February 23 tour - Captain and crew member were both so friendly and knowledgeable, and answered our many questions. She explained a lot of history of the boat we were on, and it was a pleasure to speak to her. The entire trip was spectacular, and the turtles were the icing on the cake!

Best Trip of All! - The crew on the catamaran were incredible!!! Made us feel welcome, safe, and like part of their family. Sailing has been a lifelong dream of mine and this cruise was great. It really was the highlight of all the tours we took in Honolulu! Thanks for such a memorable experience!

Sailing in paradise - This is a small family operated sailing boat. There was only one other couple with their 2 kids which made it nice for us. We did the one hour boat ride as my husband has never been sailing. It was perfect.

enjoyable - The staffs are very friendly and helpful. My sons are still small (3yrs and 5yrs), but all of us had a whale of a time! The view from the boat was absolutely breathtaking, especially Diamond head. We saw two sea turtles as well.

Fantastic Day Sailing! - We had a great time on the Trade Winds Sailing Tour on 8/8/23. Even with the high winds the crew took us out and treated us to a great sail with views of Diamond Head and Waikiki beach. We even saw a turtle on our way out. We will be booking again on our next trip!
