    Amazing Family Fishing Trip

    4-Hour Private Fishing Yacht 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

    6-Hour Private Fishing Yacht 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.

    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!

    Good for Sportsfishing

    8-Hour Private Fishing Yacht 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

    4-Hour Private Fishing Yacht 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.
