Twin hull powered boat for rent - up to 10 people

Michael is an awesome host, not only a really good person but very accommodating and helpful. The boat is 10/10!! Perfect condition and we were able to free dive today, stop to get some food along the bay, and even took it to a sandbar. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Dylan and his gorgeous boat. Dylan is great to work with, very communicative, and extremely helpful. His boat is in amazing condition, well maintained, and well stocked with safety equipments and toys. We will book again with Dylan.

February, 2024

Shanti and his first mate Stefan were a joy to go out on the water with. We came across humpback whales in the first 20 minutes, then jumped in the water to snorkel with a pod of Pilot whales, and finished up the day snorkeling in a beautiful spot with turtles...oh and we and had dolphins swimming alongside the boat as we cruised to the snorkeling spot. You can never be guaranteed as to what you will see on the water, but I can guarantee you that if the wildlife is out there, Shanti and Stefan will find it and you will love being in their capable hands on this beautiful boat!

I used this boat for a sea burial. The approximately two-hour cruise was wonderful. The boat was clean, and the crew's response was also very great. I would like to use this boat again.

One of a kind, exhilarating trimaran sailing experience in Waikiki

This was the highlight of my birthday trip to Hawaii! Great communication, safe travels and beautiful views for my girlfriends and I. I highly recommend this sunset experience.

Captain Tony is the best! He really made our trip out to Hawaii a dream. I was proposing to my girlfriend and he set everything up to make it magical. I can’t rave enough about Captain Tony so if you’re looking to book a boat, definitely book here!

Can't say enough good things about Alan and his crew!! So kind. So knowledgeable of the island. We swam up close with turtles and had a freshly made lunch served. We felt like celebrities. Highly recommend!!

What an awesome afternoon with Sail Oahu! Captain Alan, First Mate Wanda, and crew are first class in every way. We had a beautiful day with stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head - with wine, beer, and a delicious lunch to top off the trip. The sailboat was impeccable, impressive and well appointed. We felt well cared for and very welcome. We are looking forward to our next visit to the island and another afternoon with Sail Oahu.

Sail Oahu was Soo Much Fun!!! I had the best day celebrating my birthday!! Captain Alan and First Mate Wanda will make your Trip so enjoyable! They are amazing hosts! And their boat is so classy! I felt like a princess! And the views of Diamond Head were breathtaking!! I will definitely Sail with them again!!

Sail Oahu was one of the most exciting, tranquil, humbling experiences of my life. Capt. Alan, his mate Wanda, and the entire crew were so welcoming & warm. They were particularly great with my nieces and nephews (ages 3-10) as well! They always put safety and comfort first! The sailboat itself is beautiful and lavish. The views of the Island from the open water were breathtaking. I will definitely Sail Oahu every trip I make to the island.

A fantastic day out with my friends with breathtaking views, lovely food, and a stunning boat. The crew were amazing people with such interesting stories, they really made us feel like a big happy family. I recommend this for all families, friend groups, young and old. A day I will never forget! Thank you Sail Oahu and hope to see you soon.

“DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR DREAM”

Any occasion is a great one to get out sailing on Hawaiian waters to enjoy some relaxing and refreshing ocean time. Especially true here in Hawaii where the air is balmy and year-round trade winds provide Honolulu with wonderful sailing conditions.

At Sail Blue Hawaii, the possibilities are endless and  THE HORIZON IS NO LIMIT.

Honolulu Sailing, Yacht Charters, Oahu

While sailing off the Oahu coastline, we often see Hawaiian green sea turtles lazing in the sun, dolphins jumping the bow, whales (winter only) spouting off to starboard, and the stunning shine of Venus at sunset. Leave Waikiki and the crowds behind. Step onto your own private yacht and enjoy the ride of your life. The wind is our engine as we sail the beautiful azure blue Pacific waters. The sound of the ocean will thrill. You can choose a magical sunrise cruise, an adventurous tradewind day-sail, a romantic sunset cruise; depending on your preferences and schedules…anything is available for any occasion.

Your private sailing charter in Hawaii is perfect for intimate gatherings, family vacations, or romantic getaways. It comes with an exceptionally experienced captain and crew who are knowledgeable about the islands’ marine life, culture, and history. You will enjoy tradewind sailing as only Hawaii can offer.

The stunning coastal landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the chance to see marine wildlife up close makes your private sailing charter an unforgettable experience. However, it’s essential to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability and secure your preferred sailing date.

SUNSET SERVED DAILY

“Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

Your hawaii whale watch.

