Kohala Blue Sail Hawai'i - We've gone ELECTRIC!
Our vessel, the Dolce Vita, has undergone a complete overhaul - including the installation of two state of the art electric motors, as well as solar panels and wind generators. These allow us to operate mainly from renewable energy and almost entirely without fossil fuels. Guests now enjoy a cleaner, quieter and more enjoyable experience as we take in the beauty and marine wildlife of the amazing Kohala waters, Big Island, Hawai'i.
We have three sailing excursions to choose from for your private tour of up to 6 guests. We also offer shared tours for smaller parties totaling no more than 6 guests.

Enjoy our brand new 6 passenger vessel for an unforgettable adventure with the humpback whales. We launch right in the middle of the humpback sanctuary, where we find mother humpback whales with their babies (called cow/calf pairs), competition pods (often where we witness the breaching), and singing whales (yes, we do have a hydrophone on board). Captain Kelsey and team are very knowledgeable about cetaceans and Big Island history, that for a solid 1 hr and 45 minutes you will have such a fabulous and informative time! This trip is great for photographers, as Captain Kelsey is very aware of lighting and driving the boat so one gets the best picture!
Boat has a bathroom on board. Hydrophone. Relaxing music as we cruise. Cold drinks and a locally sourced snack is provided.
