Deep Sea Sportfishing Hawaii

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.

Deep Sea specializes in targeting Blue Marlin, Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Aku (Skipjack Tuna), Dolphin fish (Mahi Mahi), Ono (Wahoo), 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 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.

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.
