Excellent fishing trip. Caught two shortbill soearfish
5/5
The crew Sawyer and Captain Dee were excellent. They provide an excellent fishing trip and work very hard to catch fish. In the first hour we caught two shortbill spearfish. We release one and kept the other to eat. I highly recommend this charter boat high noon for a fishing trip from the big island of Hawaii.

Great team, great equipment, great fish!
5/5
Highly recommend Reel Escapes. The whole team is terrific, the equipment is top-notch, and the experience is one to remember. On my six-hour trip, we caught a wahoo and a shortbill spearfish, and we also saw some pilot whales. Book them now!

Great fishing!
5/5
Jim and James worked really hard to get us a fish! We had a few on the line that we lost, finally reeling in a great Shortbill spearfish! The guys were fun, and spent time teaching us about fishing the Kona coast. And we had a great fish filet for dinner that night. This is an older boat, not fancy, but gets the job done. The crew is fun and knowledgeable and will work hard to get you a catch! We would go again if we get the chance.

Experienced, friendly, safety-conscious crew and we caught a shortbill spearfish/marlin
5/5
Sean and Jason were a terrific crew. Six of us, including a four-year-old and a six-year-old. I'm not saying bringing kids that small was a great idea (for us) but Sean and Jason were wonderfully supportive and friendly. After nearly three hours of trolling, we landed a 40-poundish shortbill spearfish and watched as Sean and Jason went into action to help us bring it on board. After the trip, they fileted it for us and packaged it. Five stars all around. Highly recommended.
