Learn Sailing Fundamentals

Whether you're a novice or have some sailing experience, Sailing Eternal Tides welcome all skill levels. If you want to learn to sail with us, we start with comprehensive sailing fundamentals, including safety procedures, basic navigation, sail handling, and knot tying. Under the guidance of expert instructors, you'll quickly become familiar with the terminology and techniques necessary to navigate the open sea confidently.

Blue Planet, is a magnificent ketch (meaning there are two masts), which serves as your floating classroom and home away from home during your sail. With its classic beauty and spacious decks, Blue Planet combines comfort and functionality, providing the ideal vessel to navigate Hawai'i's stunning waters. Paired with the expertise of Sailing Eternal Tides, a newly established sailing company dedicated to sharing their love for the ocean, you'll have the perfect combination for an exceptional sailing experience.

Learning to sail on a ketch, as opposed to a traditional sloop or cutter (one mast monohulls), offers a unique and rewarding experience for sailing enthusiasts. One of the primary benefits of learning on a ketch is the added stability it provides. With two masts, a larger sail area, and a balanced sail plan, ketches tend to handle heavy weather conditions more comfortably, making them a reliable choice for beginners. The distribution of sails between the main mast and mizzen mast also allows for greater flexibility in sail configurations, enabling learners to experiment with different combinations and fine-tune their understanding of sail trim and balance.
