If you're up for some fun on Hawaiian waters off the coast of the island of Kauai, join Makai Sportfishing charters for an authentic experience! Captain Sean Lawrence, a passionate scuba diver and Captain Rob, an experienced fisherman who grew up on the water, are the charter owners. They'll make sure you have an unforgettable time.

Come fishing on their 42' Uniflite motor yacht, powered by twin Detroit engines. It's a comfortable boat that can accommodate up to 6 people for a day outdoors. There's a toilet and Fridge on board for your convenience, as well as air conditioning and a multimedia system to make your day that much more enjoyable.

You'll fish using 7 All Shimano reels with Custom rods provided by the crew. The captain is willing to cut any fish under 20lbs to enjoy while on the island. The crew takes the bigger ones to the market to cover the tackle. The main style of fishing is Surface Trolling Artificial Lures, trying to cover as much ground as possible with as many lines in the water as possible. We do not have a lot of structure, so looking for Birds and Debre are our main ways of finding the fish.

Depending on the season, you'll target the 5 main pelagic fish – Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Ono or Wahoo, Marlin, and whatever else is willing to bite along the way, including Rainbow runner, Barracudas, and a few other not so common fish. Your crew will make sure to take you to the richest fishing grounds to maximize your chances of reeling in some monsters!

Kids 5 and older are welcome on board, so you can have some family time and make great memories on your vacation. There are life jackets in all sizes, so safety is a priority.

We do provide everything needed to fish and take care of the fish. We also provide water, but you are more than welcome to bring any food or beverages you would like, just no glass, please. Also recommend hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, light rain jacket and easily removable shoes for the cabin.

Fishing trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Shared on November 3, 20253 adults1 child
Although we had no luck in catching anything the experience was good. Three out of 6 of us were pretty sick the entire time despite being prepared with all the meds. The crew was amazing, they explained everything which made me feel safe for myself and my family. We had my two boys with my 9 year old being the youngest and he did amazing. When the waves felt a little intense the crew came down and reassured me this was a good day. I had no concerns after that. He was also very fun to chat with. The overall experience was good. We will try deep sea fishing again one day. Thank you to the crew !!

Had a great time despite seasickness
6 Hour Trip (AM) – Private on November 1, 20252 adults
Sean and Rob were awesome. They got us on fish right off the bat, caught a nice mahi mahi, then hooked up on three skipjacks all at the same time. Since there were just the two of us, that was a little bit problematic but skipjack #2 helped us out by letting go of the hook pretty quickly, so I was able to shift over to #3. Got those fish in quickly and then got hit pretty hard with seasickness, so I was out of action for a large portion of the rest of the day. Despite that, Sean kept us entertained while Rob kept us on the hunt for more fish. No marlin blessed us by grabbing our bait, but we came back with a good haul of fish and at Sean’s recommendation, we took them to the Port Allen Sunset grill and had our catch prepared right off the boat. It was amazingly good. We will definitely book again with Sean and Rob if/when we get back to Kauai. Thanks again for a great day

Rad trip with big fish and an awesome crew
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private on October 23, 20253 adults1 child
We had a blast fishing with Captain Rob, Sean and Mana. They made us feel safe in big seas. We pulled up 5 yellowfin tuna. The crew helped us catch 3 at once which did not seem like an easy feat. It took some muscle and endurance to reel the fish in but luckily the guys were super helpful. We kept enough fish to eat on our trip and the crew took the rest to market. I like that we only kept what we could eat fresh since the fish would be wasted if we froze it to take home. We will never forget this trip!

Best Fishing Chater Hands Down!
6 Hour Trip (AM) – Shared on September 25, 20252 adults
Went out with Sean, Rob and Mana. Had the absolute best day fishing with these guys. My girlfriend Aubrey and I had and absolute blast. They were super accommodating, we caught 2 slipjack tunas, a yahoo, and a close to 300 hundred pound marlin in the rain between the 6 people on the boat! Will be a tough day to beat on the water, but we will spend a lifetime trying too! Book this trip!!
