These luxury yachts host private parties exclusively—no crowded tour boats here. It's perfect for visitors wanting genuine sailing in an intimate setting, and yes, you can take the helm during your ocean adventure.

You'll have three vessel options: a sailing yacht for up to 6 passengers, a sailing catamaran accommodating 6 guests, or a power catamaran that hosts up to 49 passengers. Each 3-hour charter departs from Honolulu, with extensions available for longer adventures. Daily departures at 8AM, 11AM, and 2PM give you flexible scheduling for morning or afternoon sailing.

Honolulu's waters offer exceptional marine life viewing year-round. Dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and eagle rays are frequent companions during your charter. Between December and May, humpback whales visit Hawaiian waters—these magnificent 35-50 foot mammals weighing up to 50 tons return annually to give birth in Hawaii's warm, sheltered waters. An exclusive anchorage provides delightful snorkeling opportunities away from the crowds.

Fishing enthusiasts will love the reef fishing charters using light spinning tackle in 15-25 feet of crystal-clear water over coral and lava rock reefs. A fish catch guarantee is included.

For hands-on learning, USCG licensed Captain/Instructors provide sailing instruction to international standards and issue certificates upon completion. This daytime sailing charter Honolulu experience starts from $750 per hour for the power catamaran option.
