The “Aloha state” meaning the state of love located in western United States, in the pacific ocean will greet you with authentic Hawaiian culture. Hawaii is a chain of volcanic islands that will make your adventure and travel dreams come true. From sandy beaches to gorgeous mountains, it’s a place for having fun and getting enough adrenaline for a lifetime. But also for relaxing while experiencing the true beauty of nature.
Hawaii may be the greatest destination for surfing as it has some of the best point breaks on earth like Pipeline or Sunset. Most of all, checking boat rentals in Hawaii with SamBoat could be one of the smartest decisions you can make in order to fully discover the islands.
Hawaii has 8 main islands. Boat rental is the best option to discover all islands as you have complete control of your itinerary. Having the choice of exploring the archipelago by sailing to the spots that interest you the most. Hopping from one location to another will allow you to visit volcanoes, scenic waterfalls, golden beaches and sunsets from different angles.
Make sure you check pricing accordingly to the type of boat and whether skippers are available or not.
The demand is higher during the summer and so are the prices. It’s the best time for sailing as conditions are optimal. We suggest that you make your reservations in advance if you are planning a trip.
We recommend that you read the Hawaiian Boating laws and regulations. For motorized vessels, the state of Hawaii requires that you take a boat safety course that you can pass online, it’s about 35$ through the official website. You must also show proof of a boating licence and be at least 15 years old.
If you do not have a licence it’s okay as most of our boats in Honolulu have skippers who will be your captain and accompany you during your boat hire.
The high season in Hawaii is from May to October, and the best time to sail is in June when the forecast is the best and trade winds are expected. You can sail all year round but you should pay detailed attention to the weather that can quickly change, especially during winter when the swell is much bigger and winds are much stronger. We recommend that you stay aware and learn about the harbours around you for your own safety at all times. It’s also in your best interest to sail during clear days only, as coral reefs can be dangerous and could potentially end your trip on the spot during a cloudy day.
Beware as the shape of the islands can create unsteady winds and currents. There are many different possibilities for wind directions and can make the ocean chaotic and unpredictable.
We suggest that you start from Honolulu in Oahu and explore by chartering a Yacht and sailing all around the island. For a longer stay, you could even discover the other islands like Kawai a little bit up north, or Maui down south. It really is up to you as you have complete freedom while chartering with Samboat.
Oahu has a great number of activities and fantastic places to visit:
Surfing: Oahu is the birthplace of the sport. Sail away to the north shore for quality waves if you are an experienced surfer. Be very cautious as many spots are dangerous with shallow reefs and massive swells in winter time. For instance, Pipeline is often described as one of the most magnificent barreling waves out there, but also brutal and terrifying at the same time! Make sure you talk to locals to get good advice before paddling out!
For more beginner friendly surfing, head south to White Plains Beach, Canoes or even Old man’s if you prefer longboarding.
Snorkelling: Hawaii hosts very diverse ocean life! There is nothing like enjoying your time by exploring pure nature on a paradisiac island. Furthermore, nothing more relaxing than sitting on the beach in front of a beautiful sunset after your snorkel session. The best islands in Hawaii for this activity are Kauai, Maui and Big Island.
