Breakaway Fishing Charters
Breakaway Fishing Charters
Spend the day with Breakaway Fishing Charters and get hooked on fishing in Lihue! With Captain Jeff at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Pacific Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Blacktip Shark, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your vessel for the day is a 34' Radon sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. 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.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Breakaway Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Heather Lamb5.0VerifiedOverall Great experience!
6 Hour Trip – Shared - 10:30 AM on July 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenwe took our teenage boys out for the first time deep sea fishing!! it was so fun seeing both lines hit at the same time and watching them reel in huge Ahi yellowfin tunas! apparently its not as common to catch but we caught 4 Huge ones, over 100lbs and a Mahi Mahi!! some notes: TAKE THE SEA SICK MEDS!!!!!! The waters around Kauai are NEVER calm, its like being out in a storm from the mainland! After my boys reeled in their first and only fish, they both got sick despite taking dramamine. Get the one that starts with a B the locals swear by. the most disappointing part was when we got back, we only got to keep fish from 1 Tuna and the Mahi Mahi. While we were on our last day, it worked out ok, but the other couple was local and had planned a large BBQ for family. I feel with the cost of the trip itself, all of the meat should have been ours to split and maybe 1 of the fish was for the Captain/mate to split. not just keep all of them to turn around and go sell to make even more money off of.
Kenneth Chapin5.0VerifiedAmazing trip!
4 Hour Trip – Shared on July 14, 2026 • 4 adultsThis was our first time to Kauai and Captain Jeff was amazing! Put us on the fish and we caught 3 tuna!!! It was obvious that Captain Jeff and Joe knew this could be our only off shore experience in Kauai and they wanted to make it great for us and they did just that! We found out quickly after we returned, all the locals know Captain Jeff and wasn’t surprised to hear, not only did we catch fish, we had a great time doing it! Thank you guys for making our once in a lifetime trip so memorable!
Emma Kriske5.0VerifiedSo fun!
4 Hour Trip – Shared - 6:00 AM on June 11, 2026 • 2 adultsWe werent sure which charter to go on, we ended up choosing Breakaway Charters. Captain Jeff and his boat hand joe were super kind, determined, and made it a great experience. We all ended up catching 15 skipjacks. Jeff called this morning just to make sure we could find him. Book this charter! it was amazing, they even cleaned our fish and we get to bring it home to eat it. Bring your best sea sickness meds though, water can be choppy. 🐟
Aaron Anacleto5.0VerifiedExcellent Kaua’i fishing experience
6 Hour Trip – Private on July 20, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Jeff and his mate Joe were wonderful. Our 6 hour trip ran on time and we caught 6 fish. Jeff and Joe were on top of things and were amazing to work with. The water was rough for sure but catching amazing tuna made it worth it. Also, some of our friends on the trip got sick and Joe was right there with a bottle of water to help them out. Great trip. Great group of guys. Loved it.
Jon Rockwood5.0VerifiedNewThese guys now their STUFF!!!
4 Hour Trip – Shared on October 5, 2026 • 2 adultsOnly one fish but not for lack of trying and hard work from captain and mate. These guys definitely know what they are doing and I would recommend and look forward to going again when visiting the island.
Angela Schnellinger5.0VerifiedFive stars all around!
4 Hour Trip – Private - 12:00 PM on June 8, 2026 • 4 adultsBig shout out to Captain Jeff and first mate, Joe for taking us out on a 4 hour private charter. Not only did they find fish, they handled everything from making sure everyone felt okay, coaching, equipment, and getting the fish in the boat. They were well educated, fun, and good at what they do. Highly recommend this charter for anyone thinking of going out fishing.
Eric NilssonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day at sea
4 Hour Trip – Shared - 12:00 PM on May 29, 2026 • 2 adultsThe fish were not our friend for much of the day but we finally came upon a cluster of yellowfin and they were nice enough to extend our time to make a second pass. We brought in pleanty for dinner and lost a few just because we had to many lines running at the same time when they hit. Its ocean fishing so be prepared for waves but boat held well.
Grant HuffmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewAmazing time!
4 Hour Trip – Private - 6:00 AM on October 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThe boat was really nice and the rods were all professional quality. Captain and first mate were very knowledgeable and attentive. We were very pleased with the fish we caught.
Corey Jones5.0VerifiedEpic adventure
4 Hour Trip – Shared - 6:00 AM on June 2, 2026 • 4 adultsWhat a great time. Captain Jeff and his firstmate, Joe, were awesome! They gave 110% the entire time working to get us on as many fish as possible. Great lowkey vibes and appreciate all of their help for our first deep sea fishing experience. Will hopefully see them on another adventure.
John Roussey4.7VerifiedWe had a great time
4 Hour Trip – Shared - 6:00 AM on August 31, 2026 • 3 adultsThe seas were 6-10 feet so the first 2.5 hours was rough and no fish. When we found the fish, 4 lines were hit at once. Our captain Jeff went back through the baitfish 3 more times so that we caught more and more fish. We stayed out about an hour longer than the tour was supposed to last so that we would have a great experience. Thanks for a great time!

We had a great experience overall! The captain and his first mate were absolutely fantastic throughout the trip. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome and safe from the moment we boarded. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making sure their guests had a good time and enjoyed the experience. One thing that future guests should be aware of is that the water was incredibly choppy on the day we went. Unfortunately, I personally wasn’t able to enjoy the excursion as much as I had hoped because the rough conditions made it difficult for me to fully relax and take everything in. However, that was completely beyond the crew’s control and certainly not a reflection of the service provided. Despite the challenging conditions, the captain and first mate handled everything exceptionally well and maintained a positive attitude throughout the trip. Their professionalism and attention to passengers really stood out. If you’re considering this excursion, I would definitely recommend it, especially on a calmer day when you can fully appreciate the experience.
