Fish with the tournament winning boat Deep Sea. We are new to Fishing Booker but have over two decades of experience fishing the North Shore of Oahu. We do not do tours…fishing is much like hunting and landing fish is our top priority. Many of the captains/owners of other charter businesses in Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor have either worked under Captain Matt Gorman or have chartered Deep Sea in hopes of learning how to fish. If you choose to fish with Deep Sea, Matt will be your captain.

Deep Sea specializes in targeting Blue Marlin, Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Aku (Skipjack Tuna), Dolphin fish (Mahi Mahi), Ono (Wahoo), and Striped Marlin. There are less common species that can be caught like spearfish, Kawa Kawa (aka bonito) etc but they are less prevalent around the islands.

Our 31' sportfishing vessel is a Hawaiian Mosquito hull. It is one of the few Sportfishing vessels on the island with a hull designed specifically to fish Hawaiian waters. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Captain Matt ensures that all Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for use. Live bait may be caught at the start of the charter but that depends on the day and season.

A professional crew will help you fight and land the fish. It's customary to tip the captain & crew 15%–20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation.

The business covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle!

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids above the age of 9 are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Please bring whatever you may want to eat or drink. Sunglasses and sun protection is also a good idea.

Please note that the prices you see at check out do not include state (4.712%) and harbor taxes (3%) as well as applicable merchant service fees.

    Awesome trip

    Full Day Trip on March 18, 2026 • 4 adults

    Matt and Ashton were awesome. They knew where to find the fish. If you are looking for a super fancy boat with koa wood and a place to rest, this boat is not for you. If you want to catch fish and have a great day, this boat is for you!! Very generous with the amountof fish that they gave us afterwards. highly recommend fishing with them.

    Hands down the trip of a Lifetime

    3/4 Day Trip on July 22, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 child

    The captains and crews experience was one of the best we’ve ever had. As fishing was hit or miss if you ever catch anything, this crew did not do what the rest of the fleet was doing, scouted the best fishing area even though it was not what everyone else was doing and put us on the fish. He scouted the day before and it was obvious that this was not just a job but their passion to fish as most anglers. When talking to other boat captains it was clear Deep Sea Fishing was our choice. We hooked up to 7 fish and landed 5. Mostly amazing skipjacks but included the largest blue marlin I’ve ever seen at 100” and well over 200lbs. And if that wasn’t enough the got us on a yellow fin tuna well over 100lbs. Everyone went home with more fish than they could use. Call captain Matt for your next charter! The trip that will never compare again for us. Thanks Matt and Neil for a great day!

Deep Sea is a professional owner-operated boat. We care about great catches and safe and memorable experiences. We cater our charters to our customers. Our expertise is finding open ocean pelagic species. No experience is necessary to have a great time. As your captain, I have a lifetime of ocean experience. I started working on charter boats for tips at nine years old. I have over two decades of experience fishing out of Haleiwa. I learned the do's and don'ts of charter fishing from some of the original Haleiwa charter boat captains. Rough seas happen but for the Deep Sea, they aren't a problem.
