Jim Flint5.0VerifiedGo With Makai!!!
4 Hour Trip – Lahaina Light Tackle on June 2, 2026 • 4 adultsWe were all fishing newbies and captain Travis and Allison were endlessly patient and encouraging! They made it so much fun! All four of us caught fish; MoBetta, Snapper, Goat fish, which they cleaned and filleted for us. We cooked them at the house and they were deliciious! We also caught a Coronet, and some other fish that we released because they were too small. A big shout out to Allison and Travis, an amazing part of the team at Makai Adventures. Book with them, you won’t be disappointed!

4 Hour Trip – Lahaina Light Tackle on June 20, 2026 • 3 adultsFirst time fisher here! And it was SUCH a memorable experience. Captain Steve and Captain Allison were both so helpful and knowledgeable. They made sure everything was set up and that everything ran as smooth as possible. They made the entire trip that much more enjoyable! The boat even had a bathroom and cover, so I wasn’t totally burnt like a lobster, which my sensitive skin thoroughly is grateful for. Would definitely recommend touring with them!

4 Hour Trip – Lahaina Light Tackle on May 30, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain put us on fish and caught several different species of fish. He was knowledgeable about each species and gave us an insight on how each would fare on the table. Also told us which restaurants would cook our catch for us. Easy location to get to from the resorts of the west side of Maui.

4 Hour Trip – Lahaina Light Tackle on July 30, 2026 • 3 adultsIt was a bit pricy for how far we went and how many fish we caught, but you cant really blame the charter for the fishing being slow. Otherwise the staff were amazing and equipment was good aswell.
