Sailing Guide: California to Hawaii (San Francisco, LA & Seattle)

Sailing from the U.S. West Coast to Hawaii can be a very enjoyable experience and plenty of sailors make the trip regularly. I was curious how to make the trip, so I did the research and this is what I came up with.

How to sail from California to Hawaii? First, sail southerly, following the coastline to 35°N-25°N (depending on the time of year). Then head westerly for Hilo. The best time for sailing is around June when the weather is good and hurricane activity relatively low. The trip will take you anywhere between 2-4 weeks. The sailing distance is about 2,500 nm.

Whether your boat is located in Seattle or San Francisco, the route is pretty much the same. But there are a couple of important things to know before departing. For example, the direct route isn't the fastest - not even close.

On this page:

General sailing route to hawaii, the best time to sail to hawaii, the journey home, specifics for different departure cities, what the journey will be like.

Whether you leave from Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco or even Oregon, your route will mostly be the same.

Route : Southerly to at least to San Francisco or Los Angeles latitude (38°N - 34°N), then head westerly for Hilo.

There are three ways to go about your southern trip.

• Slowest route: follow the coastline and hop from port to port until you reach San Francisco. Then head easterly.
• Fastest route: coastal sailing while following the coastline at about 20-40 miles out. This gives you a speed advantage because the coastal current and wind help you out.
• Safest route: offshore sailing at 50-100 miles out. Smoothest sailing but you run the chance of ending up in the Pacific High, which means you'll have poor winds.

Most people seem to agree that the further out you are, the safer it is.

Steering clear of the coastal waters is safer because the waters are smoother and there are way fewer vessels at even 50 miles out. This makes navigation a lot easier. When choosing for coastal sailing, make sure your navigation equipment is safe and sound. You'll have to deal with shipping lanes.

If you do follow the coastline, watch out for the following points - they can be dangerous:

• Cape Flattery
• Point St George
• Rocky Point/Honda Point
• Cape Blanco

Why do you need to go south?

You want to sail around the Pacific High. If you sail too far north you hit the Pacific High - light winds and rain.

The Pacific High is a semi-permanent depression in the North Pacific. It's the reason Hawaii has trade winds all year long.

How far south do you need to go?

In winter, the High shifts towards the equator and then back again north in the summer.

So the earlier in the year you leave, the more south the Pacific High is. Which means that the earlier you leave, the further south you'll need to sail to get a smooth ride.

A good rule of thumb is to:

• in winter: sail southerly to about 20°N
• in April - may: sail southerly to at least 30°N
• in summer : sail southerly to at least 35°N

Once you reach your southern edge of the Pacific High, turn westerly. It will take a couple of days to reach the tradewinds. From there on, it's smooth sailing all the way to Hilo.

So your route depends on the time of year. The biggest challenge of sailing to Hawaii is staying in the optimum wind zone. This zone is small. Inside of it, sailing is great and your Hawaiian cruise will be a trip to remember. Outside of the zone, this trip will get either boring or chaotic quickly.

So what's the best time to sail to Hawaii? The best time to sail to Hawaii is around June. The temperatures are comfortable in early summer, and the hurricane season still hasn't really started yet. In July you can encounter hurricanes. In April the southerly part of the trip can be quite cold.

The hurricane season in the North Pacific runs from June - November. I've read dozens of accounts and most sailors agree that hurricanes usually don't cause problems.

They are easy to spot way before they reach you, giving you plenty of time to prepare. Also, hurricanes tend to stay between 10°N - 20°N. The Pacific High ensures hurricanes don't creep up any higher. Hawaii is at 19 degrees north so you won't really get in hurricane territory.

To get back, you essentially try to sail around the Pacific High.

Route: from Hilo, you sail northerly until you reach the northern edge of the Pacific High. This will most likely be around 47°N (Seattle latitude).

Then you turn easterly and sail to the coast. Once in range of the coast, you head southerly to return to your home base.

The sailing distance from Hilo to Seattle is roughly 2,600 miles. After that, add the following distances:

Sailing distances for the U.S. West Coast:

Below I'll discuss the specifics for the following cities:

• San Francisco
• Los Angeles

I'll discuss how long it takes to get there, and what the exact distance is in nautical miles for each point of departure.

