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.

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. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

BIG ONE GOT AWAY
3/4 Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 7, 20265 adults

Jerry and Joe were outstanding! As complete novices to deep-sea fishing, we really appreciated how patient, knowledgeable, and helpful they were throughout the trip. We did hook into a massive tuna that had the potential to be the fish of the year, but unfortunately it came off just 30 feet from the boat. Needless to say, our family was disappointed, but Jerry and Joe handled the situation with professionalism and genuine empathy. They shared in our disappointment, and we appreciated how supportive they were. The seas were quite rough that day, but the boat handled the conditions exceptionally well. At no point did we have concerns about our safety, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience despite the weather. Thank you again for a memorable trip. We had a great time and would definitely recommend Jerry and Joe to anyone looking for a first-class fishing experience.

Response from Charter operator

What a fantastic memory to share mahalo for the kind words! We’re really glad Jerry and Mike could guide you through your first deep sea experience with patience, expertise, and genuine empathy, especially when that big tuna peeled off so close to the boat. It’s also great to hear you felt safe and able to relax despite the rough seas. We appreciate your recommendation and would be thrilled to welcome your family back for another first class (perhaps even bigger) adventure with us! 🌊

Awesome afternoon
Half Day Trip - 4:00 PM on July 6, 20262 adults

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.

Reported catch:

Thank you for the fantastic review and great photo! We’re thrilled you and your son had a great afternoon on the water with Jerry and Amber, and that you connected with yellowfin tuna mid trip. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated the welcome, the catch, and the take home filets and sashimi! We’d be glad to have you both back on the boat anytime 🎣🤙

This was absolutely the best fishing trip ever!!
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on May 15, 20263 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, 20262 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🤙

Do it.
Half Day Trip on June 30, 20264 adults2 children

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.

Skipjack Tuna

Response from Charter operator

Mahalo for sharing your experience and such a great family photo. We’re glad you found our crew friendly and knowledgeable, and that the boat’s accommodations worked well, especially the top deck for adults. It’s great that the kids slept on the couches, and we appreciate how the crew handled the timing challenges with a positive attitude. Your spirited encouragement to “Go America and go fishing with these people” means a lot. We’d love to welcome you back soon! Aloha and a hui hou! 🐟🌊
