Waikiki Sportfishing operates out of Honolulu, on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu, targeting the epic pelagic predators which abound in the deep Pacific waters offshore. Target Marlin, Ono (Wahoo), Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), and many more awesome deep sea species.
You will be fishing aboard the “Renagade”, a 38’ Hatteras sportfishing boat which was completely overhauled in 2015. The vessel now comes loaded with top-of-the-line equipment to give the best chance in your bluewater battles. She also has plenty of luxuries to make your day even more special.
The vessel is equipped with GPS and fishfinder, to get you on the best fishing spots. Once in place, her outriggers will allow you to target even fast-moving fish like Wahoo and Marlin. Tuna tubes and a fighting chair will let you work your way up the food chain, and hold your own once you reach the top.
The “Renagade” isn’t just some stripped out fishing machine, though. She also has a spacious, air-conditioned interior with a full head and a comfortable saloon for resting in the cool between bites. Up on deck, her large flybridge will let you relax in style as you take in the islands stunning views on your way to and from the fishing grounds.
You will be focusing mainly on trolling when it comes to the big fish offshore, but you can also bottom fish for bait and food fish, and even try spearfishing if you fancy something more active. All trips come with tackle, lures, and licenses, so all you have to do is show up.

Full Day Trip – Shared on April 29, 2025
Jackson and Nico were awesome, we were hearing not many fish were being caught the past few days so they had a backup plan for us to give us the best chance of catching fish. Throughout the day we only had a couple of bites but their flexibility and creativity led to us still catching a nice mahi mahi and had a great fight with unknown big fish. Overall the boat was great, the service was better, and the day was a blast

Rob and Captain Jackson were incredible! This was our first deep-sea fishing experience, and they made it unforgettable. The highlight of the trip was reeling in a Striped Marlin —what a beast of a fish! For anyone planning to try this, my advice is to work on your upper body strength—you’ll need it to bring those big catches on board!😂

Great captain, great first mate, great boat and equipment! Took us out on a shared booking even though there were only three and we brought two Blue Marlin, one Stripped Marlin and one Mahi Mahi to the boat before releasing them! Would recommend to others!

Great day on the water! Captain Eric and First Mate Elyza (sorry on the spelling) were super knowledgeable and super nice. They were very attentive to us and made sure we had a good time. I highly recommend them… if they don’t put you on fish, nobody can.