...f you are looking for true Aloha, then this is your boat and crew. They took such good care of us, the boat is meticulous and safe, and the views were amazing. We were even blessed to sail with spooner dolphins swimming all around us. It was truly a magical morning. Thank you again North Shore Sailing Adventures...you guys are the best!!

Sara G., Wailua, Hawaii (Yelp)

Best private sailing trip yet! We saw a ton of dolphins & Turtles! Captain Porter & Will were fantastic hosts, constantly offering drinks & snacks & making sure everyone was having a great time. We have booked private charters all over the world & have to say this was at the top of the list. The tri-hull “Keet” was surprisingly stable cutting thru the chop & had ample room for our family. Over all it was an Amazing Experience and look forward to coming back and spending some time with our new friends!!

--Matt Rogers (Google Business)

**If you are ANYWHERE on the island of Oahu, please take some time to head to the North Shore and hang out with this crew.**

--John H. Charlotte, NC (Yelp)

Captain Porter and Jacob were great hosts on our tranquil sail from Haleiwa to Waimea Bay. We were able to swim and view Hawaii wildlife thanks again !!!!

--TurtleNinja2020 (TripAdvisor)

This sailing experience made our vacation! The captain is highly experienced and engaged us in stories of his adventures sailing around the world. We were so lucky to see turtles and even watch dolphins swim with our boat. Even though I've never sailed before, I got to learn so much about the intricacies of a trimaran. We really feel that we got a much more personalized tour than we would have had with the larger operations that host large tourism groups. If you are looking for a more local and authentic experience, I highly recommend this tour operator.

Raving Reviews

"A group of four of us took a morning sailing cruise out past the shores of Waikiki. Captain Nate was a great source of information and shared some fantastic recommendations of things to see/do. He was very personable and informative and made our trip very enjoyable."

"This was an amazing way to end our vacation in Hawaii. Our family sailed for two hours and enjoyed the sunset while eating and drinking. Best of all it was just us! Our own private cruise. Paul was an incredible captain and host who took care of all of our needs. We just sat back and enjoyed the ride."

"My family thoroughly enjoyed a three-hour sail trip on "My Sunshine." Captain Paul was amazing, as was the boat trip. Beautiful say on Waikiki swimming, sailing and enjoying the sun. Perfect cruise!!!!"

"I had a WONDERFUL experience. Captain Ken was incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate with. He and his crew made sure that we had an enjoyable and safe time out on the water. The boat was incredibly clean, and well-equipped with everything you would need - snorkels, bathrooms, and a full bar! Can't wait to sail again with Tradewind Charters."

The Most Beautiful Island on Earth

Rent a boat in Hawaii to experience these islands the way they were originally discovered. Hawaii is one of the furthest pieces of land from anywhere. This paradise was miraculously discovered by unparalleled Polynesian sailors, and later Captain Cook. This island chain is over a thousand miles long, and is a series of volcanos created over eons as the earth’s crust moved over a hot spot deep below. The main Island volcanos are still active, sometimes spectacularly so.

Many unique marine life, flora, and birdlife evolved in this splendid isolation. The main island is the tallest mountain on earth as measured from the sea floor. Environments range from desert to Jungle to snowcapped peaks.

Your message

Want your own private sunset tour? This is it! The tour was very professional as well as fun. Michelle made booking the tour very easy. Michelle and Will were very good on the open Ocean and very accommodating. Allowed music if you wanted and can bring whatever drinks you want. Will had just crossed the Pacific Ocean in a boat! Wow!

What to do with a dozen friends all in town at once? Our sunset sail was wonderful! Everyone had a lovely time, enjoying the beautiful skyline and horizon. The highlight of the trip was our close sighting of humpback whales! They were less than 30 yards away at times – it’s hard to say whether the kids or the adults were more excited! The crew was very helpful and the boat Tefiti (for sailing nerds) is beautiful, clean, in perfect condition, and amazingly set up for singlehanding – almost everything is automated to the point she almost sails herself. Not a spot of rust anywhere – she clearly gets a lot of TLC!

Our family of 10 rented the boat originally for two hours to take my husband’s ashes out to Diamond Head and scatter them in the ocean he loved so much and sailed so often. It was a Memory that the entire family will cherish forever. Michele and our captain couldn’t have been more accommodating. After we put his ashes into the water, we asked if it would be possible to stay out an extra hour so that we could all swim in the waters off Waikiki…and the two of them were totally good with that! Such a fun time after such an emotional day for us all. Michele was so good with the two youngsters we had with us…even providing brand-new life jackets for them…ages 6 + 7! It was sunset as we came into the channel…docking was a picture perfect ending to the afternoon. Thank you so much! We loved it and highly recommend this team for a perfect sail aboard the Beneteau 50 Te Fiti!

