Sail Hawaii is your source for information about sailing instruction and adventures in Hawai'i.

If you are new to sailing or have just sailed across an ocean, Sail Hawai'i is the place to earn an ASA certificate, find information about sailing opportunities, meet crew, shop for sailing gear and more!     

ASA Sailing and Navigation Instruction

ASA certification is respected worldwide and is your passport for yacht charters and the sailing lifestyle. Learn to sail from USCG licensed and ASA certified sailing instructors who are friendly and passionate about what they do. 

We offer ASA Basic Keelboat 101 through Advanced Coastal Cruising 106 courses with classroom instruction on land and practical sea time aboard one of our classic style training vessels. Our basic level courses involve day sailing off Waikiki and intermediate to advanced levels may take us on overnight voyages to another island or beyond.   

Discover Sailing and Private Cruises

Do you want to experience sailing for the first time? Or just want to go sailing with a few of your friends for the day and watch the sunset off Waikiki? Just climb aboard and join the crew for an experience that you won't forget! 

Our skippers are happy to show you the ropes or let you just sit back and relax while we find sea turtles and dolphins playing in the waves. Our Discover Sailing cruises are an ideal way for individuals, couples or small groups to experience sailing for the first time and for experienced sailors to get out on the water.
