    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing AM • 4 adults

    Captain Tarek (T-Rex) and his deckhand Ebbie made sure my son and myself had the most amazing time on the water. My overall expectations were exceeded. Didn’t break any records but we landed a few fish and lost a few fish. Can’t ask for much more than that. We all had a lot I. Common as we own a fishing charter in Alaska and it was great telling stories and learning a new way of fishing. My son was allowed to set gear which for us is more fun than it might be for other anglers🤷‍♂️. If you want to take your family out for an amazing time with an exceptional crew, look no further. Looking forward to our next adventure with T-Rex. Thanks for making the memories for me and my son.

    Good crew, good catch!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling AM • 4 adults

    Overall great experience. Capt. Tarek and EB were super friendly and stayed focused all day on catching us some fish! We were in search of ahi and despite lota of effort from the crew, we only had 2 hits and only landed 1. just one of those days! Capt Tarek was relentless in hunting down the bird piles and switching up lures to help give us the beat chance - from what we understand it was a slow bite day all around. Very hospitable crew, very generous. Would definitely fish with them again. Great attitude, solid boat and tackle, and they went the extra mile to try and land us fish. A good day on the water!

    Response from Captain

    Best Experience and Memory

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing PM • 5 adults

    Our fishing trip with Ultimate Boating Adventure was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The crew provided exceptional customer service and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped aboard. Captain Tarek and his deckmate were genuinely kind, courteous, and always willing to help, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The highlight of the trip was hooking and landing an amazing 32-pound Ono—a catch I'll never forget! We also caught plenty of other reef fish, which made for an exciting day on the water. If you're looking for a professional, friendly crew that works hard to make sure everyone has a memorable experience, I highly recommend Ultimate Boating Adventure. We'll definitely be back for another trip!

    Response from Captain

    thanks for chartering with us and cant wait to fish with you again.

    Started with Smiles, Ended with Ahi!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome experience with Ultimate Fishing Adventures on July 2nd! Tarek and his crew were fantastic, especially with our two young boys. They started the trip by bottom fishing to make sure the kids had the chance to catch some fish, and it was the perfect way to get them hooked—they caught plenty of fish and couldn’t stop smiling. Once everyone had some action, we headed offshore to chase bigger game fish. After a lot of excitement and hard work, we landed a beautiful ahi that was the highlight of the trip! The crew was knowledgeable, patient, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter that knows how to put you on fish, we highly recommend Ultimate Fishing Adventures. Mahalo, Tarek and crew!

    Reported catch:
    Giant Trevally

    Amazing fishing trip

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing AM • 4 adults

    Spent the whole morning for our first fishing tour at Oahu, 100% worth it! 2 of our friends are beginners with very limited fishing experience, but Tarek and Eb made sure we all had a great time and caught some nice snappers for lunch. Tarek also offered a short offshore experience to chase a school of tuna. Although we weren’t not lucky enough to land a real tuna but it’s still exceptional to get both nearshore and offshore fishing experiences during one trip! Will definitely book with Tarek again when we come back!

    Reported catch:
    Pink Maomao
    Yellowtail Snapper
    Response from Captain

    it was so much fishing with you guys and looking forward for the next one