Seattle - Hawaii

How long does it take to sail from seattle to hawaii.

It takes 4-5 weeks to sail from Seattle to Hawaii. It's roughly 3,100 nautical miles. At an average sailing distance of 100 nm per day (4-5 knots), it takes roughly 31 days to sail to Hawaii continuously. This is without any stops and under steady sailing conditions.

What’s the distance from Seattle to Hawaii by boat?

The sailing distance from Seattle to Hawaii is roughly 3,500 miles or 3,100 nautical miles. The direct distance is 2,550 miles or 2,215 nautical miles. However, the direct route isn't the fastest route because it runs through the North Pacific High, which has poor winds.

San Francisco - Hawaii

How long does it take to sail from san francisco to hawaii.

It takes roughly 25 days to sail to from San Francisco to Hawaii. It's roughly 2,500 nautical miles. High-performance boats may be able to reach Hawaii within 1-2 weeks. The exact time depends on your route. The best option is to head south to 20-25 degrees north (To make use of the trade winds) and then head west for Hilo.

What’s the distance from San Francisco to Hawaii by boat?

The sailing distance from San Francisco to Hawaii is roughly 2,500 nautical miles. The exact distance depends on your route. Most routes first follow the coastline south before heading westerly at 35°N - 25°N. If you'd sail in a straight line, the distance is 2,000 nautical miles.

Los Angeles - Hawaii

How long does it take to sail from los angeles to hawaii.

It takes between 2-3 weeks to sail from Los Angeles to Hawaii. High-performance boats are able to reach Hawaii within a week. However, they are likely to sail a different, more challenging route. At an average sailing speed of 4 knots (which is usual), it will take 14 days.

What’s the distance from Los Angeles to Hawaii by boat?

The sailing distance from Los Angeles to Hawaii is roughly 2,600 nautical miles. Because of the Pacific High, most sailors first navigate southerly, before heading westerly at 35°N - 25°N. This increases distances but is faster than sailing through the Pacific High.

San Diego - Hawaii

I've previously written an article about how long it takes to sail from San Diego to Hawaii. You can read it here .

Spoiler: it takes between 2 and 3 weeks.

What's the distance from San Diego to Hawaii in nautical miles?

The direct distance from San Diego to Hawaii is 2,160 nautical miles. The sailing distance, however, ranges from 2,400 - 2,600 nautical miles. The exact distance depends on your route. The reason the sailing distance substantially longer is that you first sail southerly before heading westerly.

The start of the journey can be quite cold, especially at night. The sky is generally grey and cloudy.

If you catch the south-eastern edge of the North Pacific High you'll probably get wet. The winds here are poor and it will most likely be slow sailing.

However, if you stay on course you'll catch the trade winds soon enough, after about 4-5 days of sailing.

Once the trade winds are in your back, the air gets warmer and dryer. The sky will be clear and blue, as well as the waters. The next two weeks are a very enjoyable sailing experience. Most sailors agree that it's one of the most pleasant ocean voyages there is.

My Favorite Beginner Cruising Gear

For trips like these, I recommend using sound cruising gear. It doesn't have to be expensive. Here are my top 3 items:

• Chartplotter: Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 74cv (check current price at Amazon )
• Compass: Ritchie Navigation Explorer (check current price on Amazon )
• Backup GPS: Garmin Strike 4 (check current price on Amazon )

For more details on each one, head over to my recommended gear section .

This is great!! Still trying to make sailing my reality ❤️

Shawn Buckles

That’s great to hear, all the best to you!

Kéri Harris

Thanks for a very helpful summary. I am planning to make the trip in Dec 2020, so your winter synoptic snapshot is particularly useful.

Jeremy Merchant

Aloha Shawn! Great articles & information! My gf & I are looking at purchasing our first boat & sailing from San Diego back home to Kauai. A 26ft 1988 MacGregor. I saw that you wouldn’t recommend sailing anything shorter than 30. With that said do you think this trip in this boat would be a bad idea? Mahalo for your expertise insights! Jeremy

Hey Shawn! I was 5 yrs old when we made the trip from Tiburon, Ca (Bay Area) to Santa Monica, then onto Hilo. We were onboard a 38’ DownEaster Ketch. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a I still have dreams about the trip. The dolphins, the stars and the flying fish that got stuck to the deck every morning! I would absolutely love to make the trip again as an adult! Anyway, just wanted to say Hello!

