SINCE 1947

Waikiki Sailing Company was founded in 1947 by Woody Brown in Honolulu, Hawaii.  A legendary Waikiki beach boy known for his contributions to surfing, sailing, and soaring — William (Woody’s son) set out to carry on his family’s maritime legacy. Woody Brown built the very first modern-day catamaran, the Manu Kai, and William followed in his footsteps by creating a catamaran of his own, Mana kai.

Today, we proudly operate the Hawea, a 50-foot-catamaran built by Woody Brown JR, accommodating up to 49 passengers. With its iconic Hawaiian Rainbow sail, relaxing lounge net, and a pleasant sound system, the Hawea is designed to offer an unforgettable sailing experience.

As a USCG-certified, environmentally-friendly vessel, we are committed to protecting the ocean we sail on. You can find us right on Waikiki Beach, in front of the world-famous Duke Kahanamoku Statue, and along the beachfront of the Hyatt Regency Hotels.

Reservations are available online, by phone, or via walk-up (subject to availability). Come sail with us and explore Waikiki in style, continuing the Brown family legacy!
