Whipsaw Sport Fishing Inc.

Whipsaw Sport Fishing offers exciting adventures out of Honolulu, Hawaii. Those exotic waters offer the best fishing opportunities in the world and the crew is familiar with the hottest spots and the best methods.

Enjoy your trip aboard a 35’ Cabo boat, which comes powered by twin 435 HP Cat engines. Originally built in 1997, the vessel was upgraded in 2012 and is fully prepared for the current bite. It has a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots and top-notch navigational electronics, including a GPS, VHF radio, fishfinder, and radar.

The boat has a flybridge to aid your search for the fish, an ice-box to keep the catch fresh during the day, a fighting chair, and a live bait tank. Inside, the boat is air-conditioned and features a toilet, a shower, a kitchen with a refrigerator, and a bed for you to relax in between the bites.

On your day out, you will be taken fishing nearshore or offshore. You will be trolling for Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Wahoo, and Bigeye, Skipjack, and Yellowfin Tuna.

A trip with the crew comes inclusive of all the necessary equipment to put your catch together. You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. If you book a private trip, you will be able to keep 50% of your catch under 100 lbs, and it could be cleaned and filleted for you to take home after the trip and have for dinner later. For shared trips, it’s 2 lbs per person. As well as that, you can feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks.

Please note that gratuity for the crew is not included in the price of your charter and 20% is customary if you enjoy your trip.

Join Whipsaw Sport Fishing and get ready to have a Hawaiian fishing adventure you won’t forget!
