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 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.

Had a great time
Half Day Trip (PM) on May 14, 20253 adults1 child
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!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 23, 20252 adults
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!

Great Experience!
Half Day Trip (AM) 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!

Great trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 2, 20252 adults
It was our first time trolling Capt. Aaron and Deck Hand J.T. We didn't have any luck trolling, but the crew let us stop and bottom fish, and we caught 1 Uku. The guys were easy to get along with and even gave us recommendations on how to cook the fish. We will be using Bob Marlin from now on every time we come back.

Bob Marlin and Adam Lynam and "GE"
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 17, 20254 adults
We had a wonderful trip with our family. 3 Seniors and our Adult son. We caught a Mahi Mahi, and had great conversations with Adam, a former world class Skier. We would definitely book with Bob Marlin again. The crew made a difference, very attentive and kind. Sincerely, the Johal family, Bellevue, Washington and Provo/Orem Utah.
