Ke Nui Charters
Aloha Anglers! Ke Nui Charters invites you to fish aboard the 'Hula.' We are new to Fishing Booker, but have almost 40 years experience fishing the beautiful rich blue waters of the North Shore.
Once you hit the deck, we'll be heading offshore to the fishing grounds. Time of year and conditions permitting, we'll usually stop to catch live bait on the way. Depending on the species you are after, a typical day is spent trolling 5 to 7 lines searching for birds, marine debris and current lines. When we find something, it's time to slow troll the live bait. Calm conditions also offer some great fun bottom fishing closer to shore.
If fishing a legendary boat is on your bucket list… Let's go! The Merrritt 46' has the reputation as one of the finest sportfishing boats ever made and this one gets the job done. 'Hula' carries up to 6 guests. She has 3 outriggers, a fighting chair, a live bait tank, and of course all the finest rods, reels and tackle. The boat is set up with all the essentials needed for safety, comfort and convenience. A/C, refrigerators, freezers, full size toilet, and comfortable seating up on the flybridge and down in the salon and cockpit.
Leaving out of Haleiwa harbor, the North Shore has probably the best deep-sea fishing on Oahu. With mile deep water just a few miles out, local species include Mahi Mahi, Au (Blue, Black and Striped Marlin), Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Spearfish, Aku (Skipjack tuna), Ono (Wahoo), and more with any luck. The catch will be shared giving you plenty to take with you for dinner, cleaned and bagged.
You can't go wrong when you bring a good attitude, snacks, bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation., just be sure to avoid glass bottles. Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day of it!
The 'Hula' crew is ready to chase the bite and give you the adventure of a lifetime in Hawaiian waters. Tight lines and Hana Pa'a

Our trip with Ke Nui Charters was absolutely incredible! From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Tim made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for an unforgettable day on the water. Captain Tim's knowledge of the local waters was impressive, and it didn't take long before we were on the fish. He worked tirelessly to keep us in the action, shared great fishing tips along the way, and made sure everyone in our group had the opportunity to reel in some impressive catches. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a first-class fishing experience. What really set this trip apart was Captain Tim's enthusiasm and passion for what he does. His friendly personality, patience, and commitment to making sure everyone had a great time made the day enjoyable from beginning to end. I highly recommend Ke Nui Charters. Captain Tim goes above and beyond to create an amazing experience. If you're looking for a professional, fun, and successful fishing charter, book with Ke Nui Charters—you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to fish with Captain Tim again on our next trip to Hawaii.
Recommend Cpt. Tim and Mike 100%. We were visiting at the tail end of winter and didn't have high expectations for particularly productive fishing but wanted to get out on the water during our visit regardless. So glad we did! The mahi were biting and we ended up with 5, including one around 25 pounds. Along the way, we saw whales and porpoises, too. Cpt. Tim and Mike are super personable and focused on providing a great experience. Friendly, full of advice, and just as excited for a good day of fishing as we were. The boat was extremely comfortable as well, with plenty of space to relax as well as fish.
Thank you Brent
Ke Nui Charters absolutely delivered the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. Captain Tim was ahead of the game from the moment we booked — he kept me updated on weather and ocean conditions and even reached out proactively to make sure our trip was set up for the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we were able to rebook for a day with perfect conditions. When we got out on the water, Captain Chris wasted no time. He had us on fish before 7:00 AM, and the action didn’t stop. His expertise and energy made the entire trip exciting, smooth, and incredibly productive. Dave, the deckhand, kept everything running seamlessly and made sure our group had a stress-free, successful day. His hard work and attention to detail made a huge difference. The results? Two marlins and two mahi-mahi landed by my party. Couldn’t ask for a better outcome or a better crew. If you’re looking for a charter that truly cares about your experience and knows how to put you on the fish, Ke Nui Charters is the one. 100% recommend.
Wow! Thank you so much Jacob. Was a beautiful day and your crew killed it. Thanks for being patient and flexible while the island was experiencing gale force conditions.
Our group of six all had wonderful hookups (multiple) on great quality fish. I recommend the 10-hour trip, gives a chance to fish several areas for multiple species off the North Shore. Capt. Chris had a passion for his craft, he went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an enjoyable trip, not only did we catch fish, he taught the less experienced on the boat proper techniques for landing big fish. The Hula is a very comfortable and spacious boat, plenty of places to sit and/or even catch a nap in the air conditioned cabin. I highly recommend Ke Nui Charters, LLC, the Hula and her crew, we will book from them again.
You folks were great. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Chris and Dave were great. They took the time to get to know us, keep us up to speed on the plan. Gave us great dirctiins so we could land the fish. also made sure we didn’t miss the views of the whales and dolphines. the boat was roomy and even with some huge waves, we were able to ride comfortably. truely enjoyable experience.
We enjoyed having you, looking forward to next time.
