Outstanding crew & great fishing. Imua fishing charters best in Hawaii
6 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM on May 27, 2026 • 6 adults
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Our trip with Imua Fishing Charters was absolutely amazing in every way possible. The crew was incredibly professional, friendly, and made the entire experience unforgettable from start to finish. The boat was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, and you could tell they truly care about giving everyone a first-class experience. The fishing was outstanding, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time and stayed comfortable the entire trip. What impressed us even more was how attentive and caring they were with the kids who got seasick. Even in the middle of all the action, the crew made sure the kids were well taken care of, comfortable, and checked on constantly. That level of care and professionalism really stood out and meant a lot to our family. Their knowledge, positive attitude, and attention to detail made the day even better than we expected. Every part of the experience — from the boat, to the crew, to the fishing itself — was absolutely top notch. If you’re looking for an incredible fishing charter in Hawaii, I highly recommend Imua Fishing Charters. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Do This!!! These guys are the best!
4 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM on May 8, 2026 • 2 adults
My wife and I went out for 4hrs mid-day and she'd never fished before. Next thing you know, she catches a really big Wahoo for dinner for several days. Then I lost a big Marlin when it cut the line. They made this happen for us when nobody else was catching fish. Captain Ikena and Sheldon were born and raised here and absolutely know what they're doing. They are also just really good people, entertaining and the guys who make it rain when others can't buy a strike. We will be back next time. Even if we didn't catch anything, we would still highly recommend them. They are the best shot you've got to catch fish in Kauai.

Crushed the Tuna!!
6 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM on August 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
Captain Ikena amd Sheldon were the best. We gave them permission to head out farther and it paid off. We had a great day, ended up catching 11 skipjacks, all around 20lbs. Lost 4, only because all 6 lines hit at once, on two seperste occasions. would definitely recommend.

Best Trip!!!
6 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM on March 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
We have enjoyed fishing on our vacations in the past. This was the best trip that we have been on. Dillon worked hard to keep lines in the water and was so so good with our boys!! Randy was great, he kept the boat moving into the fish. The waters were rough and he kept the boat ride as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend fishing with Imua and we will be back and ask for Randy and Dillon again.

Another Great trip!
6 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM on July 23, 2026 • 2 adults
Second trip with Imua Fishing Charters did not disappoint! Captain Sheldon and Dylan were fantastic. The fish were reluctant to bite, but everyone's persistence paid off and we were able to snag an amazing blue marlin. He put up a big fight but with the crew's guidance and help, we won the fight. We highly recommend taking a trip with these guys and sticking it out to the end.
