Booked with Venture and our captain was Jesse. He was so chill and just a rad person. We chatted the whole time about fish, travel, food, hunting and tons of other things. The first half of trolling was a goose egg, but bottom fishing was awesome. We were catching fish on the first drop. He was as excited to see what fish we caught as we were, plus he provided info on each fish as he was unhooking them.
What a great experience from start to finish. Thanks Jesse for a great trip!

This was my family’s favorite O’ahu adventure so far. I have a 4 year old, 9 year old, and 12 year old who has special needs, and Lindsay and Garrett made all of the activities accessible and fun for everyone’s comfort level. They constantly checked in with us and made sure everyone was having a great time, and they adjusted the trip to what we wanted it to be! They both knew the reef super well, which made it easy for the kids to catch fish and enjoy snorkeling. Snorkeling on the reef was my absolute favorite. Sooooo beautiful swimming with the gorgeous fish of the reef. We also got lucky and saw sea turtles and spinner dolphins!! 10/10!!! Thank you, Garrett and Lindsay for the best trip.  😍

Captain Mark was great! My son wanted to catch a fish on our trip to Hawaii and although the Mana Team couldn’t guarantee a catch, they absolutely delivered! We caught a 30lbs Yellow Fin Tuna. We also went to a great spot to snorkel and see Sea Turtles. Would absolutely recommend and do it again. Thanks to the whole team Venture Boat team.

We had a 3hr sunrise fishing outing with Capt Mark. Mark was the perfect host/capt for our family of 5, with 3 20 somethings. I wouldn’t say that trolling for Marlin is an active outing because the trolling is inactive for those of us wanting to fish but if you happen to snag a marlin then it’s extremely active.  We had a combination of trolling and then bottom fishing. We saw many, many whales in the area. I highly recommend this outing. It was our family’s favorite outing of the week.

We charter boats on every family trip (I think this was our 5th or 6th).  This was by far the best we’ve ever experienced!  It was amazing start to finish.

JJ and Lindsey were great with me, my wife, and our 3 boys (12,9,7).  We started with a relaxing and fun snorkel session.  One of our boys was not into it so he stayed on the boat with JJ.  Instead of just sitting there, JJ fished with him and he got to catch a fish.  Snorkeling with Lindsey was fantastic as she spent time making sure we saw the beautiful underwater world.

Next we headed out to fish and JJ put us on Tuna before moving in so the boys could bottom fish.  All in all we caught Tuna, snapper, goatfish and a couple others.

Finally, JJ ensured put us in position to see a pod of dolphins and probably 10 whale sightings.

It was a perfect day!
