We specialize in big-game offshore fishing! All twelve months of the year, it's all we do other than days when the weather keeps us at the dock. Deep winter is the best time to catch a Giant Bluefin Tuna, and that's what we do best.

Depending on the season, you might hook into White Marlin, Blacktip Shark, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and whatever else is biting. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Reed can also have you kite fishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll step aboard a 60' Offshore sport fishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. Please note there is an additional 6% sales tax.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Kahuna Charters LLC!

Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 9, 20254 adults2 children
Took my two kids for first time for deep sea fishing. 10yr and 12yr had a great time as did the adults. Caught 14 big tunas and had a blast. Crew was personable and perfect for first timers doing a deep sea outing. Boat was roomy and very clean with all the amenities you could need. Will be booking with them again next time I am in town.

This is one of the best experiences with an experienced captain and mate. They know what they are doing. The boat was amazing and a smooth ride. 10/10 would go again with Captain Reed. Thank you for that Blue marlin and putting us on those fish.

Full Day Trip – Offshore on September 19, 20245 adults
We recently spent (2) full days back to back off shore in the gulf stream with Captain Reed Meredith & 1st mate Steve. "The Kahuna" 60' luxury fishing yacht is very clean, organized and very well equipped with best quality reels and tackle you need to land the species of fish your after. Reed was extremely knowledgeable and put us on the fish each day. Steve was very helpful and experienced and baited all our hooks and secured each fish we caught. We ended up catching over 100lbs of cleaned and fileted Maui Maui & Yellow Fin Tuna. We won't hesitate to book another trip with Reed & " The Kahuna" the next time we go to Outer Banks, NC.

Full Day Trip – Offshore on April 20, 20246 adults
I feel like I was overcharged and because of that I probably won’t book again. When booking the trip I agreed to pay $2600.00 I paid the deposit and that left a balance of 2340.00 when the trip was over and I was paying the captain I was then charged an additional 6% sales tax. I’ve fished a lot of charters from Maine to Florida and I’ve never been charged sales tax before. There was no mention of said tax in the booking. I would have appreciated transparency on any additional fees that I never agreed to

Good afternoon thanks for the review! I wish I could control the government but I simply can’t. You definitely could have spoke to me in person if you had such an issue with this and I could have explained it but you failed to do so. How about the boat? Was it comfortable? Fast? Clean? And the fishing experience.. did you guys get to catch the fish of a lifetime blue marlin? How about those yellowfin tunas that was cool huh? Probably tatsted even better! And the mahi for a bonus.! Did I manage to keep everyone safe while fishing in the middle of 50 boats in pea soup fog for 3/4 of the day? Just curious where that part of the review is! It’s a shame your only takeaway on an otherwise great trip is feeling ripped off for an extra $150. My mate felt the same way with his 15% tip. We do appreciate the opportunity to fish with you gentleman it was a blast!
