Oahu Overnight Charters allow you to escape city life for the tranquil and tropical waters surrounding Hawaii and sail off to the Gathering Place’s more discreet island locations.
Whether you want an authentic Hawaiian sailing adventure or you want to combine sailing with other excursions, your Captain can make it happen.
Oahu 2 Days, 2 Nights
A great way to start or finish a vacation in Hawaii. For those arriving with late flights and a busy schedule.First Night: Stay aboard the yacht at Ko’olina resort. This is a beautiful resort on Oahu’s west side. A crewman meets you on board to get settled then leaves you for the night. You can catch the luau at the hotel, fine dining awaits, or if you want something special on the boat just let us know.
Day 1:West Oahu We get a late start and sail offshore, then tack back in to the lee of the Wainae mountain range at Makaha where we stop for lunch and snorkeling. After lunch, we sail to Pokai bay, our destination for the night.
Day 2: West Oahu We get a late start and sail close to shore working our way back to Ko’olina resort to disembark. The calm seas and gentle breeze will leave you wondering why you didn’t book a longer charter.
Oahu Overnight Charter – 3 Days
Day 1: West and North Shores of Oahu Depart from Ko’olina resort, the newest luxury resort on Oahu’s beautiful west side. Sail in the lee of the Waianae mountain range. We stop for lunch at Yokohama Bay, then head to Haleiwa for the night. Haleiwa is a historical town that blends old Hawaii with new. It has a relaxed country atmosphere, which is very different from the pace of Waikiki.
Day 2: Waimea Bay We get a late start and set sail down the coast to Waimea Bay. Waimea is a beautiful location that is a sacred place in Hawaiian folklore. Once home to one of Oahu’s largest indigenous populations, today it is the home of the largest wave contest. For obvious reasons we only anchor here in the summer months when the surf is down. Go ashore and explore the sea caves, take in a show at the waterfall, or relax on the beach and watch the sunset.
Day 3: Return to Ko’olina We get an early start and sail a different tack back around Kaena point and stop for lunch and a swim along the way. This day is a downwind run and you get a chance to sail in the trade winds. The fishing is great off the coast and we try our best to catch a big one. We arrive late in the day back at Ko’olina resort.

Day 2: Kaneohe Bay We get an early start and set sail along the north shore for Kaneohe Bay. The island looks decidedly different on this side, much more like French Polynesia with a barrier reef and sharp mountain ridges. Look deep into lush green valleys and try to count the waterfalls. The destination for the day is Kaneohe Bay. A beautiful location, we anchor on an island made entirely of sand that comes and goes with the tide.
Day 4: Honolulu We get an early start, sail through Kaneohe Bay and back into the Pacific. We sail past numerous small offshore islets teeming with wild tropical seabirds, and an abundance of sea life, whales, dolphins, and turtles. We round Makapu’u point and pick up the trade winds for a fast sail back to Diamond Head and anchor off Waikiki for the night. The city lights are great at night and if we are there on a Friday, there‘s even a fireworks show.
Day 5: Pearl Harbor We get a late start and sail past Honolulu and down the main channel of Pearl Harbor. It is quite remarkable to sail into this infamous harbor and see the landmarks from history. We stop for lunch before heading back to sea and our destination at Ko’olina.
*Day 6: Same as above with two days in Kaneohe Bay Spend an extra day to sail and explore this beautiful bay, kayak to Coconut (Gilligan’s) Island, wait for the tide to cover up Sand Island, swim and snorkel, or just relax and enjoy.

There is so much to explore on this part of Kauai, and Hanalei Bay is so amazing we spend two nights here before exploring the NaPali Coast.

Off to an early start, we sail downwind, close to the legendary sea cliffs of the NaPali coast to really get a feel for the geography and the height of these 3,500 ft. sea cliffs, the tallest in the world, then tack out to sea for perspective, then back in close for a lunch stop and swim ashore at Kalalau beach, complete with a waterfall and valley (yes, it really is all in the same place and yes, it is paradise). From Kalalau, we sail to a protected anchorage just down the coast, the site of an ancient Hawaiian fishing village, and our stop for the night.
Day 5: Day sail to Waimea*
A late start to this day, we sail past the remaining sea cliffs and around to the west side of Kauai. The winds are light, and the ocean is calm.

Cook made his first Hawaiian landing) before heading to Port Allen Harbor for the night.
Day 6: Waimea Canyon*

Sailing to Nawilili Harbor, Lihue Kaui. Congratulations, you’ve circumnavigated Kauai. Go ashore here for shopping, dining, or whatever you wish to do.
Day 8: Oahu Return

*Day 5 & 6 Option: Niihau
Sail to Niihau Island and anchor for the night. Depart Niihau and sail to Port Allen Harbor. –note of caution– You can’t go ashore on Niihau as it is a private and protected Hawaiian culture reserve. There is not much to see or do here and it requires a lot of sailing to go and come back.