Hi Rachel! Hi to you too. Looks like a cool boat.

Hi Jeremy, You could definitely do it, I’ve heard plenty people making the passage in shorter boats. It could get a bit choppier though, that’s the reason for my recommendation.

Anybody need a deck hand?

Author very knowledgeable but the site so full of ads can’t read the text so will never use again.

Beth Ann Mathews

Shawn, My husband and I just began our discussion last night about whether to sail our Contest 44 to Hawaii. Your article answered all of our basic questions. I’m the limiting factor on such journeys, and I especially appreciate how you explain the big-scale pressure zones, prevailing winds, and currents and how they of course determine optimal routes. Thank you!

Norman D Campbell

This is not even what I asked. All I wanted to know was how much it would cost.

Hi Shawn, I’ve been wanting to make the passage from San Diego to Hawaii for longer than I care to say. I’m expecting it to take roughly 21 days on an Alberg30. So what am I missing in your math? LA to Hawaii is 2600nm. You say 14 days at 4 knots. 2600nm / 4nm/hr = 650hrs. 650 hrs / 24hrs/day = ~27 days.

How To Sail From California To Hawaii

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

June 15, 2022

If you live in California, you’ve probably been wondering why plenty of sailors regularly make the trip from California to Hawaii . Sailing from California to Hawaii can be a truly immersive and enjoyable experience but only if you know how to make the trip.

Sailing a large water boat from one destination to another on the large and blue Pacific Ocean is, without a doubt, one of the most emancipating experiences anyone can have. While hardcore sailors may prefer long jaunts, most of us would prefer short excursions to regions that we are very familiar with. One such trip is between California and Hawaii.

Although California and Hawaii are both in the United States, they are separated by close to 2,500 nautical miles. As such, this is a journey that requires a perfectly equipped long-range sailboat that can handle the nullifying winds and currents of the Pacific Ocean.

You’ll also need a perfect knowledge of sea sailing, a strong stomach, the courage to remain focused and hold it together when there’s nothing to see on the horizon but the deep blue waters for a fortnight. You should also have the ability to survive on short periods of sleep, the ability to change sail, the knowledge to fix a leak on a boat and such things. Nonetheless, the experience is thrilling and very few things will ever come close.

For this reason, this post highlights how to sail from California to Hawaii . The tips will make the voyage more enjoyable and memorable.

Table of contents

Plan the Journey

Planning for the trip is the ultimate thing to do if you want to make this trip memorable and successful. In addition to plotting your course, you should have specifics such as the best time to make this trip, the best route depending on your origin, the ocean currents, and the weather systems.

Another important part of planning is being aware of the required fuel capacity. The voyage from San Francisco to Honolulu is generally appropriate if you use a boat that has a fuel capacity of at least 2,000 gallons. While this may depend on the power of your boat, it’s important to use a vessel that has hourly fuel consumption, cruise speed and fuel tank capacity that can cover the distance twice. This is to ensure that you can compensate for the currents and winds that will most likely work against you.

Given that you might spend close to two weeks on the water, it’s crucial that you carry with you enough food and fresh drinking water for the entire trip. In most cases, you’ll be consuming between 2,000 and 3,000 calories and a gallon of water per day for the two-week trip.

You should, of course, not make this trip alone. Whether you’re planning to travel alone or with a friend, it’s important to recruit a knowledgeable crew to help you with watch duties, as well as with other tasks. Finding a crew on the West Coast shouldn’t be an issue. Just post a notice at your local marina and you’ll readily find them. In fact, don’t be surprised if you find some crew members who are willing to help out for free in exchange for the trip.

Last but not least, make sure that the boat’s engines, electronics, mechanical systems, and navigational equipment are in perfect working condition. Equipment such as GPS, a marine radio, autopilot, and radar are a must-have. 

