About this experience
There's something magical about catching the trade winds on Ewa Beach's protected lagoon, and the Hobie Wave Cat rental from Wai Kai delivers exactly that experience. This 13-foot catamaran is a perfect introduction to sailing for families and newcomers - stable enough for confidence, yet responsive enough to feel the thrill when those 10-25 knot winds fill the sail.
You've got two ways to tackle your hour on the water. Experienced sailors will love the $60 self-operated option, where you'll trim the sail and navigate the lagoon solo (though our supervisors need to sign off on your skills first). If you'd rather soak up the scenery without worrying about wind direction, the $100 captain-assisted rental lets you relax while a pro handles the sailing.
The whole experience flows smoothly from start to finish. After a quick 10-minute check-in at the Waterfront desk on Keoneula Boulevard, you'll get fitted for life jackets and receive your safety briefing. Then it's 45-50 minutes of pure sailing bliss on the lagoon, with that signature Hawaiian breeze and water so clear you can see the bottom. The final 10 minutes cover docking and gear return, plus our crew will point you toward other lagoon activities if you're not ready to call it a day.
This hobie wave cat rental Ewa Beach adventure welcomes ages 4-99, and we provide everything nautical - life jackets, full boat setup, and sailing instruction. Just bring swimwear, towels, and sunscreen. Want to capture the moment? Waterproof phone cases and GoPros are available on-site.
With each boat handling up to 4 people or 800 pounds, it's ideal for small groups. Just remember our 48-hour cancellation policy for full refunds (minus a $5 admin fee) when planning your Oahu sailing adventure.
