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?

Overall Great experience!
6 Hour Trip – Shared - 10:30 AM on July 9, 20262 adults2 children

we 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.

Amazing trip!
4 Hour Trip – Shared on July 14, 20264 adults

This 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!

Great service and crew
4 Hour Trip – Shared - 6:00 AM on June 9, 20261 adult

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.

Excellent Kaua’i fishing experience
6 Hour Trip – Private on July 20, 20266 adults

Captain 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.

Incredible!
6 Hour Trip – Shared - 10:30 AM on March 16, 20261 adult

I almost didn’t book this trip. As a solo, 59 yo woman who has fished but never like this, I was nervous about what I was getting myself into. I’m so glad I booked! We caught a few fish and had the best time ever! Capt & crew worked really hard to get us fish. They were kind, informative and happy to answer questions. I wished I was staying longer so I could book again. I wouldn’t hesitate to fish with these guys, they’re fantastic! Thanks for a memory of a lifetime!