The Main Sailing Route from California to Hawaii

While you can sail from California to Hawaii from various Californian cities such as San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle or even Oregon, the route will generally be almost the same. While this may depend on the time of the year, the best way to sail from any of these cities is to sail south along the coastline to 35° N – 25° N before heading west for Hawaii.

In other words, the best route is not a direct sail for Hawaii. This is because the Pacific Ocean currents along the U.S. West Coast generally run from north to south. For this reason and as we’ve noted, you should consider heading south along the Californian coast currents before heading west towards Hawaii. This path is of great importance as it will take you away from the path of strong countervailing winds that generally blow intensely against the direct path of travel. Here are some more tips on the route.

• If you want the safest route, sail offshore between 50 and 100 miles offshore. This may offer a very smooth sailing but watch out so that you don’t end up in the Pacific High where light winds and rain may work against you. The Pacific High is essentially a semi-permanent depression in the North Pacific, which is the main reason behind the all year long trade winds in Hawaii.
• Keep in mind that it’s a lot safer if you’re further out. This is because the waters are smoother and there are fewer boats. Again, the navigation will be a lot easier but you need to have efficient navigation equipment that is safe and sound.
• You should follow the coastline at about 20 and 40 miles out if you want the fastest route. This will give you an upper hand on the speed given that the winds and the coastal currents will be of great help.

The Best Time to Make the Sail

The best time to sail from California to Hawaii is in June. It’s early summer, the temperatures are calm, and the hurricanes are still a long way. You should, therefore, avoid the southerly part of the trip in April as it may be extremely cold during winter while you may encounter deadly hurricanes from July to November.

The Estimated Duration for the Trip

When it comes to estimating the duration of the trip, there are certain factors that you should take into account. For instance, the winds, currents, speed of your boat, your navigational skills, and the direction that you choose may affect the duration.

While the direct distance between San Francisco to Honolulu is around 2,500 nautical miles, you shouldn’t take this route. Instead, make use of the trade winds by sailing south until you’re around 600 miles west of the Californian coast. The best vessel for this trip is a boat measuring between 30 and 36 feet. So if you’re sailing the boat at around 6-8 knots for 18 hours a day, it will take you around 14 days to reach Hawaii.

Coming Back Home

It’s important to note that the journey to Hawaii may be easy but the trip back home may present a real challenge as you’ll have to sail around the Pacific High. With that in mind, the best route from Hawaii to California is to sail north until you reach the northernmost edge of the Pacific High at around 47° N Seattle Latitude. You should then turn east and sail to the coast and you’ll be in the range of the coast. Finally, head south and you’ll be within your home range.

If you are one of the few millions who call California home, you’re very lucky. This is because you have a golden opportunity of sailing to the beautiful and pristine island of Hawaii and marking it off your bucket list. This is something that any sailor or angler would always dream of and it’s very possible!

However, always keep in mind that this trip is a dangerous one that requires experienced sailors with the right skills and sea sailing knowledge. Make sure that your vessel is in tip-top shape and have a crew that can handle unpredictable conditions with calmness, proper tactical decisions, and experience. Take this challenge and you’ll have a memorable sailing experience for the next two weeks and a great story to tell your grandchildren. After all, sailing from California to Hawaii is arguably the most pleasant ocean voyage in the world!

Guide to Hawaii

Say Aloha to the paradise islands of Hawaii

Just by breathing the words, Hawaii evokes images of heavenly beaches, endless sunny days and copious palm trees, whilst the reality boasting all of this and more. Far removed from any continent by 2,000 miles, the Hawaiian Islands are an idyllic destination for yacht charters and are becoming increasingly popular for those seeking a holiday of a lifetime.

Laced like jewels in the Pacific Ocean , Hawaii boasts eight main emerald islands, each one as ruggedly beautiful as the next. Although an idyllic location for a secluded yacht charter, Hawaii is located in the centre of the Pacific meaning venturing to the islands is not for anyone unsteady on their sea legs. The ocean waters can be subjected to swells so a sturdy vessel such as a catamaran is ideal for a Hawaiian yacht charter. With a warm climate all year round and warm people to match, Hawaii promises one heavenly day to the next. Although one of the youngest American states, Hawaii has a preceding reputation of sun, sea and sand which exceeds expectation upon arrival.

