Ruckus Sportfishing will take you on an adventure of a lifetime! If you're looking for some of the most memorable fishing trips Honolulu has to offer, look no further than this premier fishing charter of Oahu.

The boat you'll be fishing on is called 'Ruckus,' a beautiful 36' Topaz Express. This express cruiser is powered by twin 440 HP Yanmar engines, which enables a smooth ride. She has a swim step that can be used as a scuba diving platform. Once you're done with diving, you can wash off the salt and sand in the boat's hot water shower. She also features a very spacious back deck and cushioned and covered seating area.

Your adventure starts at the Kewalo Basin Harbor. Just minutes after departure, rods are out and lines are in the water. Get ready for some of the best fishing in Oahu, where you can catch everything from Ono (Wahoo), Blue Marlin, and Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) to Mahi Mahi and much more.

If we go out and have a good day and catch a bunch of fish we will come back in take some pictures and start cutting some fish for you guys and some fish will stay with the boat. Typically about 25 lbs +/- of uncut fish is what we will clean for you depending on the catch. If we have a slow day and only catch a few fish we will cut and bag them for you. 50lb fish policy, so any fish over 50lb we typically don't cut for the customers. But depending on the catch and the time of the year we may cut it and give you some and the rest stays with the boat. For more details please ask.

The boat will provide your fishing equipment, coolers and ice so the only things you need to bring are your snacks and drinks for the day. Please do not bring any glass bottles and absolutely NO BANANAS.

Whether you are on Oahu for vacation or you're Kama'aina, Ruckus Sportfishing will give you a uniquely Hawaiian experience that you'll never forget!

Amazing trip and crew.
8 Hour Trip on April 6, 20263 adults

From the get-go the crew was professional. The we caught one fish about an hour in, second one I lost right at the boat. After about 3 more hours of not even a bite we had 5 poles hit all within 15 seconds. Was crazy. We landed all 5 of them, turned around to go back through that spot. Caught 5 more. Mahi Mahi on the grill tonight. The crew was helpful, didn't mind us jumping in to help with getting the fish in, they were as excited as us catching so many in just a short time. The captain drove the boat with skill to keep the rocking down as much as possible. The deck hand was very experienced and just fun to fish with. Best fishing experience of my life.

Great Captain & 1st mate
8 Hour Trip on May 11, 20262 adults

Absolutely amazing charter! The captain and first mate were awesome — super friendly, made us feel comfortable right away, and had us on the fish fast. In just 3 hours we landed four nice‑size mahi mahi. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Top Notch!
10 Hour Trip on February 5, 20264 adults

Our captian, Ray, did everything he could to put us on the fish! Ended with catching a new personal record, 250lbs marlin. Jake the deckhand was super awesome and very knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend booking with Ruckus!

Caught 3 great fish 1 tuna and 2 Ono 2 1/2 hours in to trip out to sea. All three fish were caught and brought onto boat all in 10 minutes.
8 Hour Trip on August 9, 20253 adults2 children

Our family of five had a great 8 hour exciting trip and caught 3 fish all within 10 minutes. That was within 2 1/2 hrs into out our trip. Capt Ray took us 17 miles out looking for fish...it was amazing. The day happened to be right after the full moon and sea swells were challenging. We are our Ono and cooked our tuna that night and shared it with our local O'hana. Mahalo Capt RAY

Great Day on the water
8 Hour Trip on April 10, 20264 adults

Captain communicated which was great. We were supposed to fish on Friday but a storm was coming. Captain called and said we need to go tomorrow instead of Friday. Without any hesitation we agreed. Put on us fish, the mate was amazing and so cool. We had a blast. Would definitely recommend.
