Lihue is renowned for its outstanding offshore fishing opportunities. Local charters regularly target hard-fighting deep-sea species such as Pacific Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), Mahi-Mahi, and Wahoo.

Many guests land trophy-sized catches, creating unforgettable memories against the backdrop of Kauai’s dramatic volcanic cliffs.

Inshore and nearshore fishing are also popular in Lihue.

Bring dramamine if you have any doubts about your ability to not get sick. The wild pacific ocean is exactly that- wild!

Yes…the 46’ boat is the heaviest on the island and perfectly for the swells.

Definitely use Dramamine or an equivalent to help with any seasick issues. The boat goes quite fast and the ocean is rough. Older children would probably be ok (age 12+)and have fun but younger ones would not.

Go with the flow! Fishing is fishing you won’t always have constant action. Be patient trust the captain and crew. If you MIGHT get sick or you don’t know if you will take meds, Hawaii is not your lake back home it gets sporty out there.

The waves are big, so lots of tossing and turning. If you get seasick at all, take Dramamine. This is not a trip for the frail

The ocean was rougher than expected. My brother and dad both felt sea sick and took some Dramamine. That helped.

Jordan R.

Summer is busier for a reason. We knew it would be a roll of the dice if the fish would be biting since we came during the off-season. While we didn’t catch any today, it doesn’t mean someone else won’t tomorrow. That’s part of the excitement and pride when you actually bring one home.

Be prepared for some rough seas, though, as a few of us experienced sea sickness. Despite that, we highly recommend this adventure!

There is a great bite but small fish. Where there’s small fish there’s big fish tho! Capt said fishing is very hit or miss right now, so you catch what you can and hope for the big one! Coming back for my 100 lb’er

Zachary R.

I would recommend sun glasses we forgot ours. And a cooler with ice to bring any meat back home. Unless you never get motion sickness the 4 hour trip is perfect. Other wise takes 8 hour trip.

If the idea is to catch fish, there are definitely fish out there. The family that was out there on Captain Harry's boat before us caught four nice size tunas, we caught one. For us on our trip, the weather was great, the waves were not too high, no one got sea sick, and it was a great way to spend four hours.

We had 2 fish hooked within 10 seconds of each other. Unfortunately the fish tangled the lines, 1 fish ended up breaking the line and we lost the lure. My 13 yr old son reeled the other fish while sitting in the fighting chair for about 25 minutes. Fantastic experience, captain and deck hand were very helpful.

We are in Kauai for the week and our son said going fishing was what he most wanted to do for his bday. We’ve chartered boats before (e.g. Cabo) but this was extra special. Five us total, three adults and two teenagers. Our first fish was a short shortbill spearfish (also known as Hebi), such a cool looking fish. Then we caught 4 skipjack tuna. We did 4hr option leaving at 6am, water was typical ocean but weather was perfect and we had a blast.

Overall, we had a good experience. We only caught two skip JACK and the waters in Hawaii or some of the roughest that I have ever been in personally.. if you are someone that is prone to motion sickness, this trip is probably not for you.. the deck hand works super hard and was super friendly..
