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 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.

What the catch policy on Kauai? Our most important priority is that you have an amazing experience, and if you are lucky enough to catch some fish, we will always send you home with fish!

Incredible experience
3/4 Day Trip on June 24, 20254 adults
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! This boat not only has the comforts of a great riding boat for the conditions, but also AC, a head/toilet, a couch for naps, room on deck, and a fridge. On top of that, the equipment is very high quality such as rods are custom, Shimano Tiagra reels, and lures are very high end some custom/some Black Bart/huge variety. Lastly the captain and first mate were so great with the perfect amount of professionalism and also lots of small talk and joking around. I can’t say enough about the experience! We caught 6 Skipjack Tuna/Aku, lost a 7th, and lost more than likely a wahoo/Ono. That’s fishing, but we got to bring fish back for the family and friends.
Reported catch:
Skipjack Tuna

We had an incredible charter fishing trip in Kauai! 🌊🎣 The day was filled with excitement as we reeled in some amazing catches. We landed two mahi mahi, a yellowfin tuna and an ono, and the highlight of the trip—a 150lb marlin! 🐟🐟🐟 The thrill of the chase and the beauty of the ocean made it an unforgettable experience. Can't wait for our next adventure on the water with Captain Tim and Herbert!

Choppy seas
3/4 Day Trip on February 23, 20265 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!
