Bob Marlin Charters- Kingston Cruz
Aloha! Kingston Cruz and Capt. Danny invite you for a thrilling day on the waters that promises an experience you will not soon forget!
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Wahoo, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You’ll be casting lines from a 25’ Pilothouse that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 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! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
Please keep in mind, on half day charters guests will keep up to 25lbs of whole fish. Captain Danny will filet, process and bag the fish for you after your charter.
Don’t forget 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 you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Had a great time
From the moment we arrived, the crew was welcoming and professional, making us feel right at home. The boat was well-maintained and equipped with everything we needed for a successful day on the water. We were fortunate to catch a variety of fish, and the crew provided expert guidance on techniques and locations. Their knowledge of the local waters made all the difference, and they were genuinely excited to share their passion for fishing with us. The scenic views of the coastline were breathtaking, and the whole experience was made even more enjoyable by the friendly atmosphere on board. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, I highly recommend this charter for a fantastic day out in Haleiwa. We can't wait to come back for another trip!

Amazing Fishing Trip – A Perfect Adventure for Newlyweds!
Our fishing trip with Captain Danny and deckhand JT was nothing short of incredible! As newlyweds from South Dakota, we were looking for a fun and memorable experience, and this trip exceeded all expectations. Captain Danny and JT were not only extremely knowledgeable but also friendly and hilarious, making the trip even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, and thanks to their expertise, we landed a super rare billfish—definitely a once-in-a-lifetime catch! As if that wasn’t enough, we were also lucky enough to see whales along the way, which completely saved us from booking a separate whale-watching tour. It was an all-in-one adventure that we’ll never forget! If you’re looking for the best fishing experience out there, this is it. We highly recommend booking with Captain Danny and JT—you won’t be disappointed!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Captain Danny was amazing. He was courteous and welcoming from the moment we stepped on the boat to the time we were walking up the dock with our catch. He gave us a solid safety briefing and then explained where we were headed and what we would be fishing for and made it very clear what to expect once we hooked into a fish. Out on the water, Capt. Danny put us on the fish right away—we had our first marlin aboard within the first hour. We continued to hook several other fish throughout the day and the whole time Capt. Danny kept the experience fun and stress free. Back at the dock, Capt. Danny was a master at filleting our catch and made sure we went home with a packed cooler. This trip was nothing short of a perfect day of fishing out on the open ocean!

Great Experience!
My family and I had a great experience with Captain Adam and JT. They took great care of us and we caught four fish on a half-day charter. My son really wanted to catch a mahi mahi and we did! We originally booked the smaller boat but the larger boat became available so they offered us an upgrade. I'm glad we decided to opt for the larger boat because it was a windy day and we were able to go out further. Definitely recommend!

Nice day on the water
While we unfortunately didn't catch anything, the crew was friendly, informative, and professional. We enjoyed our time out on the water, took in some great views, and basked in the peaceful rocking of the ocean and hum of the engines.
