Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

Sailing In Oahu
Kaikiwi happy at anchor

Kaikiwi sails from Oahu’s south shore. You will embark at Kewalo Basin boat harbor, not far from Waikiki beach hotels. We sail past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific. The south shore is the protected side of Oahu: calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect sailing destination.

Why go sailing Oahu?

Common marine wildlife sightings on Oahu are for example, Hawaiian green sea turtles, honu, dolphins, nai’a, and humpback whales, kohola (in winter season only). In addition, flying fish, malolo are some of the critters we may see as we sail about the island.

Incredible sights while sailing

Beautiful breathtaking views of Diamond Head are just one of the highlights while sailing Oahu. On clear days, although far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not destination sailing, destination is sailing!

Those cobalt blue waters we sail in (mentioned above) are remarked about with awe every time we go sailing. It’s just as if someone came along and dropped colouring in the water before we sailed. It is exceptional.

Hawaii private sunset cruise

Your Hawaii private sunset cruise: a beautiful time of day to be on the water. What can be more romantic than sunset aboard a sailboat in the pacific ocean. You’ll want to experience a sunset cruise on your vacation in Honolulu. Here is my recommendation on 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 phenomena 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 and 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 with Sail Blue Hawaii.
  4. A life celebration/ ash scattering is particularly special in the easy sunset hours. A 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.

SUNSET SERVED DAILY with Sail Blue Hawaii

Call Sail Blue Hawaii today and sign up for your own private sunset cruise. If you are especially lucky, because of the time of year, your private sunset cruise may well turn into whale watching! It could well be the highlight of ANY vacation.

Private Hawaii Sunrise Cruise

Your birthday is a great excuse to get out of bed early and experience your private Hawaii sunrise cruise. Greet the new day aboard our private charter boat “Kaikiwi“. This will be not only a great photo opportunity but something special to remember on your vacation in Honolulu. Certainly not everyone is an early riser but the view of Diamond Head is well worth the effort.

Why a private sailing charter?

My clients volunteer many reasons to select a private charter but mostly they just want to be away from the crowds. The hustle and bustle of Waikiki sends them to require quiet ocean time.

Kiss the tour bus goodbye. This is the ride of your life. We set sail to experience the pure exhilaration of tradewind sailing… the wind and waves are our engine. 

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.
