Do you want to experience fishing in magical Hawaii? If your answer is yes, then go ahead and check out what Apex Kauai Sport Fishing 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 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! Here at Apex we have the most generous and liberal fish policy. Please remember that in Kauai, the catch belongs to the boat. But good news, with Apex Charters no matter how big the catch, you will always get fish! We will send you home with enough fish for you and your family to enjoy while you are on your trip in Kauai. Please know, there are no companies that will ship fish back to the mainland for you. So please plan on enjoying your fresh catch while on island.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Apex Charters! We look forward to hooking you up to a fish of a lifetime!
