Our founder, Ray Collier, started working on family boats in the Gulf of Mexico (Pensacola) at a very young age. He did sportfishing, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, shrimping and various other activities.
At age 18, Ray was already a boat owner and operator. It was also at that same age when he decided to join the United States Marine Corps, where he served for 11 faithful years.
Ray has spent more than 25 years on boats and has worked in Hawaii for more than 10 years, often with big-name companies in the industry. He became a licensed boat captain in 2008. After spending so many years working for others, Ray decided to start his own small business.
Today, Ruckus Sportfishing and Diving continues to thrive. For our company's success, Ray credits the knowledge he gleaned from his years working for others. He continues to stay true to his commitment to providing a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for his guests who wish to learn more about Honolulu boating charters.

Missouri, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedAmazing trip and crew.
8 Hour Trip • 3 adultsFrom the get-go the crew was professional. The we caught one fish about an hour in, second one I lost right at the boat. After about 3 more hours of not even a bite we had 5 poles hit all within 15 seconds. Was crazy. We landed all 5 of them, turned around to go back through that spot. Caught 5 more. Mahi Mahi on the grill tonight. The crew was helpful, didn't mind us jumping in to help with getting the fish in, they were as excited as us catching so many in just a short time. The captain drove the boat with skill to keep the rocking down as much as possible. The deck hand was very experienced and just fun to fish with. Best fishing experience of my life.

4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 childrenThis was one of my top three deep sea trips. This round i took my son for his first trip and all i wanted was for him have a great time and a chance for big game. Capt. Ulu and team did jot disappont, they were able to get my son and nephew each on their own Marlin catches. Great service, excellent navigating rough wsrers, and put us on Marlin, tuna and other game. great memories for my son.

8 Hour Trip • 2 adultsAbsolutely amazing charter! The captain and first mate were awesome — super friendly, made us feel comfortable right away, and had us on the fish fast. In just 3 hours we landed four nice‑size mahi mahi. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

8 Hour Trip • 4 adultsCaptain communicated which was great. We were supposed to fish on Friday but a storm was coming. Captain called and said we need to go tomorrow instead of Friday. Without any hesitation we agreed. Put on us fish, the mate was amazing and so cool. We had a blast. Would definitely recommend.
