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.

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.

Available trips are:
  12 Hour Exclusive
  8 Hour Exclusive
  6 Hour Exclusive
  4 Hour Exclusive
  2 Hour exclusive

Fish Policy

    You'll split the catch with the crew and they'll send you home with cleaned and filleted fish. (15 lbs for 2hr, 25 lbs for 4 hour, 35 lbs for 6 hour, 50 lbs for 8 hour, and 75 lbs for 12 hour trip of whole fish) for the group to split. 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!

8 Hour Exclusive Trip on June 1, 2026 • 6 adults

Jay and Captain Hopper were great. Jay was a great teacher, answered all our questions, and interacted well with all my boys. They both were very safety conscious which, as a mom, I really appreciate. We were able to get our tunas on the boat before the sharks got then and have enjoyed eating the best yellow fin tuna the last couple days! Thank you Jay and Captain Hopper! I highly recommend this crew!

Best 4 hours on saltwater in Oahu
4 Hour Excusive Trip on December 24, 2025 • 3 adults

My son, who had never fished saltwater, my brother, and I had a great time with Hopper and Jay. We doubled up on two mahi to start the morning, and then hit a school and hooked up four at once. From then on it was steady hooks and lands. From reading the reviews, it is clear that Captain Hopper knows what he’s doing. He does indeed. The lady that left the review from 09-Dec-2025 is hilarious. Sounds like her crew had an epic trip. I hope their fish feast was as great as the catching experience. We couldn’t recommend Grand Slam more adamantly.

This is the crew for catching fish!
8 Hour Exclusive Trip on December 13, 2025 • 6 adults

We had an amazing fish catch on our tour with Grand Slam. The captain and crew knew what they were doing, for sure, and we pulled in a huge catch including a 120 lb. marlin, probably 20 mahi mahi and 3 tuna. That part of the trip was awesome and the reason for the 5 stars. On the flip side, the water was incredibly rough. Almost everyone in our group got sick, one of us being extremely sick. When we asked the captain and crew to go back to, they were less than responsive to the idea. We actually came back an hour later than the 8 hour tour we booked. One of our group was very dehydrated and in bad shape from the seasickness throughout the day. Also, the captain said he had a "fish policy" that our group only gets 50 lbs. of fish and he gets all the rest. We were 6 people in our group and paid almost $3k for the trip and caught A LOT of fish. His "fish policy" was a bit ridiculous and never spelled out anywhere in detail (on his site it said we share our catch with the crew, no specifics). He did concede and gave us an additional 20 lbs or so after being confronted about it. He was obviously very concerned about selling the fish we caught to make more profit. That left a bad taste in my mouth.

    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!!!

    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.

    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!