Had a great day with Honolulu Sailing Company. It was really nice to have a private yacht and avoid the crowds packed on other boats. Our family really appreciated that the captain and crew were fully vaccinated and it made the tour very relaxing. It’s hard these days to find something to do that feels safe. We booked a snorkel cruise and will book a sunset sail before we head home to Arizona.

The Adventure Boat

Renowned for their speed, stability, and versatility, RHIBs (Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats) are great for adventuring. Similar to what the Coast Guard and Navy Seals use, our Zodiacs are 30 feet long and unstoppable. Not only can these boats really get around, they are the perfect platform for swimming, diving, exploring the coast, and getting up close for viewing wildlife. Although we only carry small private groups along with a captain and crew, they can safely accommodate as many 20 people. This allows for maximum fun without ever feeling crowded. With a boat capable of speeds over 45 knots and a range of 250 miles, where will your adventure take you?

Located in the historic surf town of Haleiwa on the North Shore of O'ahu, we're just short drive or bus trip from most anywhere on the island. Weather permitting, we're open 7 days a week from 11am to 5pm. Driving from the South to the North Shore is not only easy but scenic, too. The trip takes anywhere between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the route. The shortest drive is along the H1 and H2 Highway, which can be easily reached from anywhere on the South Shore. If you've got more time to explore, the H3 Highway is a little longer but definitely worth the drive. Check out Hawaii Car Rentals for the best value vehicle rentals on the island. Buses leave regularly from the South Shore and take between 1.5-2.5 hours depending where you're coming from. To find out more about travel routes and schedules, check out TheBus Website.

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran

Born and raised in Ma'ili, on the west side of Oahu, Kalani has always been interested in water sports such as body surfing and free diving. His passions led him to work as crew with boat charters, and he eventually obtained his Captain's license with five years of experience. When he isn’t working, Kalani is enjoying the beautiful Island lifestyle at the beach.

Between our catamaran and our crew you will feel pampered and spoiled. We are family owned & operated with a passion for life and water and want to offer a truly unique local experience. Our motto is to spoil our clients!Every Charter is different and personalized to you! From calmly cruising the coast of Waikiki soaking up the sun and sipping drinks, to a thrilling trade wind sail at full speed. We can fish, BBQ, snorkel and so much more! So whether you are a first time sailor or seasoned you will have amazing lasting memories.Hawaiian Style is her name, and custom built is how she was made. This 48ft “cat” has a sleek low profile design, 4 lounging nets, two queen size beds, and a kitchenette. It was built in 1991 by Gill’s Catamaran, designed by Vince Bartolone and influenced by Rudy Choi, multi haul innovators of the 50’s.

Aloha JetSki

Aloha Jetski is the only location on the island that offers brand new Yamaha VX wave runners, the longest ride time, Jetsurf boards, the best value per minute, party packs, and a personal experience unlike any other. Located in beautiful Keehi lagoon, escape the Waikiki crowds and come ride with us!

Live Bait Sport Fishing

Located in the Waiʻanae Boat Harbor since 1985, Live Bait Sport Fishing has a strategical advantage over the Honolulu fishing charters. This advantage has resulted in Live Bait Sport Fishing being ranked as one of the best fishing charters on Oʻahu for nearly 35 years. The Waiʻanae Coast is nearer to the prime big game fishing grounds compared to the Waikiki fishing charters. The island of Oʻahu has the privilege of being a gathering spot for large pelagic predatory fish such as Ahi (Tuna), Mahimahi (Dorado), Ono (Wahoo) and the world-renowned trophy catch; the 1,000+ pound Aʻu (Marlin). These fish continually migrate in deep blue ocean water, and when their migration is interrupted by an island, they tend to swim to shallow waters to feed. The Waiʻanae coast of Oʻahu is such a place and drastically increases your chances to encounter a large concentration of big game fish.

Chupu Charters Inc

Combine our experienced captains and crews, the biggest, fastest, cleanest boats in the harbor with some of the best fishing grounds found anywhere in the world you have a recipe for offshore fishing success. Our boats have everything you need onboard to experience a one-of-a-kind and maybe a once-in-a-lifetime big game sportfishing adventure in Hawaii. We look forward to fishing with you!

