Kailani Ocean Adventures provides experienced and novice sailors with the opportunity to make long offshore passages under the guidance of seasoned blue water sailing instructors.

Those who come along to gain experience will get plenty, and those just looking for adventure will get more than they imagined possible. Sailing the open ocean challenges your reality like no other venture.

INSPIRATION

Kailani Ocean Adventures was founded by Harley and Jennifer Earl, who completed a two year double handed circumnavigation in 2006. The many adventures they had together around the world made them realize how cruising sailing provides a fantastic way to travel abroad.

CROSSING OCEANS

Humans have crossed the seas for centuries, and while much has changed, the fundamentals are the same. Nothing compares to the feeling one gets from crossing an ocean with only the wind for power — you not only challenge yourself, but also embrace nature in all of its varied glory. Harley and Jennifer knew they wanted to cruise again, and also provide the opportunity to share with other adventurers the exhilaration one gets from “diving into the deep end of the ocean” …

ADVENTURE

Harley and Jennifer began their search for their next boat in 2007, and the result after inspecting boats in the US and in Europe was Kailani. With her size, speed, ease of handling, sea worthiness and creature comforts, Kailani is the ideal platform for the Kailani Ocean Adventures program.

Passages

When we are too well pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely because we have sailed too close to the shore,

Disturb us, Lord

To dare more boldly,

To venture on wider seas

Where storms will show your mastery;

Where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.

 

  • Sir Francis Drake (1540 – 1596)
