Hawaii Sailing Charters on the Big Island.
As a working captain from Hawaii, I know most of the sailing charter boats on the Big Island. The following are my recommendations of who to go with.

As a working captain from Hawaii, I know most of the sailing charter boats on the Big Island. The following are my recommendations of who to go with.

RED SAIL SPORTS - Waikoloa Beach and Kailua Kona.
Red Sails new sailing cat, Kaimaka, is a Gold Coast 54. She's a very roomy boat, sails well, has a great bar with beer on tap, and is set up very well for snorkeling. Their snorkeling sites on the reefs of Puako are some of the best in Hawaii. They sail out of Anaehoomalu Bay in Waikoloa where the wind is excellent, and they are one of the few big cats. that really sails instead of motoring everywhere. |

Red Sail also has a 50 foot sailing cat in Kailua Kona called the Noa Noa. In Kona they offer a Sunday Brunch sail and wine tasting sunset sail in addition to the snorkel and whale watching trips.

KAMANU SAILING CHARTERS - Kailua Kona.
Kamanu is a 36 foot cat. She is an excellent sailing boat and the only other cat. in Kona town that really sails. Being a smaller boat means fewer people (24 max) and getting in and out of the water for snorkeling is easy. |

MAILE SAILING CHARTERS - Kawaihae
If you're looking for a live aboard sailing adventure, check out Maile. She is a 50 foot GulfStar, nicely set up for a week or two of inter-island cruising. |

HONU SAIL CHARTERS - Kailua Kona
If you want to go for a day sail on a real sail boat, Honu is the one. She is a 32 foot mono hull (West Sail) which has sailed to New Zealand and back. She carries only 6 guests, so you more or less have the boat to yourself. Honu is a good choice if you want to take the helm or handle the sails yourself. |