Hawaiian Surf Adventures has been locally owned and operated in Hawaii for over 10 years. Located away from the Waikiki crowds, your Surf and SUP lessons will be uncrowded and personal. The Double Hull Canoe tour is a unique adventure; learn to paddle, listen to Hawaiian history, culture, language and geology and go for an optional swim in the Bay.

Waikiki Boat Charters

Oahu Catamaran Charters, Fishing Adventures, Waikiki Sunset Sailing cruises, Turtle Canyon snorkeling trips, we have it all! Please see below for a listing of our vessels that are currently centrally located in Waikiki and available for a fully customizable day on the Hawaiian Waters.

We specialize in private charters and semi-private small group cruises for everyone, with a passenger limit of six.

The Busy Boater

Exploring boating from a renter's perspective

Boat Rental Destination: Oahu, Hawaii

Oahu is the most populated island in the chain of Hawaiian islands. Let’s see how it ranks in terms of getting out on the water in other people’s boats with an Oahu boat rental.

What’s Good

• Major international airport with direct flights from all over the US and Asia.
• Plenty of services for tourists, including transportation (no need to rent a car)
• Dense metropolitan area surrounded by history and natural beauty

What’s Not

• Bareboat/self-drive options are few and far between
• Hard to find solitude

Boating Conditions in Oahu

Oahu is a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It can be subject to violent surf conditions as swells build up over thousands of miles before reaching the shore and being compressed onto the beaches. Like other islands in Hawaii, the ‘lee’ shore (downwind) on the East side tends to be the most protected from weather (both wind and rain). Waikiki Beach is in a protected bay on the lee shore, providing water that is consistently manageable. This is where you’ll find most of the resorts, boat rentals, and charters.

The weather is pleasant year-round, benefiting from the moderating effect of all that ocean water. Winter is wetter than Summer, but you’ll still be able to find sunshine most days on that ‘lee’ shore.

Things to do on your Oahu Boat Rental

Snorkeling in turtle canyons.

Most snorkel tours in Waikiki will head out to a volcanic formation called Turtle Canyon. I’ll let you guess why. Turtles can also be found on or near the beaches throughout the island

Swimming with the Dolphins

There are a number of tour boats that operate out of Wainae Harbor that can take you to snorkel with dolphins. We took a tour with Dolphin Excursions .

The tour included transportation from our hotel. The ride over was a guided tour in itself with the tour operators sharing about their life on the island and the sites along the way. The frustrating part about this is that it will stop at several hotels along Waikiki Beach, making the ride a bit ride longer than driving.

Dolphin Excursions uses a rigid inflatable boat. Compared to some of the larger catamarans used for tours, we went out with a smaller crowd and got to the dolphins faster. On the way back, the captain surfed along some of the waves rolling into the bay, which you couldn’t experience on a larger boat.

When we got to the bay where the dolphins were, they handed out snorkels, went over the rules , and set us free. There were maybe 100 dolphins swimming in the area. Some were mating (um, how about some privacy???). You aren’t allowed to get too close, and they stayed pretty deep while were there. That makes it quite a different experience than swimming with dolphins in a tank, but this is more humane and interesting experience to see them in the wild. Even Mrs. Busy Boater, who gets seasick snorkeling, really enjoyed it.

Private Boat Rental Options in Oahu

Powerboat retnals.

As of this writing, Oahu is the only island in Hawaii that offers Boatsetter rentals that you can skipper yourself without a captain. There’s a 21′ jet boat set up for tubing and snorkeling available in Honolulu near the airport. Further up the coast, there’s a 22′ Glacier Bay power catamaran similar to the one we rented in Maui . There are several other great powerboats on the island available to rent by the hour through the site.

Sailboat Retnals

Boatsetter also has a 33-foot sailing catamaran in Honolulu available without a captain. This is my top pick for a rental next time we’re in the area.

Until recently, there was one Hobie Cat rental on Oahu at Holokai Adventures on Kane’ohe Bay. Just like the only Hobie Cat rental on Maui , it was a 17′ Hobie Getaway that only available with an instructor. And, similar to Maui, we weren’t actually able to take it out while we were visiting Oahu: on the day we had reserved the boat, the wind was too calm for sailing. No need to worry about running into this problem yourself: they no longer have the Hobie Cat.

Paddling Rentals

There are rental stands all over Waikiki Beach that rent kayaks and paddleboards (SUPs). This is a great way to get off the beach and look for sea turtles.

The rental stands also have snorkel equipment, surfboards and boogie boards. Many also offer surfing lessons. Waikiki is a great beach to learn to surf with a long, gentle, consistent surf. You can also buy cheap boogie boards and snorkel kits at the ABC Stores, which are located on just about every block along Waikiki Beach.

