Tour Reviews

These guys know this boat like the back of their hand! I can’t believe how fast we got going. I have some sailing experience but the crew of this catamaran really helped me to feel more confident.

Had an amazing time, the staff took good care of us. Food was great and the sail was beyond our expectations!

Very nice staff, nice catamaran and good prices for Oahu. We loved the variety of the sailing sites and honestly, everything about it.

It’s a very complete sail. Beautiful catamaran, the staff was very detail oriented as well. It might seem a little pricey but it’s worth it.

Kaneohe Sandbar Private Boat Charters

Because of its large population and that it welcomes more visitors than the other islands, Oahu offers a wide range of activities that are easily accessible.

One such activity is cruising out to the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar, a favorite for locals and visitors alike.

The Kaneohe Sandbar is a popular spot because of its unique location and the panoramic view it provides. While standing in knee to waist deep water out in the middle of the bay, you get a breathtaking view of the rugged Ko’olau Mountains.

Also in view is the often photographed Chinaman’s Hat (Mokoli’i Island) and the southern ridge of Ka’a’awa Valley.

If you’ve seen the hit TV show Lost, or Blockbuster films like Windtalkers, Tears of the Sun, 50 First Dates, Jurassic World and many others then you’ll probably recognize the mountains to the north of the bay.

Choosing a Private Charter

While there are many shared tours that go out to the Sandbar, the best way to go is by private boat. A private boat charter gives you more flexibility and privacy to enjoy your day at the Kaneohe Sandbar.

Most of the shared charters operate one time per day, whereas the private boat charters offer morning and afternoon cruises. So private boat charters allow you to better plan your day at the sandbar.

Private boat charters out to the sandbar also allow you to customize your day on the water.

If you have food allergies, you can request a special menu. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, some private boat charters allow you to bring flowers or cake on board.

The private boat charter you choose will depend on what kind of day you want to have at the Kaneohe Sandbar.

You can choose from a sailing Hobie catamaran, a luxury speedboat, or a deluxe ocean pontoon. Each option includes lunch and snorkel gear. It’s just a matter of choosing the vessel that fits your budget and your needs.

Hobie Cat Sailing

Getting out to the Kaneohe Sandbar in a Hobie Cat is a unique experience. A Hobie Cat is a sailing catamaran made to hold up to four passengers. If you have a larger group, however, you can charter a second Hobie Cat and take eight people.

Hobies are fast and small, but they can still hold all of your snorkel gear! So you can enjoy this unique sailing experience and still explore the sandbar and reefs in the Kaneohe Bay.

Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Adventures is one of the only commercial Hobie Cat rentals on Oahu.

On this sailing and snorkeling tour you can also learn the basics of sailing and assist the crew on the voyage out to the sandbar. The crew will go over the basics before you set sail and then you can sit back and enjoy the ride or assist with the rigging.

The Hobie Cat Sandbar & Snorkel Tour

The first stop will be the Kaneohe Sandbar, but on the way you’ll sail past Coconut Island.

This small island served as the deserted island in the TV show Gilligan’s Island . You won’t see Gilligan or the Skipper, but you might see small hammerhead sharks or sea turtles.

At the sandbar you can enjoy swimming and sunbathing in shallow waters, taking in the view, and looking for sea turtles.

The water is so clear you can sometimes see the turtles just by peering into the water. After enjoying fun in the sun at the sandbar, you’ll sail over to the snorkel spot.

Snorkel locations will depend on the ocean conditions on the day of your private charter. However, you can be sure that you will snorkel at one of the reefs in Kaneohe Bay, home to numerous species of marine life.

Swimming, snorkeling, and sailing will most likely work up a good appetite. The tour will end with a fresh Hawaiian BBQ lunch. Enjoy lunch on dry land back at the He’eia State Park where you’ll also have access to the park restrooms and showers.

Luxury Private Charters

If sailing isn’t your thing and you prefer speed and luxury, a speedboat or deluxe pontoon is the way to go. Both of these vessels are available through Captain Bruce so the amenities are the same and if you have a group of 6-12 you can charter both boats.

