Description

The Ala Wai Yacht Harbor (also known as the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor) is located at the northern end of the Ala Wai Canal where it empties into the Pacific Ocean. It's a popular place to moor a boat, and is the home of both the Waikiki and Hawaii Yacht Clubs. Over 700 boats can be moored here at one time, and all of the spaces are usually filled due to the popularity of the harbor; in fact, the wait list for obtaining a slip can extend up to ten years! The Harbor is also well-known as the finish point of the famous TransPac sailing race, which runs from Los Angeles to Honolulu and occurs every two years.
