Morning Sail

Experience the most tranquil time on the water in the morning when the ocean is usually glassy and calm, and the wind hasn’t picked up yet. Mornings often offer perfect conditions for snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding and spotting humpback whales in the winter. The winds generally breeze in towards the end of this charter and make for a lovely sail back into the harbor.

Departs 9am / 3 Hours

Afternoon Sail

If you’re looking to experience an authentic sailing adventure, this is the charter for you. Afternoon is the best time to get out for a sail when the trade winds usually pick up. With the right conditions, the Dolce Vita can reach speeds of up to 10-12 knots under sail, an invigorating yet very safe experience. Snorkeling is usually fantastic during this charter as well.

Departs 12:30pm / 3 Hours

Sunset Sail

What's better than a Hawaiian sunset?  Not much, really; except if you're watching one from the tranquil decks of the Dolce Vita. A favorite among many charter guests, this tour begins with a nice sail in the late afternoon when the winds are often still prevalent. As the sun dips lower, the winds tend to die down and give way to peacefully quiet water with (usually) absolutely stunning views. This is our very favorite way to end any day! 

Departs between 3:30-4:30pm seasonally / 3 Hours
