A Honolulu Private Sunset Cruise

It’s July and Hawaii’s tourism is back and everyone (almost) is signing up for and loving a private sunset cruise.

Last night’s sunset cruise was a celebration of a young man’s graduation and birthday. What a great way to celebrate and in your own safe bubble! Whether its a day-sail or a sunset cruise, there is nothing better than being out on the water. The peace and tranquility will treat you.

A private sailing charter to remember

Sailing on Kaikiwi last night, what we didn’t expect to see were rainbows. That’s a winter thing…this is July! The rainbows followed us most of our sunset cruise. They were powerful and beautiful and most of them were double.

Give Sail Blue Hawaii a call and sign up for your own private sunset cruise, whether to celebrate something special or to just BE…out on the water where everything is magical.

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!

Ash Scattering at Sea Honolulu, Hawaii

Hawaii has a strong spiritual energy both on and off the ocean so it is no surprise that a farewell at sea is a healing and soothing way to help say goodbye and begin anew.

Call for your custom ash scattering at sea.  Let us know about your loved one and how you want to celebrate their life.

Gone from my sight

 “I am standing upon the seashore. A ship spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. 

She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!”

“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all.  She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her approach and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
“Here she comes!”
And that is dying.“

– Henry Van Dyke, a 19th Century clergyman, educator, poet, and religious writer
