Noel Rubio arrived safely with his 32-foot sailboat (9.7-meter) sailboat Malulani on Saturday, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
Rubio left Long Beach on Dec. 28 and had planned to arrive in Kaneohe on the island of Oahu three weeks later. He last made contact via cellphone that day south of Catalina Island in California.
The Coast Guard said Friday that it was unable to find Rubio despite searching harbors in California, Hawaii, and Mexico and sending urgent marine information broadcasts. Rubio's only form of communication on board the Malulani was a VHF-FM marine band radio.
