Five Star Sportfishing Hawaii 

second time that we went soth thia crew and couldn’t recommend it more! Gabe and his deck hands are extremely knowledgeable on what they’re doing. the take time to explain everything, hold a short briefing before leaving harbor and also ask you what you’re hoping to catch. They’re also very patient with people that haven’t fished before. we caught 5 Marlins in total, one blue marlin close to 200lbs. They took the time to explain the right technique so you for sure can land that fish! we absolutely had a blast and loved the crew and looking forward to the next one!

Boat and crew were ready to go when we got there. Nice clean boat with excellent equipment. Captain Ruben, First mate Gabe and Noah were awesome!! I took my wife and three of my daughters. All three of my daughters caught amazing fish (2 striped marlin and a huge Mahi Mahi). They knew the girls were novice fisherman and were extremely helpful in landing the fish while letting the girls really soak up the experience!! They were great with the younger kids coaching them through it. I have done a lot of charter fishing and would rank this trip near the top, and the crew played a huge role in that!

Had an awesome experience with Five Star Fishing. Captain Dallas and Gabe were both incredible the entire trip — super knowledgeable, friendly, and made everything fun and easy whether you’re experienced or new to fishing. The boat was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time and caught fish. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a great experience. Definitely recommend booking with them if you’re looking for a top-tier fishing charter. We caught 2 mahi mahi (1 was a huge bull) and a nice spear fish. Took some work finding them, but they never gave up and we were rewarded for it. Great trip overall.

My family and I were in O‘ahu for a family wedding. We researched and booked a month prior when we knew we'd have some time and my sons (13, 15) are passionate fishermen. We live / fish on the east coast (NJ, DE) inshore, reef, party boats, family boats and shore / freshwater - but the boys have had a few big offshore trips and really wanted to fish the deep waters off the island. This was an extremely hard-working crew and very knowledgeable. Consistently covering water in rough seas, following bird activity and other signs. We ultimately had a very steady day covering miles of water with probably 10 hookups (Mahi) and several Wahoo on the way back to the marina. They consistently changed patterns on the spread, monitored lines, gave great instruction to the boys. Both had the thrill of their fishing lives bringing some big Mahi on the boat and the Wahoo were added bonus. As an experienced angler myself and frequent charter customer, this is a very competent and knowledgeable crew. Can't recommend enough. If you have kids recommend the 6 hour option - this is a deep, deep water pelagic fishery. At times the fishing can be sporadic as there's simply so much to cover. 6 hours gives ample time for action without wearing out the kids. The boys are already planning their return back!

This was me and my wife first time visiting Hawaii and our first big game charter. We decided to go with a whole day trip 8hrs package. What a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. Captain Rubin, deckhand Gabe was able to find bait fish and lead us to catching our first Mahi Mahi n Wahoo (Ono). I also caught my pb Mahi Mahi. Great guys very knowledgeable. We had an awesome experience on five star sports fishing vessel. Highly recommend for anyone trying to land trophy fish of a lifetime or just out for the thrill n fight. They also recommend a taxidermist so I can mount my lifetime dream catch on my wall.
