The Perfect Hawaii Sunset Cruise Experience

I was going to write about something else this week, but last night changed my mind during the most perfect Hawaii sunset cruise. What made it perfect? The conditions were awesome with the 12-18 knot trade winds that Hawaii is known for. But so much more than that: a husband wishing to celebrate his wife and mother’s day with their adult children. It was a surprise for her but not the family. They were all “mum”, so to speak, and did brilliantly. “Mum” did not know what was happening until she was driven to the harbour and walked to Kaikiwi, Sail Blue Hawaii’s beautiful Beneteau 42. What a privilege for me to share their special evening.

Celebrate Special Moments aboard Hawaii’s Best Private Sailing Charters

Because this is custom sailing, you 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 or afternoon cruise, romantic/ peaceful SUNSET cruise.✨✨✨ It is all good. And recently we’ve been having those most perfect conditions allowing us to sail way outside the Diamond Head line.

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 reasons to choose a Private Hawaii Sunset Cruise

Honolulu sunset sailing: a beautiful time of day to be on the water. What can be more romantic than sunset aboard a sailboat on the Pacific Ocean. You will want to experience a sunset cruise during your vacation in Waikiki. Here are the 5 best Hawaii sunset cruise ideas:

Honolulu’s Best Sunset Cruise

  1. Have you ever seen the green flash? On your private sunset sail, this may well be what captures your joy the most. There are theories about what makes the green flash. Check them out online. I have seen more than my share of this delicious phenomenon on numerous sunset sails.
  2. The other evening, my charterer pulled off an especially perfect surprise sunset cruise for his girlfriend. She had no idea she was about to go sailing until she got to the dock. She had always expressed a desire to be on a private sail boat/ a private boat tour. It was with teary eyes she climbed on board.
  3. Of course, saying “I do” is particularly romantic at sunset: a private yacht, just the two of you and the captain. YES, this is the perfect reason to choose a sunset cruise. Sail on a Friday evening and enjoy a fireworks display just for you! A combined sunset and fireworks cruise is a highlight…how can she say anything but “yes”in this most romantic ambiance.
  4. A life celebration/ ash scattering is particularly special in the easy sunset hours. Your sunset sail with family and friends will stay in your mind forever as you remember and celebrate your loved one.
  5. Of course, you need no reason at all to choose a Hawaii sunset cruise. It is the best time of a day. Sail out there and enjoy all that Hawaii’s beauty has to offer.

Call Sail Blue Hawaii today and sign up for your own private sunset cruise. If you are especially lucky, in the winter months, your private sunset cruise may well turn into whale watching! This Hawaii Sunset Cruise could well be the highlight of ANY vacation.
