First time sailing with Captain Gaelyn and it was smooth sailing! We opted for a 3 hour sails with the family and it was so smooth the kids and wife fell asleep for almost two hours of it! I will definitely be sailing with Capt Gaelyn again and highly recommend her and her beautiful Beneteau!

Had a wonderful sail with Captain Gaelyn. My husband and I are sailors and wanted to experience a sail off the Hawaiian coast. Gaelyn hoisted the sails promptly and for 2 1/2hrs we were able to SAIL along the coast of Honolulu. She is very knowledgeable and made it a wonderful trip for us. Would highly recommend a sail with her.

You're on the water. In Oahu. Just that alone is worth a star. You're Captain is a Kiwi, with a delightful personality, another star. You have the luxury to remain in stern, move about the yacht at leisure, head to bow, and feel the breeze brush across your face, while you spot sea turtles off port side, another 3 stars. Gaelyn, our Captain, has been sailing these waters for decades and has had this yacht for just over a decade - a 42 foot Beneteau beauty! She keeps the yacht clean, shares her cooler with you if needed and ensures your time spent on Kaikiwi is an absolute treasure!

My sister arranged a couple hour sailing trip while we were staying on Oahu for a family trip. I was a tad unsure about the idea of this because my 18 month old son would be coming along, and wasn't sure what to expect. Gaelyn is extremely knowledgeable about all things sailing and I felt extremely safe while on her boat. Her equipment is clean and the boat is lovely. Sailing was a huge highlight on our family trip, and I'm so glad we did it! I would highly recommend Gaelyn and Blue Sail Hawaii to anyone looking for something fun and different!

I thought long and hard about sailing in Hawaii. Captain Gaelyn was very efficient in getting back to me and offering tons of information to finalize my adventure. She truly takes pride in what she does and has a beautiful vessel. Captain Gaelyn let's get involved in the learning process of sailing or you can just sit back and relax. Either way it was an experience of lifestyle. Thank you Captain Gaelyn!! We will never forget you.The dolphins were amazingly beautiful!!

My wife and I definitely echo the other positive reviews of Capt. Gaelyn and her sailboat, the Kaikiwi. She took us out for a sunset sail on our 1st anniversary, and it was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly and personal. Her boat was well maintained, and sailed perfectly. Highly recommend her! We will definitely sail with her again in the future.

It was a real pleasure to sail with Capt. Gaelyn! Her expertise, personality & the thoughtfully-fitted out Beneteau 42 made for a safe & thoroughly enjoyable experience (unlike some Honolulu charters where the skipper & even the boat may not match what you paid for). Looking forward to a return visit soon!(Pro tips: the Kewalo Basin marina parking lot can get crowded, but there's easy access by bus, & if you want to bring food & drink, the Whole Foods is just 2 blocks away on Kamakee.)

Excellent sail with Gaelyn. Boat is a top notch shape and she is a fabulous captain - professional and safety conscious. Was an added bonus to see a whale breach on the ride.

agoIt was a beautiful and relaxing experience with Captain Gaelyn on her sail boat. We watched a gorgeous sunset off the shores of Honolulu. She provided great communication, a prompt response to our inquiry, and clear instructions on meeting her. It was so wonderful to have a private sailing experience with friends. We would highly recommend sailing with Capt. Gaelyn, and we definitely look forward to our future sail together.
