    Great crew

    Full Day Trip PM on May 17, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 children

    Lucas and Anna were the best deck hands we've ever had! And Captain Andy put us on the fish and kept us in the fish. They knew when to hang back and let us have some privacy with our group and when to be present. When fish were hitting they were right there quickly and super helpful. This was our best experience of Hawaii!

    Full Day Trip on May 16, 2026 • 7 adults

    The boat was nice, the crew was knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Without all their combined efforts we never could have caught that once in a lifetime 518 lbs Marlin! Thank you for all the amazing memories!

    Amazing Family Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip on March 21, 2026 • 7 adults • 1 child

    After rescheduling several times due to the Kona Low, we were finally able to get out on the water and had an amazing time fishing with Captain Andy and his crew! We had three generations of our family on the trip and everyone had a great time. We had seven people and there was plenty of room for everyone on the boat. I can't wait to fish with them again!

    Excellent morning, book

    3/4 Day Trip AM on November 20, 2025 • 7 adults • 5 children

    Caption Andy, Lucas and JP made were wondrful hosts for the day! We had 5 our kids (ages 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2.5) with us and everyone had a great time! The crew were very informative and did a geeat job explaining to the kids what they were doing and about the fish. The boat was perfect - the hot tub was a huge hit! To top it off we caught several fish.

    Good for Sportsfishing

    Full Day Trip on July 12, 2026 • 8 adults

    We booked this fishing trip thinking we would be taking our catch home with us. The Captain informed us of 2 facts that were not disclosed during the bookng process or any of my conversation with the gentleman listed as the captain: 1. The booking company keeps 1/2 of the fish caught. 2. The company keeps any fish over 100 lbs to sell at market. This would have been great information into have while booking. Luckily our fish came in at 92 lbs dressed, so I was able to secure some for comsumpton. The crew was great and made us feel welcomed the entire trip.

    Greatest Time

    Half Day Trip on March 26, 2026 • 8 adults

    We took the 6 am slot with 8 people ranging from my mom to my youngest 14. Andy and crew were so helpful, a pleasure to be around and knowledgeable of where to find the fish. Hence our Mahi Mahi. Will definitely book with them again next time we are here.

    Iwa Kai

    Half Day Trip on October 10, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Fishing with the crew on the Iwa Kai was a lot of fun! We chose the 4 hr trip. Which wasnt long enough to get out to the deep water. Watching the sun rise was super neat. We will definitely be booking a trip with them again next time we come!!

Amazing crew
Full Day Trip on May 29, 2026 • 9 adults

The crew was amazing! Great communication from Captain Andy before our trip to let us know we needed licenses and other details. The entire crew were knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Our family had a great out at sea. The boat was nice. The cabin area was air conditioned. There was a kitchen with a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Assorted non alcoholic drinks were available but no bottled water. We went out for a full day and caught 1 fish. The crew gutted the fish and put it on ice at sea. We didn’t know what to expect when we got back to dock…on other fishing trips we’ve been on in the past, the crew filleted the fish for us and put it into bags for us to take home and cook. They didn’t offer to fillet it for us so we let them keep the fish. All in all a great day with family. Thank you Captain Andy, Anna, and man from Brazil (so very sorry I can’t remember your name🤦‍♀️)! Seas the day!

Highly Recommended Trip
3/4 Day Trip AM - 1:00 PM on August 7, 2026 • 7 adults

This was a great trip - Captain Andy, Sam and Anna were a terrific crew that provided a lot of education and great stories along the way and between the fish. Plus they were able to find the recently elusive Mahi Mahi, quite a feat and we didn't have to eat pizza that night! The boat was great - big, plenty of comfort for a full day and well equipped. This was a great trip and we would definitely do it again.

Great experience minus our captain
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on June 8, 2026 • 7 adults

Jerry who was our fishing specialist was awesome. He was friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable and made the trip fun even without catching any fish. Anna was very nice and very friendly, she made us all feel welcome and comfortable. Both of these people were the reason our trip was great. The female captain wasn't very friendly and seemed high the entire trip, she was about to fall asleep while bringing the vessel out of the marina and wouldn't slow the boat down to help Jerry or with fishing because she said we were running late. She was the only reason for any of our negative thoughts on the trip. The yatch is extremely nice and had plenty of room for seven adults.

Ohana Yachts
Response from Charter operator

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear that Jerry, our fishing specialist, and Anna made your trip enjoyable with their friendliness, knowledge, and welcoming demeanor. That’s exactly the kind of service we aim to provide, even in the absence of a catch. I’m sorry to hear that your interactions with the captain affected your overall impression. I want to explain that the captain was dealing with medical issues on that day, which understandably impacted their energy and ability to pace the trip as usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding in that moment, and we’re grateful you still could enjoy the yacht’s spacious and well appointed setup. Your feedback is important, and we’ll use it to address performance and communication to ensure every part of the experience aligns with our guests’ expectations.  To get a fish on the line for you, we invite you on our bottom fishing, a shared adventure complementary. Hope to see you soon. Aloha and a hui hou!

over a good trip
Half Day Trip on June 12, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 children

Andy and Lucas are some knowledgeable fishermen. Took us out on a 4 hour trip and got the job done in the last hour. We had multiple fish biting at one time, so having another experienced deckhand would have been nice. My nephew landed a nice marlin though. The yacht was extremely comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Also, they have a hot tub and that was a big plus for my kids. Definitely recommend doing a full day charter though. All in all a great experience and will definitely rebook with them again.
