Highlight of our Hawaii vacation
I’ve heard that a lot. I heard it again this week:
Thank you, Capt. Gaelyn. It was indeed a great experience for all of us. Certainly, the highlight of our trip to Oahu…..- guests from LA and Germany
Such a simple statement but it means the world to me. All the hard work to keep the boat sparkling clean: the wax waxed, the stainless stainless, the rig safe, the sails solid, the hull clean; on it goes. Few people know what to takes to make a boat the “best-kept charter boat in the islands.” All that hard work and all it takes is that simple statement to know it is all worth it. Your joy becomes my joy.
Kaikiwi is upper right..sailing south (to Tahiti, we wish LOL)
The Best Day-Sail !
The photo’s story: My LA client was going to hike Diamond Head after his charter. I said “look for me”. He did… and… he found me. From the top of Diamond Head with his best lens: there is Kaikiwi, full sail. In the original photo, the zoom-in capacity is brilliant. The hazey grey in the photo is the vog coming from the Big Island’s volcanic activity.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This has been a busy week for our humpback visitors as the season winds down for a Hawaii whale watch. I prefer to call it a “whale sail”: we set sail with the hope of seeing these gentle leviathans cruising our waters. February and March are the best for Oahu. The females come to the Lahaina area to have their calf and re-mate before heading back to their Alaska feeding grounds. We have the fortune of seeing mums and calves playing and gaining strength in our Waikiki waters before their 3000 mile trip north.
What time of day should we schedule our whale watch?
Because this is custom sailing, and humpback whales do not have a schedule, 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…✨book a SUNRISE cruise, a morning or afternoon day-sail, or our most popular SUNSET cruise ✨ It is all good for a whale sail.
Will we see marine life other than humpback whales?
“Kaikiwi” sails from Oahu’s south (protected) shore, not far from Honolulu, 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.
Sign up today for your private whale watch with Sail Blue Hawaii. A whale sail you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Tis the season for a Hawaii whale watch. I like to call it a “whale sail’. We’ll set sail, on your own private charter. If we find whales, that is a bonus!. 2023 has been an abundant season. Every time I go out, there are whales close by. Usually a mum and a calf.
What type of whales do we see?
Humpbacks are Hawaii’s most famous tourists, making their annual 3,500 mile trip from Alaska to the islands each December through April. They come to the islands to have their young and to mate. We’ll set sail and hope to find these gentle leviathans. Sign up today for you Hawaii whale watch.
This is what greeted us at the top of Kewalo channel!