With a variety of glorious islands to explore, a yacht charter provides the perfect opportunity to hop from one to the next, discovering some of Hawaii’s untold secrets along the way. From Kauai to the “Big Island” of Hawaii, there is a plethora of sights to see and memories to be made. Nicknamed as the “Garden Isle”, Kauai boasts tropical rainforests, towering cliffs and sugar white sandy beaches. To the west side of the island, the Waimea Canyon is an unmissable sight. Often dubbed the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, this breathtaking geological wonder offers stunning panoramic views with copious trails to trek whether you’re a novice or experienced hiker. The bustling streets of Oahu are great for shopping and dining ashore whilst the volcanic landmark, Diamond Head, is a remarkable scene. Revel in the historical impact of Pearl Harbour before venturing to Molokai. Deemed as the most traditional Hawaiian Island in the isolated archipelago and often referred to as “the Friendly Island”, Molokai is renowned for being laid back and relaxed, combining the opportunity to do as much or as little as you please. From water sports, whale watching and sport fishing to reading a book under a palm tree, the choice is all yours. The island of Lanai is untouched and tranquil with miles of sun kissed shoreline for that ‘get away from it all’ feel whereas sightseeing at Keahiakawlo is a one of a kind experience. Renowned as the “Garden of the Gods”, this location transforms into an enchanting sight at dusk as the setting sun casts a warm orange glow on the rocks, illuminating this fascinating rock garden in brilliant shades of red and purple. 

Meander from one isle to another, sightseeing, sun bathing and sampling cuisine. Maui offers heavenly beaches, tumbling waterfalls and quaint small towns. Keep an eye out for the humpback whales that migrate here every year and don’t leave until you have experienced the awe-inspiring volcanoes at Haleakala National Park. Last but certainly not least, no charter to Hawaii would be complete without a final stop off at the “Big Island”, aptly named Hawaii Island. By day, gaze in admiration at Kilauea within Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park, witness the tallest sea mountain, Mauna Kea and sip on the famous Kona coffee before paying a well-earned visit to Hapuna beach, often deemed as one of the best beaches in the world.  As the sun sets, watch out for the glittering stars which dazzle like a diamond chandelier in the clear night sky.

Hawaii encompasses vast expressions of nature, lush vegetation and divine landmarks, which come together to complete this natural wonderland. With so much to explore, admire and adore, Hawaii exceeds every expectation.

Tropical storms and hurricanes pose significant risks to crew and boat safety. That’s why close monitoring of weather forecasts and avoidance of sailing during severe weather periods is crucial. Rough seas with high waves make sailing more challenging and slower. On the contrary, calm seas are preferred for a smoother and faster voyage.

To ensure a safe and efficient journey, careful planning that considers weather conditions is essential. It is advised to consult with experienced sailors and maritime experts, regularly monitor weather updates, and adjust the sailing schedule based on forecasted weather conditions. Having proper safety equipment and emergency procedures in place is vital to mitigate risks associated with adverse weather conditions.

Safety Measures

When traveling from Los Angeles to Hawaii , prioritize safety. Here are some important measures to consider:

– Life jackets: Ensure everyone on board has access to well-fitting life jackets. Wear them at all times on deck or in open waters.

– Navigation lights: Maintain functioning lights on the boat for visibility to other vessels, especially at night or in low visibility conditions.

– EPIRB or emergency beacon: Carry an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) to signal distress in emergencies. Register the EPIRB with authorities and ensure it is working.

– Fire extinguishers: Have accessible, working fire extinguishers on board. Inspect them regularly and make sure everyone knows their location and how to use them.

– First aid kit: Keep a well-stocked, up-to-date kit for medical emergencies during the voyage.

– Safety harnesses and tethers: Use these in rough weather or when working on deck to prevent falls overboard and keep everyone safe.

– Weather monitoring: Continuously monitor the weather and be ready to take action in storms or severe weather. Stay updated with forecasts and follow warnings from authorities.

