Loved every minute of it. Captain Jim and Brandon were all in for all 4 of us (2 adults + 20yo and 14yo). Caught 5 skipjack early on, used 2 for bait, and ended with a nice blue marlin. Everybody got to catch something bigger than the norm for us. Both were helpful in teaching how to deep sea fish as we were inexperienced, frustration with us showed through at times as well as the excitement. Both are batshit crazy ;) which worked for us, as that’s all our personalities. Had a hard time understanding everything going on and what we needed to do (which is probably due to our inexperience), but in the end, we all figured it out, and had an experience of a lifetime! Thanks for the great memories Captain Jim and Brandon. This is something we will never forget.  Made us decide that we will definitely go back out on the water for a future adventure!

We left out at sunrise with Captain Jim and Jimmy! From the moment we started they were so informative of all the tackle and how to use it and great for getting us ready for our first off shore trip.

Truly can’t say enough about either of them or the experience and the work they put in to get us the fish.  Can’t get guarantee fish caught and we weren’t lucky on Marlin but landed several Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna. After we got them in we were so wore out we were ready to come in. I have a whole new respect for those guys and what it takes to haul in a 60# tuna on light tackle gear. Insane to say the least but an experience I’ll treasure for years to come. We landed one 40+# Mahi which was real nice. And we enjoyed our Farm to Table experience Hawaiian style this afternoon.

If you want to get an amazing experience with an upstanding top notch crew then these are your boys!! Years of experience and knowledge of the sea.

Mahalo!!

Captain Jim couldn’t make it but he put us in the very capable hands of Captain Shawn and Darion.  The people getting off the early charter showed us their pictures of a 550 to 600 pound Marlin they caught on their trip as we were exchanging places.  We weren’t as lucky but catching this short nose allowed us to bring fish home and make ceviche, sashimi,  grill steaks and make some great fish tacos.  We had a great time and after living here for 10 years and finally going out we are ready to again as soon as possible.  Thanks for a great trip guys.

Excellent captain an deckhand. While catching bait a Blue Marlin hit that rod and the fight was on! After the first leap we knew what we had on the line. 25 lb test line and light rod we were in for a long fight. 5 hours later and getting the fish to the boat which would have been leader range a shark brushed up against line and broke it. Captain and deckhand estimated it to be 400 to 500 pound range. Great testimony of quality of gear and determination of crew to catch that fish. Fish and trip of a lifetime.We will never forget.

Good trip we caught several nice sized skip jacks. They put up a great fight and captain Jim knew just where to go to put us on the fish. We were also hoping to catch a yellow fin tuna or a marlin but it’s about being in the right place at the right time. The captain also let us climb up to the top deck and enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean and the island coastline.
