    Outstanding Experienc!

    Captain Alex and First Mate Dustin absolutely killed it on our charter fishing tour! We caught an insane 11 Mahi Mahi and 3 Skip Jack Tuna - what a haul! The crew was top-notch, knowledgeable, and made sure we were having a blast. They handled everything so we could focus on the thrill of the catch. Highly recommend this tour for any angler looking for an unforgettable experience!"

    Flyer Sportfishing was Great!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    I booked a trip for me, my daughter, and her father-in-law in early October with Flyer Sportfishing out of Haleiwa on O’ahu, HI. Captain Alex and Miguel were very friendly and informative. We originally booked a half-day trip but ended up going for a full day and it was great! We finished with 4 Skipjack tuna and 7 mahi-mahi in the boat. Highly recommend. Very good experience!
