Meet one of our wonderful deckhands, Ruby!
Ruby is a star part of our Keiki sails as well as private charters.

“One of my favorite things is sharing what I’ve learned—especially when it comes to the reef. There’s so much cool stuff to see and explore, from vibrant marine life to the hidden gems most people don’t get to experience. I love showing others why it’s so special and why it’s worth protecting.”

Coming out on a sail with us? Here are some suggestions for what to bring.

💧Bring a reusable water bottle to help protect our oceans from plastics

📸Don’t forget your camera/GoPro! You’ll have plenty of opportunities to get some good photos and videos of Hawai’i’s coastline, and hopefully some ocean friends! 🐬

We provide all necessary sailing equipment and safety gear.

Looking forward to having you out on the boat!

Hawaii’s coral reefs aren’t just beautiful, they’re vital to our oceans, our islands, and our future 🌊✨
Let’s protect what keeps our oceans alive.

Here’s how you can help:
🌱 Use reef-safe sunscreen
🚫 Never touch or step on coral
💙 Spread awareness

Our reefs are so important! They do many things for the ocean, and land:

Coral reefs protect Hawaii’s coastlines from storm damage and erosion

Healthy reefs can absorb up to 97% of wave energy, protecting shorelines + marine life

Coral reefs are living animals — not plants or rocks!

Rising ocean temperatures and pollution are putting these fragile ecosystems at risk

It can take 50-100 years for a coral reef to fully recover once damaged

Every snorkeler or diver can help protect the reefs by using reef-safe sunscreen 🌞🪸

Healthy oceans start at home. 🌊💙 At Kohala Sailing Foundation, we teach keiki that protecting our waters doesn’t just begin at sea—it starts on land, in our watersheds, and along our shorelines. Everything we do, from mauka to makai, impacts the health of our marine ecosystems. 🌿🏝️

Through sailing and ocean education, we help kids understand how pollution, runoff, and human activity affect the waters they love to explore. By learning to care for our land and shorelines, they become stewards of the ocean, ensuring that future generations can experience the same beauty and wonder. ✨⛵

Small actions make a big difference—whether it’s reducing plastic use, keeping our beaches clean, or simply respecting the natural world. When we take care of the land, we take care of the sea. 🌊💙

The ocean is more than just water—it’s a playground, a classroom, and a source of endless adventure. 🌊⛵ At Kohala Sailing Foundation, we believe that fun is just as important as learning when it comes to getting keiki out on the water. From the thrill of catching the wind in their sails to the pure joy of jumping into the sea on a hot day, these moments create memories that last a lifetime. 💙✨

By giving kids the chance to explore, play, and connect with the ocean, we’re not just teaching them to sail—we’re helping them build confidence, resilience, and a deep love for the sea that will stay with them into the future. 🚀 Whether they grow up to be sailors, scientists, or ocean advocates, the experiences they have on the water today will shape who they become tomorrow.

Let’s keep the adventure alive! 🌞⛵💙

At the Kohala Sailing Foundation, we believe every keiki should have the opportunity to experience the magic of the ocean. 🌊⛵ Many children face barriers—whether financial, logistical, or simply a lack of access—that prevent them from learning to sail, exploring the water, and gaining a deeper understanding of our marine environment. Our mission is to break down those obstacles, providing free sailing experiences and ocean education to empower the next generation with confidence, skills, and a lifelong connection to the sea. 🌞💙

Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and time spent navigating the beautiful waters of Kohala, we’re not just teaching kids to sail—we're inspiring future ocean stewards. 🌊✨ Join us in creating opportunities, fostering adventure, and keeping the Hawaiian sailing tradition alive for all keiki. 🌺⛵

A big part of our mission at the Kohala Sailing Foundation is to make ocean and sailing education accessible to all local keiki regardless of economic background.

On our trips, keiki will have the opportunity to develop personal growth, sailing, leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship skills.

We hope through this program to inspire youth to connect deeper with the ocean, discover potential career pathways in the maritime industry, and of course, have fun!

🐋 The North Pacific population of humpback whales undertake one of the longest migrations of any mammal-about 3,000 miles each way from Alaska to Hawaii!!

These majestic creatures travel from their feeding grounds in Alaska to their birthing and breeding grounds in Hawaii every year from the months of December to May.

🌊Once they reach Hawaii, they stop eating entirely! Relying only on the fat they have stored from Alaska.

Most calves are born between January and March, with peak births in February. A new born calf is about 10-15 feet long and weights 1-2 tons! 🐳

Calves drink about 50 gallons of milk per day!! They are only with their mother for about a year, so they must grow quickly!

Comment any questions you have about humpback whales! 🤙😊
