Honolulu has a fish with your name on it, so let Ohana Deep Sea Fishing help you catch it!
Depending on the season, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Shortbill Spearfish, Bigeye Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and anything else that bites. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Ohana Deep Sea Fishing is a child-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your vessel for the day is a 48' Viking sportfisher with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

This was absolutely the best fishing trip ever!!
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on May 15, 2026 • 3 adults
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!!

Great Day on the Water!
3/4 Day Trip on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults
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🤙

Amazing Trip!
Full Day Trip on December 21, 2025 • 4 adults
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.

Fantastic trip
3/4 Day Trip on December 27, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
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!
