We had booked a private sailing and swimming with turtles experience with C Tony. We loved it sooo much that we booked a sunset sail the following day. C. Tony and crew created a wonderful and memorable experience. If you are in Waikiki and looking for a unique experience you must book this.

Wonderful experience!! Captain Tony was a great guide and sailor and made us feel safe and welcomed on his boat. I've been to Waikiki many times but this was my first time seeing it from the water, and what an amazing experience that was. We rented out the boat and went during sunset. After we got out a ways, Captain Tony opened up the sails and turned off the engine... and it was absolute paradise. Effortlessly "gliding" on the water with just the power of the wind... There's nothing like it! You won't understand the feeling unless you experience it yourself! Thanks for the amazing experience and memories Captain Tony!

★★★★★ Ashlan P

Fantastic experience with Tony from start to finish! Great communication— Tony sent us instructions on how to find the boat/park a few days before which made for very easy arrival the day of. The boat is incredibly clean and comfortable. He is so thorough and prioritizes safety as well as fun. He took great photos for us that will be memories forever and gave us so many recommendations for the rest of our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!!!!

We loved every minute of this sailing adventure with Tony, on his beautiful sailboat, the Universe. Tony was a wonderful host and captain ….he made us feel comfortable with his knowledge and attentiveness, as we sailed in awe of the gorgeous shoreline of Oahu, Honolulu and Diamond Head! The beautiful deep blue waters, the sun and wind on our faces and the spectacular views made for a breathtaking once in a lifetime memory. A highlight experience for our first time on the islands of Hawaii. Thx Tony for making our dreams come true!