Communication and Navigation

Communication and navigation are two essential aspects of a safe and successful voyage when sailing from Los Angeles to Hawaii . It is crucial to have effective communication in place to ensure that the crew members can promptly respond to any issues or emergencies that may arise during the journey. This can be achieved by establishing clear communication channels, such as radios or satellite phones, in order to maintain constant contact with the crew, other vessels, and the relevant authorities.

Equally important is proper navigation , as it helps determine the most efficient route and allows for necessary adjustments based on weather conditions. Navigational tools like charts, compasses, and GPS systems are utilized to accurately plot the course. Keeping a close eye on weather reports and forecasts helps in anticipating potential challenges and planning accordingly.

Having precise navigation techniques in place also helps to avoid hazards such as reefs or shallow areas, which ultimately ensures the safety of both the vessel and everyone on board. This involves understanding navigational markers, interpreting tidal patterns, and continuously monitoring the vessel’s position.

By prioritizing clear communication and precise navigation, the crew can enhance their proficiency and contribute to a smoother journey. Developing effective communication skills and maintaining a high level of navigation expertise enables the crew to successfully navigate the voyage and reach their destination in a timely manner.

Ocean Positive+ and Carbon Neutral

Not a day goes by that we aren’t thankful for calling the ocean our office. We want to be sure to treat our beloved ocean and planet with care. That’s why starting 2022 we are officially ocean positive and carbon neutral.

Ocean Positive

To accomplish carbon neutrality on each of our bookings we proudly partnered up with SeaTrees. Together we work out what the emissions are on each booking, based on boat type, time spent on the water, speed, etcetera. Los Angeles Yacht Charter than purchases tokens (per ton)based on the calculations. These tokens go towards projects that restore multiple ecosystems to sequester CO2. Each token purchased go towards three eco goals:

- 1.0 ton of CO2 sequestered using VCS certified carbon offsets - 4 mangrove trees planted - 1.0 sq-ft of kelp

The purpose of this mix is to first become “net-zero” with Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) certified carbon credits. Then, the additional mangrove trees and kelp forest will sequester an additional 1.2 tons of CO2 over the 25 year life of the trees, which makes the action “Ocean Positive”.

Giant Kelp Restoration – California, Palos Verdes

Kelp ecosystems in California are in a state of crisis. In Southern California more than 85% of the giant kelp forests have been devastated, and in Northern California almost 95% of the bull kelp forests have disappeared in the last 10 years. Caused by the proliferation of purple sea urchins, as their predators disappear due to human impacts and climate change.

Clearing  “urchin barrens” allows rapidly growing kelp to regrow and re-establish healthy kelp forests – creating habitat for marine life and sequestering carbon emissions.

Coral Reefs – Bali, Indonesia 

This project restores the degraded coral reefs on Nusa Penida Island in Bali, Indonesia. SeaTrees project partner, Ocean Gardener, employs local Balinese fishermen to restore the reef and monitor the regeneration until it can survive on its own.

This is important because coral reefs are threatened globally. About half of the world’s coral reefs have been lost in the last 30 years. More than 60% of the remaining reefs are threatened by human activity, with Indonesia being one of the largest areas of vulnerability. Known as the “rainforests of the sea,” coral reefs are the largest living structures on earth and support 25% of marine life.

HO’OWAIWAI Watershed – Maui, Hawaii

Restores and maintains the land by direct restoration of the stream bed and regenerative agricultural practices, which then serves the community as a source of regenerative organic produce, erosion prevention, and protection for the neighboring reefs.

Magrove Restoration – Indonesia, Biak Island Region  

Restore, replant, and protect the area’s unique and vital forest systems. This project restores and protects 46 hectares of highly degraded mangrove forest. Biak Island’s mangrove estuaries are 75% deforested. Located in the center of the Coral Triangle, the reefs around the Biak Island Region have some of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet.

Kenya, Mida Creek Watamu

This project restores 100+ hectares of degraded mangrove forest within the Malindi Watamu National Marine Park and Reserve – a UNESCO Designated Biosphere Area + one of the world’s oldest marine protected areas. Mida Creek is an important stopover for migratory birds, home to a critical sea turtle habitat and nesting areas, is used as a nursing ground for humpback whales, and has a large resident population of Indo-pacific bottlenose dolphin.
