Explore the north shore of Haleiwa aboard a luxurious sportfishing boat with "Grand Slam Hawaii”! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, Captain Ryan Hopper and his crew welcome you aboard year-round. There’s nothing quite like fishing for big pelagics in the Pacific and they’re here to help land you a trophy.

Your vessel for the day is a 47’ Hatteras offshore sportfishing boat, ideal for 6 anglers who all want to fish at the same time. She’s the largest boat in the harbor and is decked out for both your comfort and fishing productivity.

The extra-large deck is perfect for battling it out with your targets and you’ll definitely make use of the fighting chair and outriggers. Step into the luxurious indoor cabin and you’ll find a full-size toilet, AC, ample seating, and a music system. You won’t want to miss out on the view from the fly-bridge either!

Big fish are the name of the game here and the productive Pacific waters don’t disappoint. If it’s magnificent Pacific Blue Marlin you’re after, this is the spot for you. These giants come in as large as 1000 pounds, so prepare to have your rods bending. There’s also plenty of Mahi Mahi, Spearfish, and Tuna to hook too.

You’ll split the catch with the crew and they’ll send you home with cleaned and filleted fish. They provide top-notch equipment to increase your productiveness and work hard to make sure you have a good time. If you’re happy with the service a 20% tip is customary.

Bring along any drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy throughout the day, and don’t forget your sun protection! Just leave the bananas, glass packaging, and non-white sole shoes at home.

Experience the adventure of a lifetime with family and friends in this Pacific paradise with Grand Slam Hawaii!
