    an awesome experience

    Full Day Trip on August 27, 2026 • 5 adults

    the seas were rough, the boat is a Cadillac, it handled the waves very well, fishing was slow and we caught two male Marlin at once but only one stayed on for pictures. Captain Tim and mate Herbie worked very hard to put is on fish, Herbie never stopped changing up lures and trying different teasers. fishing is fishing! Thank you so much for a great and memorable trip!

    Experience of a lifetime!!!

    3/4 Day Trip on June 30, 2026 • 5 adults

    I’ve taken multiple charters all over Hawaii and this was by far the best. Tim and Herbert were the best crew I’ve ever seen. Herbert was an absolute rockstar (even working a hand line). Tim was an expert captain on handling roughish seas. We caught 7 nice skipjacks and my family of 5 had an awesome time. Can’t wait to sync up with this crew next time we are in Kauai!!!

    Great trip!

    3/4 Day Trip on June 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    The crew, Tim and Herbert, were awesome! Despite one sea sick person on our trip, we had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. We caught an ono, 3 tuna, and 2 marlin and had a few more on the line. Would definitely recommend this trip, regardless of your skill level, for anyone looking for a great experience deep sea fishing.

    Great trip

    3/4 Day Trip on August 9, 2026 • 5 adults

    this was the best offshore fishing trip that I’ve ever experienced. The captain and first mate were unbelievable at putting us on fish as well as working hard to stay in front of the schools. The entire experience was very professional and would be family friendly.

    The Captain and Deckhand worked their tails off and the deckhand was one of the best I ever had the pleasure of being on a boat with I was the lone fisherman the day I went out because everyone baled because it was a little rough but caught some great fish and slept like a baby that night these folks know what they are doing so book them you want be disappointed

    Choppy seas

    3/4 Day Trip on February 23, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our trip had some not ideal weather. Captain Tim and Wilber on deck were very enthusiastic and worked extremely hard to try and get us on fish in very sub optimal conditions. All in all even with 3 out of our 5 getting sea sick we had an amazing experience. I will 100% return and fish with these boys again!

wonderful!
3/4 Day Trip on June 20, 2026 • 4 adults

The experience was wonderful. The crew did an amazing job working hard to find the fish. There was plenty of room to relax in the shade. The cabin is air conditioned and has couches some of us slept on. The crew were nice to talk to. We hooked a huge marlin that we faught for a while before we lost it. Very exciting. The entire experience was enjoyable. Very glad we had this experience. I would encourage people to do it.

Gave it our best
3/4 Day Trip on August 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

While we did not catch any fish, Captain Tim and our mate, Hubert certainly tried. It’s called “fishing” for a reason;) seas were a bit rough with 4-6 footers but the big boat made it easy and we knew going into the day there would be some chop. Great conversation with Hubert. When we come back at some point down the road, we will be sure to look up Apex.
