Great time
5/5
We had a great time. Got lots of fish. Got up close to lots of seals. The boat is great as you can sit up top and catch the views or sit below and have a drink and snack protected from the elements. My son cooked up this fish and had it for dinner that night.

Dreams came true
5/5
One of our kids said this was a dream come true. It was so much fun. We let them know we hired a fishing charter in Hawaii and only got one bite for the whole 8 hours. We decided on the 5 hour and we had so much fun! Matt and captain Tate were awesome. Great to chat with, and super helpful! They got us to all the fish!

Captain Tate and first mate Drake were amazing. We had a great time, were treated with first class service and we left with more fish fillets than I expected.
Thanks for such a wonderful charter!