Hurricane, the luxury speedboat, is a single hull deck boat that comfortably accommodates up to six passengers. While the deluxe pontoon, Fun Chaser, is slightly larger the capacity is still set to six passengers for extra comfort.

These luxury charters can be customized to fit your interests. You can spend the entire allotted time at the sandbar, or snorkeling at the reef, or you can do both.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion you can also arrange to have flowers or a cake on board.

Speaking of cake, you’re probably wondering what the lunch will be like. On the Hurricane and Fun Chaser you can look forward to fresh fruit and veggies, salad, fried chicken, masubi (rice) rolls, along with sweets and chips.

Alcohol is not included, but you’re welcome to bring your own as long as it’s not in a glass bottle.

These luxury private charters are perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

One of the added benefits to choosing the speedboat or pontoon is that there’s plenty of room for lounging and sunbathing on the boat.

If someone in your group is not comfortable in the water but still wants to enjoy the cruise and the view, they are welcome to stay on the vessel.

Private Charter Comparison Table

In case you’re still having a hard time deciding which boat is right for you, check out the comparison table below:

*As of June 2020 all transportation is suspended until further notice due to COVID-19

*All prices are as of June 2020

Your day at the Kaneohe Sandbar is sure to be a highlight of your Hawaii vacation no matter which vessel you choose. Or if you’re kama’aina, a day at the Kaneohe Sandbar is the perfect stay-cation and a great way to reward yourself after a long work week.

Soak up the sun and the stunning views, and let nature rejuvenate your mind and body at Oahu’s best kept secret.

Traveler Reviews

Kevin was the captain of our cruise and he was absolutely amazing. Including Kevin, there were 4 people on board for our trip. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was very skilled on the water. He dodged rain clouds as needed and he gave advice for snorkeling to maximize our experience. He was all about making it the best experience for us! He is also a skilled photographer haha. We snorkeled with sea turtles and manta rays and relaxed on a sand bar. Easily one of the best things I did on my trip to Oahu—I cannot recommend this enough!!!! Worth every penny.

Very disappointed that we were not able to go because not windy enough

THE BEST sailing experience ever!!! This is a sailing adventure not to be missed, whether you are an experienced sailor or not. Everything from pick up, sailing, BBQ, to drop off was excellent! Sailed all over Kaneohe Bay with guide Parker Johnson--experienced cat sailor, and full of interesting local info. Great way to see scores of turtles, and sea life. Zoe the driver, and all the staff are friendly, and totally customer service oriented. Can't say enough superlatives about this tour. Tom Gadzala San Diego

Best experience ever!!! Our guide, Parker, was super knowledgeable and took us to spots where we saw A LOT of turtles at least 50 of all sizes - I'm not exaggerating and even manta rays! We also got to snorkel with turtles next to the coral reef with no other tourists around, which was great I am now in love with turtles. The adventure was very personalized we got a sailing boat a tour guide for ourselves and geared towards us for example, we asked Parker to tell us about sailing since we were interested and he gave us insights throughout the trip. Even the food was awesome no sandwiches or chips, actual home-made local food : This tour completely exceeded my and my husband's expectations totally worth it! Also, they are a non-profit so it felt great contributing to their cause. The guys at Holokai Kayak and Snorkel Adventure were really great!

Captain Bruce's private boat charter on O’ahu is ideal for group parties and intimate family-friendly adventures. Personalize your Kaneʻohe Bay Sandbar catamaran charter to your group's schedule and desires so you can make unforgettable memories, island-style.

Sit back, relax and let the Captain Bruce crew serve your every need as you explore the largest saltwater sandbar on O’ahu and one of O’ahu's most unique treasures: the Kaneʻohe Bay Sandbar.

Once Captain Bruce's private catamaran tour arrives on the Kaneʻohe Bay Sandbar, you will enjoy everything from swimming with Hawai’i's honu (green sea turtles) and discovering a thriving barrier reef to stand-up paddleboarding the tranquil bay waters and basking in the sun on the sandbar.

Always remember to keep your distance and respect our marine life; Hawaii's honu, along with several other marine wildlife, are a protected species.
