Do you want to experience fishing in magical Hawaii? If your answer is yes, then go ahead and check out what Apex Kauai Sportfishing Charters has to offer. Not only will they show you what the local fishery is all about, but they’ll make you feel at home, too.

Our team will do his best to take you where the fish are biting. He specializes in heavy tackle, trolling, big game fishing. He’ll mix and match different angling techniques to do our best to ensure a bite from Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin, Marlin, Spearfish, or Rainbow Runner.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 47’ Buddy Davis boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet, an ice-box, and a fighting chair. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip, as well as the fishing license. There will be complimentary waters, but feel free to bring your own.

The catch will be shared with the crew after the trip. The first mate will be on the boat to assist with the fish and kids should you decide to bring the little ones on this journey, too. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. Please get in touch with the captain if you have any questions.
