Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii
Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii
Honolulu is often described as the 'racing pulse' of Hawaii, and an adventure aboard Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii more than helps the city live up to this reputation. Jump aboard – it's time to get those pulses racing!
It's safe to say that a love for angling inhabits every part of the Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii team and owner - Capt. John's life. He's been fishing as a hobby for as long as he can remember, was part of the Marine Corps for over 27 years, and got his first captain's license in 2005. In 2018, he decided to relocate to Hawaii and start running charters here. Now, he's running his charter business together with Capt. Chris Rubin and thinks Hawaii is one of the best places in the world to chase Marlin and Mahi Mahi and loves introducing guests to these waters.
You'll be casting off on board a 38' Bertram offshore sport fishing vessel. She's capable of accommodating up to 6 guests, and you'll be able to troll 6 lines in the water once. You'll have to take it in turns when it comes to the fighting chair – your captain will draw straws to see who should go first! The vessel is also decked out with top-quality navigational and safety gear, so you'll head to the hotspots in plenty of comfort and security.
No matter your skill level or how long you choose to spend on the water, you'll have the chance to battle big game fish. Once you leave the harbor, it only takes around 10 minutes or so before Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, and other hard fighters start to appear. Shorter trips are great options for newbies, whereas longer trips allow you to head up to 40 miles offshore. This means you'll be facing off against gigantic fish!
Your captain will provide fishing gear, your fishing license, and live, dead, or artificial bait. Keeping your catch depends on how many fish you hook, but generally, you'll be able to keep around 50 pounds of meat. Come cast off with Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii for an unforgettable adventure

Boat and crew were ready to go when we got there. Nice clean boat with excellent equipment. Captain Ruben, First mate Gabe and Noah were awesome!! I took my wife and three of my daughters. All three of my daughters caught amazing fish (2 striped marlin and a huge Mahi Mahi). They knew the girls were novice fisherman and were extremely helpful in landing the fish while letting the girls really soak up the experience!! They were great with the younger kids coaching them through it. I have done a lot of charter fishing and would rank this trip near the top, and the crew played a huge role in that!
Had an awesome experience with Five Star Fishing. Captain Dallas and Gabe were both incredible the entire trip — super knowledgeable, friendly, and made everything fun and easy whether you’re experienced or new to fishing. The boat was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time and caught fish. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a great experience. Definitely recommend booking with them if you’re looking for a top-tier fishing charter. We caught 2 mahi mahi (1 was a huge bull) and a nice spear fish. Took some work finding them, but they never gave up and we were rewarded for it. Great trip overall.
My family and I were in O‘ahu for a family wedding. We researched and booked a month prior when we knew we'd have some time and my sons (13, 15) are passionate fishermen. We live / fish on the east coast (NJ, DE) inshore, reef, party boats, family boats and shore / freshwater - but the boys have had a few big offshore trips and really wanted to fish the deep waters off the island. This was an extremely hard-working crew and very knowledgeable. Consistently covering water in rough seas, following bird activity and other signs. We ultimately had a very steady day covering miles of water with probably 10 hookups (Mahi) and several Wahoo on the way back to the marina. They consistently changed patterns on the spread, monitored lines, gave great instruction to the boys. Both had the thrill of their fishing lives bringing some big Mahi on the boat and the Wahoo were added bonus. As an experienced angler myself and frequent charter customer, this is a very competent and knowledgeable crew. Can't recommend enough. If you have kids recommend the 6 hour option - this is a deep, deep water pelagic fishery. At times the fishing can be sporadic as there's simply so much to cover. 6 hours gives ample time for action without wearing out the kids. The boys are already planning their return back!
This was me and my wife first time visiting Hawaii and our first big game charter. We decided to go with a whole day trip 8hrs package. What a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. Captain Rubin, deckhand Gabe was able to find bait fish and lead us to catching our first Mahi Mahi n Wahoo (Ono). I also caught my pb Mahi Mahi. Great guys very knowledgeable. We had an awesome experience on five star sports fishing vessel. Highly recommend for anyone trying to land trophy fish of a lifetime or just out for the thrill n fight. They also recommend a taxidermist so I can mount my lifetime dream catch on my wall.
I’ve been on a few charters back at home in Australia one in Bali and one in Fiji. All the promises in the world were made nothing delivered. Went on this fishing trip Gabe was extremely knowledgeable more than happy to pass on his knowledge to a part-time angler. Told the captain when I got on my dream was to catch a marlin and a mahi-mahi. Got the mahi-mahi early bit of a slow day which you can’t help but kept the lines in the water all the way back and on the return trip to the dock got the Marlin. We ended up staying at an hour overtime due to catching the Marlin not a complaint was made the boys were fantastic. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks again, fellas. You made a good day great.
