The VENTURE Boat from MANA Cruises is perfect for exploring the nearshore waters of Ko Olina and West Oahu. Our crew consistently cruise and fish within 1-2 miles from shore in depths of 10 feet to 100 fathoms.  We run 2-5 poles at a time and have two active anglers at a time.

Aboard the VENTURE Boat we focus on nearshore fishing, light tackle trolling, bottom fishing, novice fishing, snorkeling, wildlife viewing, swimming and having fun - perfect for the whole family! 

We offer Private Charters for up to six guests.

With our seasoned captains learn about local fishing technique, lures, ocean safety and more. Based on your experience, and general circumstances - most trips spend time light tackle trolling and bottom fishing. 

Though we practice catch and release for most fish caught, taking your catch home is a possibility based on legal limits and the Captain's discretion.  To protect and care for our reef we do often return all bottom fish back to the ocean.

Keep an eye on the water as ocean life can be found at anytime, anywhere. We may get a visit from Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin, Humpback Whales (seasonally), Bottlenose Dolphin and even Flying Fish.

Aboard our 32' Sport Catamaran, you'll experience the perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Our Fish + Snorkel charters provide a fantastic option to enjoy a little bit of both activities (gear provided), offering fun for the entire family!

For comfort, our vessel includes an onboard toilet, Hawaiian chips, snacks, water, juices, and coconut water. Extra cooler storage and ice are available for guests to bring additional food and drinks. 

State of Hawaii Fishing Licenses are required for all participating non-resident anglers 15 years or older with exception to active duty military members.  You may purchase your license and find further information online.

Awesome fishing trip!
Ko Olina Nearshore Fishing on July 27, 20264 adults1 child

The entire experience was great. The boat was very nice, clean and comfortable so if you have people in your group who aren’t fishing, they still have a great time. Captain Austin was amazing! His knowledge of the area and excitement for fishing made the trip top notch! Within 20 minutes, we were catching tuna, rainbow fish, and several other smaller species that were beautiful. This trip is a must if you like to fish or even view the coastline. Amazing fishing and photo opportunities! Ask for Austin!

Fishing fun with an amazing view
Ko Olina Fish + Snorkel Venture 10a on July 15, 20261 adult1 child

Our captan, Jesse, and first mate Tina were awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and great hosts. We had a few young kids with us, trolled for a while and didn’t make any larger catches we wete looking for- we did not mind because the cruise and view were incredible - the misty volvanic mountains and sapphire blue waters were amazing. The crew decided to take us to a reef where we all caught multiple tropical fish, all different species- the kids were loving it. Thank you for a great cruise and memories!

Until next time, wishing you and your family all the aloha - The Venture Crew

Amazing adventure for my Boys
Ko Olina Nearshore Fishing Venture on March 24, 20262 adults3 children

Captain Mark was amazing. I had messaged that this adventure was meant for my boys who are 10 and 12. And the captain did exactly that for them. He helped find areas that were active and they were able to cast and reel in several different types of fish. He was calm and nicely interacted with them while also giving them great fishing pointers and fish info. Definitely made their trip. I would highly recommend him and this company for your family's fishing trip.

Aloha Thuy! It was a pleasure fishing with you and your boys. Mark takes a great deal of pride in all he does and loves sharing it with the kiddos. We look forward to having you back again soon. Until then, keep the hooks sharp and lines tight. Mahalo - The Venture Crew

Great Time
Ko Olina Fish + Snorkel Venture 4p on July 24, 20263 adults1 child

Super friendly crew. Went out at 4pm as that was the only trip we could book on such short notice. The captain and crew made sure we didn’t go home empty handed, would highly recommend them.
