our private yacht is spacious featuring covered and open air seating as well as an onboard restroom. Your experienced captain will ensure your safety and enjoyment.

Chose a Waikiki Private Sailing Charter

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. A client this week was concerned if we left at 0800 for a 3-hour sail we wouldn’t have enough wind. So much sailing, anywhere in the world, relies on the afternoon seabreeze. The fact is, we rely on tradewinds and not sea/land breezes. This makes Hawaii sailing unique and desirable, ANY TIME OF DAY. His concern was also the mid-day heat. “Kaikiwi” has lots of shade, so, time of day does not affect heat/ sun exposure.

Private Waikiki Boat Tours

Sail Blue Hawaii’s tours are for both tourists and locals. Sunset cruises, sunrise cruising, tradewind day-sailing, coastline sightseeing and Friday night fireworks are among the most popular tours in Waikiki. Birthday celebrations and life memorials are also very popular. We accommodate a wide range of special events aboard.

So, give Sail Blue Hawaii a call for your own private boat tour in Hawaii.

Full sail or boat tour; the choice is yours

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.
