Hawai’i Sailing Academy primarily focuses on our local community to provide access to sailing through education and inclusion. Our leveled structure allows our students to learn the skills they need at their pace. We offer specialized seminars to focus on specific skill sets. Students can also elect to train privately on either their boat or one of our club boats.
Our Mission is to grow our community by sharing our knowledge, skills, and experiences. We will spread our passion for sailing and love for the oceans to create competent sailors and good stewards of our environment.
