My family & friend have come here to rent the pontoon boats over a dozen times! Every time has been…read morea BLAST! First off, you do need someone to sponsor you on base if you don't have a military ID since the boat harbor is located on base. Secondly, to rent the boat, someone in your party needs to get their boat license. Prior to the pandemic, they allowed 12 passengers on each boat but, have now cut it down to 10 ppl. It's $180 to rent the boat for a total of 4 hours from dock to dock. The times are 8am-12pm and 1pm-4pm. Once checked in, you will be given a quick review on how to operate the boat, directions on how to get to the sandbar. Once everyone and everything is loaded on, you're free to go!! Things to pack: sunscreen, snacks, lunch, water/drinks, floaties, and any other water toys you'd like to play with! You can even bring your furry friend(s) if you want! The one thing you CANNOT bring is alcohol. If you are caught with alcohol on the boat, the person with the boat license WILL lose their boat license for life! Pro tip: there are air compressors available for you to use to blow up your floaties and life jackets you can borrow for children. They also have wagons to haul your stuff between the dock and boat. Once out there, there's many other boats and places to anchor. Just make sure you are at least 20 feet away from the next boat. The water level depends on the time of day and year. There were a couple times I've gone and the sand is literally out of the water, most times it was a couple to a few feet deep. You should start packing up and heading back to the marina around 30 minutes before the end of your time frame to ensure you get back in time. Once in the marina, an MWR worker will flag you down and guide you in to your final destination. Overall, it's always a treat to be able to go to the sandbar with friends and/or family!

My dad (the legendary) Hawaii yacht racer Les Vasconcellos Jr has raced it many times (and i've joined him a couple times on more casual races. The club is very family oriented and they have many holiday parties all year long. The dining room is amazing and they also have a great walk up snack bar. I'm 51 now but i grew up here (and a few other other clubs around the island) and when I go back like I just did, old timers remember me even though i'm not the little kid they used to throw up in the air as a baby. Btw, if you need a boat bottom repair or cleaning, give my dad Les a call!!

I like that this spot is not too busy considering what's around the area. There are several attractions all within walking distance from here. When on this side of Oahu, be sure to visit and expect to spend a few hours at the least. It's no wonder there are several high end resorts here. It's less touristy and more local here but very comfortable and relaxing.

The property manager is constantly harassing us about noise BEFORE "quiet hours" and entertains EVERY complaint that is brought up to him not every complaint requires constant attention. If you plan on living here do NOT have more than 2 vehicles or he will charge you $50 a day for parking in guest parking and not show you anywhere in the "rule book" that wasn't given to us prior to signing our lease. The parking garages are difficult to park in and are height restricted to tall vehicles. The pool is nice.

This is an excellent place to keep a boat. It's secure, the other boaters are friendly, and the…read morefacilities are very nice and well maintained. I think slip sizes are 28, 34, and 40'. There are no liveaboards, but you wouldn't want to live on a boat with the air traffic anyway. Access to the community is easy enough with the gate guards and current vehicle information, much better than the military bases. Parking at the yacht club seems fairly safe, but the speed bumps on the way in are a little harsh and roads are narrow, but that's not a big deal. There aren't a lot of slips, and the managers aren't full time, so it can be a little tough to get in touch with them, but the rates are good and the availability is better than most marinas on island. There are restrooom and a clubhouse area to relax and hang out, as well as carts to take things to and from your boat. The finger piers are floating, so there are no tidal changes for your boat. The piers all seem to be well maintained too. The water is glassy in the lagoon, unlike any marina on island. Your chafe gear and lines will wear out from the sun before they wear out from the water. There is water and shore power, although only 15 amp service. Access to the channel requires a Pearl Harbor Permit, and you need to hail control to request permission in and out. At elevated security measures you need to schedule your exit/entry or you could be locked out, however, it has been smooth for me so far.

I believe his name was Alex. He took the time to text me a parts diagram to make sure we were talking about the same part for the correct year motor. He indeed identified the correct part and advised me he had one in stock. unlike past experiences where the guy in the parts department would tell you bring in the old part so they can match it up. What a disservice and waste of time. I went in and Alex had the part waiting. Please pay this guy properly so you won't have to hire donkeys anymore...

An Anti-Boating, Mediocre, Overpriced Marina With Attitude. They DO NOT want your business…read more I've used this marina several times over the years when visiting the west side of the island by boat. It's never been a cheap overnight visit because their prices have always been very high. But as a visiting boater it's always nice to pull in to a friendly marina for the night and have a nice meal out at the nearby restaurants from time to time. Historically, in the world of marinas and boating and boaters and marina staff, this symbiosis of objectives has served everyone well, world-wide. A number of years ago, Ko Olina essentially doubled the slip fee on all of their long-term monthly slip-rental clients. This emptied the marina occupancy by roughly half, so that now the marina was suddenly managing about half the boats for the original income. A shark move that Satan or a Trump family member would approve of, especially considering the limited slip availability throughout all of Hawaii. It was as though the cruelty was at least half the point. But I digress. At some point after all that, someone there decided that it's just too much bother for a marina to rent a slip for less than a month. This is a giant Fcuk You!! to the entire Hawaii and visiting boating community. They will not rent you a slip for even a night, even though they currently have several slips to rent. Even knowing that there are extremely limited moorage options throughout the islands and particularly on that section of Oahu. This coast features one ramshackle state-run marina with little to no space available, a few open roadsteads, which are highly surf and wind dependent, a total of ONE tiny ~3-4 boat capacity protected anchorage, and then there is Ko Olina Marina, previously a nice marina with some amazing (if expensive) aloha, now with their new attitude that they've somehow picked up along the way: "Fkuc You, we're a marina and we have slips and all, but pi$$ off, OK? We can't be bothered with your perfectly normal request for a slip for a night. A$$hole Awards, all around, you guys. Mahalo for nothing.

I don't have a membership at the Yacht Club, but was able to visit through an agency that offered a special key note and networking dinner.

However, as soon as I took my seat at our table I was offered Red wine and water:) We were served and endless amount of Summer Salad, Basket Fries and macaroni salad. I didn't find myself wanting much of the macaroni salad, but loved the unique presentation of the Summer salad. I would definitely return for another networking event and recommend you sit where you can see the fireworks.
