We have a family-oriented, fun, and exciting fishing experience waiting for our clients! With a plethora of fishing lures for our clients to choose from, a beautiful experience awaits! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tarek (T-Rex) can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are known for Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Pacific Barracuda, and more – with any luck; you'll hook into a few!

For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 29' Saltwater fishing that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Please bring a Photo ID to the boat, and there is a 4.712% Hawaii GET tax, 3% marina tax and 3% credit card surcharge. Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. Our normal fishing trip starts 3 days before by checking the weather, currents, winds, and other variables to ensure the best experience. After that, we decide on a location and communicate to the client our options and what fish we might catch there.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Ultimate Boating Adventures!?

    Fun, professional and 100% worth every dollar

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing AM on October 13, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Tarek (T-Rex) and his deckhand Ebbie made sure my son and myself had the most amazing time on the water. My overall expectations were exceeded. Didn’t break any records but we landed a few fish and lost a few fish. Can’t ask for much more than that. We all had a lot I. Common as we own a fishing charter in Alaska and it was great telling stories and learning a new way of fishing. My son was allowed to set gear which for us is more fun than it might be for other anglers🤷‍♂️. If you want to take your family out for an amazing time with an exceptional crew, look no further. Looking forward to our next adventure with T-Rex. Thanks for making the memories for me and my son.

    Good crew, good catch!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling AM on August 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    Overall great experience. Capt. Tarek and EB were super friendly and stayed focused all day on catching us some fish! We were in search of ahi and despite lota of effort from the crew, we only had 2 hits and only landed 1. just one of those days! Capt Tarek was relentless in hunting down the bird piles and switching up lures to help give us the beat chance - from what we understand it was a slow bite day all around. Very hospitable crew, very generous. Would definitely fish with them again. Great attitude, solid boat and tackle, and they went the extra mile to try and land us fish. A good day on the water!

    Best Experience and Memory

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing PM on July 30, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our fishing trip with Ultimate Boating Adventure was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The crew provided exceptional customer service and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped aboard. Captain Tarek and his deckmate were genuinely kind, courteous, and always willing to help, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The highlight of the trip was hooking and landing an amazing 32-pound Ono—a catch I'll never forget! We also caught plenty of other reef fish, which made for an exciting day on the water. If you're looking for a professional, friendly crew that works hard to make sure everyone has a memorable experience, I highly recommend Ultimate Boating Adventure. We'll definitely be back for another trip!

    Started with Smiles, Ended with Ahi!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM on July 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome experience with Ultimate Fishing Adventures on July 2nd! Tarek and his crew were fantastic, especially with our two young boys. They started the trip by bottom fishing to make sure the kids had the chance to catch some fish, and it was the perfect way to get them hooked—they caught plenty of fish and couldn’t stop smiling. Once everyone had some action, we headed offshore to chase bigger game fish. After a lot of excitement and hard work, we landed a beautiful ahi that was the highlight of the trip! The crew was knowledgeable, patient, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter that knows how to put you on fish, we highly recommend Ultimate Fishing Adventures. Mahalo, Tarek and crew!

    Awesome Fishing Trip

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM on April 14, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had such an awesome Fishing adventure. Captain Terek and his son EB were outstanding. My youngest son caught an 18.4 lb, 45+ inch ono and couldn't have been happier to reel it in himself. It was such a great experience for my family to be out on the boat and take in the beautiful mountains of Oahu, we even saw humpback whales and a shark! Terek and his son were so accommodating and engaging with the the kids, they had such a blast. If you want a true fishing experience and an opportunity to catch a monster fish, I highly recommend Terek. He truly was doing everything he could to get fish on the line. 10/10 experience overall!

    Great day on the water

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM on February 12, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had a great day out on the water with Captain T-Rex and his first mate. Friendly and very knowledgeable it was the most relaxing charter I have ever taken and very reasonably priced. We may not have caught a boat load of fish, but we all learned a lot and chased fish and made opportunities for the full 5 hours. When we didn't catch we all knew why and really didn't care. We will be coming back every trip from now and suggesting Tarek this to all our friends. Whole heartedly recommend this experience to anyone serious about fishing and tired of the commercial nature of charters.

    Best fishing guides we've ever had!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM on December 21, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was the most amazing trip from start to finish. Great communication, kindness, and flexibility with crew. Captain Tarek and Eby were so much fun and taught us all about the many kinds of fish we caught and Hawaii marine life--not to mention they were endlessly fun and patient with my boys. We caught a 70 pound yellow finn tuna and saw humpback whales, dozens of varieties of bottom feeders (when my kids got bored at the end we switched gears to the bottom, and the kids pulled up different fish, often four or more at a time, every time they put down their lines). The boat is very comfortable and it was such a relaxing afternoon. We spent the afternoon cruising through schools of tuna that we could see jumping out of the water and swimming past my feet as they dangled off the boat. It was a trip of a lifetime--don't hesitate to book!

    Magical tour

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing PM on June 17, 2026 • 5 adults • 4 children

    Capt Tarek and his son are fantastic hosts. His son played great music. They are very informative of all the local fishing and community. Very friendly and great with involving our four kids! We caught 4 yellow fin tuna (sharks got two). Nearly got a Marlin and trolled along with a jumping pod of dolphins to make it extra special. Bring a smile and good attitude and they bring Aloha and great fishing experience!

    Best fishing trip ever!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM on April 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    My family and I (wife, mother-in-law, and two Middle School aged sons) went on a 5-hour trolli g fishing trip with Capt. Tarek and his son who assisted as the deck hand on the lower section of the boat. we enjoyed a few minutes of bottom fishing and then went eight miles out to carch both Mahi Mahi and Skip Jack Tuna. we caught one Mahi Mahi and three tunas! we also saw a bunch of Pilot whales on our trip. This was a highlight of our Oahu trip! I would highly highly recommend this charter to anyone who loves fishing and wants beautiful memories with their family!
