Why Summer is the Season for Sail Hawaiian Style Catamaran
Summer is the busiest—and most vibrant—time of year on Oahu. With long days, lively energy, and plenty of visitors on-island, it’s the perfect season to carve out time for yourself and your crew. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a break from the summer crowds, a Waikiki private catamaran charter offers the ideal ocean escape. Snorkel with turtles, sail along the coast, and soak in uninterrupted views from your own floating oasis on your Oahu ocean adventure.
What Makes Sail Hawaiian Style Unique
Private, Customizable Catamaran Charters Guests have 2–8 hour options to choose from: Waikiki Morning and Afternoon Snorkels, Late Afternoon Swims, Waikiki Sunset Sails, or Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks—all aboard a 48‑foot catamaran.
Small, Intimate Groups Experience the ocean without crowds on the boat—your private boat charter includes up to 15 people in your group, making it perfect for couples, families, or friends.
Fully Equipped for Comfort & Fun.
Bean bag chairs, nets to lounge in, shaded seating, onboard restroom, bluetooth surround sound, two ice-filled coolers, stainless steel cups, freshwater rinse, and snorkeling gear—all included.
Knowledgable & Friendly Crew
Our USCG-Certified Captain and crew accompany you to the best spots and guide Waikiki sailing, swimming, and snorkeling adventures.
Locally Owned & Operated
Sail Hawaiian Style is a small, locally owned business based right here in Waikiki. We've been operating since 2017, and our crew is made up of ocean lovers who take pride in sharing the beauty of Hawaii with respect, care, and true island hospitality.
Top Ways to Spend Your Summer Oahu Ocean Adventure
Set sail in the morning and head to “Turtle Canyon,” one of Waikiki's best spots to snorkel with Hawaiian green sea turtles and colorful reef fish. All gear is provided, and your crew joins you as your personal snorkeling guide. We have early morning and late morning options available.
Wind down your afternoon in Oahu, Hawaii with a mix of swimming, relaxing, and cruising past iconic coastal views like Diamond Head. Use the front nets for lounging, or relax under shade—both are perfect vantage points.
Set sail as the sun begins to set and watch the sky glow over the Honolulu coastline. Our private sunset charter is the perfect way to unwind after a day in paradise.

Looking for a private boat charter that fits your exact vibe? Whether you want to snorkel with sea turtles, sail along the coastline, jump in for a swim, or lounge in the front nets with a drink in hand, this experience is all about you. Choose your time of day and how long you'd like to be out—2 hours, 4 hours, or more—and we'll tailor the trip to match your group’s style. Great for birthdays, bachelorettes, family outings, or simply enjoying the ocean your way.

Tips for Booking Your Summer Oahu Catamaran Charter
Reserve Early – Summer slots go fast. Book early to lock in your preferred date and time for your Waikiki private charter. We usually recommend booking up to 3 weeks in advance for summer.
Plan Your Hawaii Experience – Choose from a mix: snorkeling, swimming, sunset cruise, or even Waikiki Friday night fireworks. Aren't sure which options you would like to do? No worries, just book your selected amount of hours and departure time, and the captain will ask you your preferences once you're onboard.
Pack Smart – Reef-safe sunscreen, hats, towels, sunglasses, and swimsuits.
Bring Your Own Fun – Feel free to bring along your favorite food and drinks for the day—we’re a fully BYOB charter. You can also prep a playlist ahead of time and connect your phone to our Bluetooth sound system to set the vibe for your sail.
Real Guests, Real Aloha
“Tom and Savannah gave our group the best experience! The boat itself was beautiful, super accommodating for our big group. Tom and Savannah grilled for our group, served us drinks all day and gave us the best snorkeling experience. We got to see whales and relax on a lily pad. The price was extremely fair for an entire private charter. It was the best time we had in Hawaii by far. Savannah gave us amazing recommendations for dinner places and what else to do while we were here on vacation as well. I can’t rave about this experience more! Just book it, it is worth every penny." — Nicole Watkins, Google Review
“Constant customer here, our latest reservation has been the same as the first, still amazing! Tom and the rest of the staff are great people! Definitely not the last time we will be booking with them, looking forward to making reservations with them again!" — Jacob Manio, Google Review
