Ohana Deep Sea Fishing – Reel Life 

My son and I booked a mid afternoon charter for four hours just to get out on the water and try out trolling. Jerry and Amber were very welcoming and good with my son. As we were headed out we doubled up on yellowfin tuna. We both got our fish to the boat at around the same time. We didn't catch any others but the fact that we got two in the boat in the middle of the afternoon was more than I expected! When we got back to the dock Jerry cut us up some filets and sashimi to take with us. I would fish with Jerry and Amber anytime.

I dont have any negatives to say about Kahi and Mike, top notch guys and I would take them fishing if they make it to Biloxi. A 700 lbs Marlin would have been nice…but we caught some very nice Mahi and a Barracuda. Boat was great for my wife nice inside AC and clean bathroom. As someone that has fished my whole life on the Gulf of America including deckhanding, these guys are legit and would recommend them to anybody. Will also book again when we come back to Hawaii. If I had one suggestion, fix the upholstery on the captians chairs🤙

Our family of four set out on a full on fish “safari” with Captain Amber, first mate Blake, and Mike. Unfortunatley we didn’t catch anything that day, but we had a great time with this crew nonetheless, and will be back to try again!!! Mike was nice enough to offer us up some of the fresh catch from the mext day. You can’t count on fish to bite, but if there’s a crew I want to hang with if they don’t, THESE are our PEOPLE!!! Cheehooooooooh!!! Kaua’i will be back!! Mucho Mahalos!!!! 🤙

We had the best day, even though we only caught one fish that wasn’t a keeper and one got away. We made the best of it and enjoyed the beauty of Waikīkī from the boat. The captain and crew were great. We hadn’t done this type of fishing before and they showed us what to do and were very encouraging. We were a mixed family group 20’s and 50’s in age. Everyone was glad we went out on this charter. I’d recommend this fishing charter without hesitation.

We had an incredible deep sea fishing trip in Hawaii, truly one of the highlights of our time there. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew and captain made the experience both welcoming and professional. They were clearly experts at what they do, but also kept things fun, engaging, and relaxed the entire time. The fishing itself was fantastic, with plenty of action and excitement throughout the trip. The crew was attentive and hands-on, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great shot at landing something memorable. What really stood out was their energy and enthusiasm, it made the whole experience feel special and elevated it beyond just another charter. Overall, it was an unforgettable day on the water filled with great laughs, beautiful views, and some amazing catches. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Hawaii and would do it again in a heartbeat. BIG THANK YOU to Joe the Captain, and our fishing expert Kahi! You both made this trip something we'll never forget!!

Capt. Mike and his deckhand were amazing. They know what they are doing and were always hustling to get us fish. I would still rate them 5 stars even if we didnt catch anything. There are certainly cheaper charters on smaller boats. I chose to spend the extra money for my family because of their previous reviews and the size of the boat. It was the right decision. The seas were pretty rough. I was told that it was less rough than ususal. Regardless, it was nice to have an A/C cabin with big couches. A couple of folks on our trip got sea sick. It helped a lot that they could lay down. I could imagine what it would have been like on a 25-35’ boat. I highly recommend them and will book with them the next time I’m in town.

This was my second charter out of Honolulu and my first on the Reel Life. I will never use any other company on my return trips. I brought my two sons (10,14) along for the trip! the crew were top tier fisherman and instructors. They took the time to guide my sons through the process of what occurs if we hook up and explaned all of the facilities on the amazing vessel! We were lucky enough to catch two Mahi Mahi and had a chance at a marlin! Overall the only thing i would change is booking a longer trip for the whole day!

Spent 6 hours with Captain Mke and the crew. Fishing was slow across the fleet but Mike took care of us and our daughter. We had a great time on the water, clean boat and spacious cabin. We caught a good mahi an enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. Crew worked hard to make it an enjoyable and memorable trip. Wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thaks Captain Mike

Friendly and knowledgeable crew, and wonderful boat with comfy accommodations. I recommend the top deck for adults. We had two kids who feel asleep on the couches. Crew overcame some challenges presented by timing of military exercises on the water which they could not control. But they were not discouraged nor were we. Go America and go fishing with these people.

Captain Amber and Mate Jeremy were fantastic! This was our first deep sea fishing adventure. They both made us feel extremely welcomed and educated us on so much throughout the trip. We were able to catch not one but two Pacific Sailfish. This review truly does not do them justice on how great they were.
