There’s a fish with your name on it in Honolulu, Hawaii and Go Hawaii Watersports will help you catch it!

With their adventure packages, you can tailor your fishing experience to suit your schedule and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway, a leisurely afternoon on the water, or an all-day angling extravaganza, They've got you covered.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 47’ Cabo Express that holds up to 6 passengers. Some of the interior amenities include a full kitchen, downstairs entertainment system, air-conditioning, restroom facilities, and an estate room. The boat comes fully equipped with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Child-sized life jackets are available on board.

Guests who book full-day tours will have complimentary lunch catered. Guests will be able to choose between one of two options to best fit their dietary preferences

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Bigeye Tuna, Blue Marlin, Swordfish, Snappers, Wahoo, and anything else that bites. For these species, you’re likely to troll using heavy tackle. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!
There will be drinks and some light snacks available on board.

Helpful Tips: It’s never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sea sickness medication (take the night before as well to best prepare if you are prone or sensitive to sea sickness), and sunglasses.

Important Note:
The State of Hawaii requires all fishing guests to obtain a 1-day fishing license. This license is $20 and can be purchased quickly and easily online.
Please complete this step prior to your tour to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Half Day Trip (12:00PM) on July 5, 2025

Took the grandsons out for their first off shore fishing trip with Captain Mike and mates Dennis and Justin for a half day. Although the fish weren’t biting we did manage a beautiful Mahi mahi that actually tasted better than it looked if you can imagine that. It was a good life lesson for the boys as you never know what nature holds in store, you could land tons of fish or be skunked. The bottom line is we are all healthy and happy and were able and willing to experience a family fishing trip together - what more could you ask for.

Aloha Lance, Thank you for sharing your experience with Captain Mike, Dennis, and Justin. We’re glad you and your grandsons enjoyed your first offshore fishing trip together, even if the fish weren’t biting as much as hoped. It’s wonderful to hear you all made great memories and appreciated the unpredictability of nature. Here’s to many more family adventures on the water! Mahalo, The Go Hawaii Watersports Team

Captain Keaka and Kalani showed us the most fantastic day on the water. They were both so friendly and knowledgeable and made the entire day so enjoyable. We got to fight a blue marlin all the way to the boat and had a few other hits. Even without those the day was great. We’d highly recommend a full day to anyone looking for an absolutely amazing day with Captain Keaka and Kalani, where you’ll get amazing memories regardless of what you may or may not catch. Thank you!

My family and I have been on 3 charters in the last few years. Waikiki Deep Sea Fishing is by the far the best! Captain K was wonderful. He is super kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and a pleasure to talk with. His boat was perfect! My wife, a non fisherman, got to sit on the comfortable seating but not be walled off from the fishing action. Seas were a little rough today but the 50’ boat handles water great. It was a good fish chop. Deckhand K was a go getter. He wanted to catch fish just as much as we did! He worked hard to “hunt” the fish. He is kind, helpful, skilled, encouraging, and constantly on the move prepping lines or moving lines or swapping lines. These two guys are the best! Bonus, we did catch 3 of the five targets today. Super blessed. Thanks Captain K and K!!!!!!!! From Minnesota

Had an awesome time on this charter—everything about it just felt easy and fun. The crew was super chill, but also knew their stuff. You could tell they’ve been doing this a while, very knowledgable and willing to educate us. Good energy all around, made everyone feel comfortable right away. The boat was really clean and well set up. Plus, we caught fish! Can’t recommend it enough—great vibes, great people, great fishing. Perfect for locals or anyone who wants a laid-back, fun experience. Can't wait to go again! 11/10 Stars!

Beautiful Striped Marlin

Full Day Trip (6:00AM) on May 17, 2025

Caught a really nice Marlin about 45 minutes into the trip. We had a group of six and it was a team effort getting that fish in. Instructions were clear from the captain and first mate. That helped us land the fish. We did an all day trip, the crew tried getting us a variety of fish. The effort to do that was definitely put in, but that’s fishing. We are happy with the result. The boat was well stocked with sandwiches, chips, and drinks. Boat was beautiful. Lots of area to stay cool and rest. Bathroom available was clean and well maintained.

Capt. Jeff runs trips out of Honolulu aboard a 47’ Cabo Express. These waters are known for Tuna and Marlin and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