Oahu Crewed Catamaran Charters

There are sailing catamarans that board right on Waikiki Beach. They all offer a few options ranging from 1-hour day sails, to snorkel tours and sunset sails. These boats are logically divided into two groups based on where they beach. The first group, beaching near the Royal Hawaiian are smaller, older boats with more character and lower prices. The second group, near the Hilton Hawaiian Village are a bit more upscale in features and price.

Waikiki Beach Sailing Catamarans

There are three sailing catamarans that board in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach. These boats motor away from the beach, but then sail around Diamondhead for an hour or so. Unlike what we’ve experienced in Maui and Kauai , the boats here in Waikiki actually put the sail up and cut the engines as soon as they get out of the surf. It’s a very peaceful way to pass the time. The downside is that you will share the boat with a lot of strangers, but we’ve done it several times and never felt crowded, even on Memorial Day weekend.

The boats offer snorkel trips and sunset cruises for $30-$40 online. However, we’ve found that they also hang a sign on the bow and sell seats while loading the next tour for about $10 less than the online price. Bring cash for admission and for booze…which will be surprisingly cheap if not included with the ticket.

Kepoikai II

Both times we’ve come to Waikiki, we’ve sailed on the Kepoikai II and had a great time. The trampolines, made of a comfortable wide webbing, had plenty of room to stretch out.

Full Featured Sailing Catamarans Charters on Oahu

There are two other catamarans that board farther west in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village development.

Holokai is a newer more upscale looking catamaran with a price to match. It has a bit more freeboard (sits higher in the water) than the other boats, so you’ll have a drier ride.

Spirit of Aloha

The Spirit of Alhoa is a larger boat. It is more accessible because it boards from a dock. It also has a covered cabin with tables to sit out of the sun.

Getting to Oahu

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu is the main airport on Oahu. It serves direct flights from most major cities from the US, and many international flights from all over the world. It’s also a short cab ride from Waikiki Beach, where you’ll find most of the tourist action on the island. Since there aren’t any liveaboard cruising rentals on the island, you’ll be staying in a hotel. There are plenty of hotel options to choose from along Waikiki Beach. You’ll pay more to stay in a hotel that’s on the beach. There are also lots of options for hotels one block off the beach that have great views and easy beach access. We like to stay at Kamaina Beach, which is just East of Waikiki, separated by Kapi’olani park. It’s still in walking distance from the action, but quieter than Waikiki.

Swimming with.

We had the best time ever with this snorkeling adventure. My husband doesn't really like snorkling but does it just for me. With our new personal snorkel gear and the fantastic friendly crew , he said this was the first ... more time he enjoyed it. The weather was perfect and the turtles were amazing. We will definitely use Moana catamaran next time we come to Honolulu.

Great experience from pick up to a relaxing day at the beach enjoying Hawaii’s beautiful landscapes!! Capt Bob and his crew were excellent.

Your total budget for a boating trip in Hawaii depends on many factors such as: trip duration, if captain and crew are included in the price or their cost have to be paid separately, fuel cost (which could be significantly higher on a motorboat compared to a sailboat) and other extras you choose to customize your experience in Hawaii.

What is Sailo’s cancellation policy?

As long as the booking request hasn't been accepted by the Maui boat charter owner, the renter can cancel the request without any charge. If the renter cancels after the booking request has been accepted, the booking will be subject to the terms of the cancellation policy in place for each boat. The renter should check the cancellation policy with the boat owner, as some of the professional operators have specific cancellation policies which supersede that of Sailo. Whenever a boat owner doesn't have a specific cancellation policy, Sailo's Standard Cancellation policy will apply.

Tips for responsible boating

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter in Hawaii is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto: 'Take only photos, leave only wake' (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

RENT A BOAT! The most FUN activity in Kona. Take the whole family.

This is a must do!!! Great staff, great boat, phenomenal experience. I never dreamed that I would ever get to operate a boat on the mighty blue pacific ocean. Definitely a bucket list experience.

Seeing the area this way is a real hoot. It's a great way to scuba, snorkel, or fish where and how you want.

The one sport that Kona is most famous for would probably be big game fishing. Kona has become a magnet for first-timers wishing to try their hand at catching the big one.

My wife and I rented a center console boat. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They had good fishing gear, and the boat was nice and reliable. I would definitely rent a boat from them again.

Epic day! Thanks Blake. Great setup! We had a blast. The option to rent and captain our own boat was very rewarding! Catching a Blue Marlin was icing on the cake! Thank you!
