Aloha! Kingston Cruz and Capt. Cruise 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' C-Hawk 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 not covered by the charter boat, so you will need to purchase a one day pass from the state! 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.

If you have any questions about fishing with Bob Marlin Charters, just send Capt. Danny a message down below.

Unforgetable!!!
Half Day Trip on April 2, 20262 adults1 child
We had an incredible morning fishing with Captain Cruise (5 hour). The fishing was phenomenal—we brought in four mahi-mahi, an ono, and a tuna! Captain Cruise is a total pro; he’s extremely knowledgeable about different techniques, the land and water. He was a friendly, accommodating guide throughout the trip. The absolute highlight, however, was when seven humpback whales surfaced right next and under our boat. It was a massive adrenaline rush and something we’ll never forget. After the trip, Captain Cruise filleted the mahi for us, and we made fresh poke and fish tacos back at our condo. The mahi tacos freshness and kiss of the grill were the best our group has ever had. If you're looking for a top-tier guide who knows the waters and fishing, book with Bob Marlin Charters and fingers crossed you get paired up with Captain Cruise!!!

Amazing Day !
Half Day Trip on January 23, 20262 adults
We had an amazing day. Kevin and Cruz were truly pleasant, passionate, and professional. I had an unforgettable experience, and thanks to their experience we managed to bring a wahoo onboard—even while it was being attacked by a shark at the same time. Without their expertise, it would have been impossible. I highly recommend Bob Marlin Charters. My only regret is not having booked more than 5 hours—or more than one day—out on the water, and not having had the chance to leave them a bigger tip because they absolutely deserved it.

Great trip!
Half Day Trip on May 18, 20262 adults
Cruise and G were great guys! Very friendly, sociable, and made us comfortable the whole way! We caught a great skipjack and they cut it and bagged it for us after taking pictures. They worked hard to get us to the fish, and gave us directions/tips while still letting us reel in our catch ourselves and cheered us on the whole way! High-fives all around!

Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on March 6, 20264 adults
We didn’t catch anyting but hooked into four big Mahi & Tuna bit were unable to land them on the boat. I felt Cruise did everything he could to try and help us get a fish on the boat. The reality is that sometimes you just fish and don’t catch. However, we did see over twenty Humpback Whales playing and breaching the surface so that was pretty awesome! 🐋

Great Experience!
Half Day Trip on June 23, 20253 adults
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!
