A private boat charter gives you more flexibility and privacy to enjoy your day at the Kaneohe Sandbar.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87139\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87139\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87139\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hawaii_Oahu_shutterstock_711879574.jpg?resize=800%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A day at the sandbar makes for a perfect day in paradise\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hawaii_Oahu_shutterstock_711879574.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hawaii_Oahu_shutterstock_711879574.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hawaii_Oahu_shutterstock_711879574.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fun in the sun at the Kaneohe Sandbar<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Private boat charters out to the sandbar also allow you to customize your day on the water.<\/p>\n<p>If you have food allergies, you can request a special menu. And if you&#8217;re celebrating a special occasion, some private boat charters allow you to bring flowers or cake on board.<\/p>\n<p>The private boat charter you choose will depend on what kind of day you want to have at the Kaneohe Sandbar.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose from a sailing Hobie catamaran, a luxury speedboat, or a deluxe ocean pontoon. Each option includes lunch and snorkel gear. It&#8217;s just a matter of choosing the vessel that fits your budget and your needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Hobie Cat Sailing<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87140\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87140 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie.jpg?resize=840%2C645&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hobie Cats are a fun way to sail out to the sandbar\" width=\"840\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C786&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C590&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1180&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1573&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hawaiiactivities.com\/travelguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/KK_Hobie-scaled.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Sailing on a Hobie Cat is family friendly &amp; adds a touch of adventure to your vacation<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/hawaii\/oahu\/ctg\/165886?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=kaneohe_sandbar_private_87108&amp;utm_campaign=kamaaina_kayak&amp;utm_content=post&amp;sid=1486&amp;cid=blogKaneoheSandbarPrivateBoatCharters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Adventures<\/a> is one of the only commercial Hobie Cat rentals on Oahu.<\/p>\n<p>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.
