Grand Slam Hawaii - Top Choice !! 

4.9/5 (61 reviews)
 66-105 Haleiwa Road, Haleiwa, HI 96712, United States

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!

Full Day Trip on October 18, 2024

Hopper and Jay were amazing! From start to finish they are on their A game! Cooler loaded with ice, a quick stop a little ways out for fresh bait, and then out to catch the monsters. They don't stop til they find the honeyhole of the day. Taking some serious freshwater fisherman out and making it the fishing trip of a lifetime is a tall order and they overfilled it! It was the best experience and they set the bar high and have us looking at dates to come back and we would pick them over and over, no need to look elsewhere! They made our trip and memories that will last a lifetime. LEGENDARY DAY!

Half Day Trip on May 20, 2025

Top notch captain and crew. I highly recommend booking this boat. It’s larger and more comfortable than other boats in that harbor. We booked a half day. The first couple of hours was a little slow and the captain kept us out a little longer. He didn’t want us going home empty handed and it paid off. We ended up catching 2 large Mahi and a wahoo. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Look no further definitely book this boat.

Half Day Trip on July 6, 2025

The boat and crew were top notch! After seeing several other boats in the harbor, this was by far the best kept and well maintained boat. The crew was very informative and worked hard to ensure we had a great time and caught as many fish as possible. I would absolutely recommend this fishing trip to anyone looking in the North Short of Oahu area. We will be going out again on our next trip!!!

Chartered Captain Hopper to take me fishing for Marlin and other fish around the island. Taking my grandparents and cousins with me. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable and just fun to be around. We got lucky on the hunt and did get a Marlin, a wahoo and 2 tuna. Overall a great trip will book again if I am even on O'ahu.
