    Full Day Trip • 6 adults

    I cant begin to explain how much my family and I enjoyed this trip! Not only were the captain and deck hand knowledgeable, they were also extremely patient with us. I can't reccomend these guys enough , they definitely put us on the fish! My daughter got to fulfill a bucket list moment by catching her first blue marlin! I wish I could have given them more than a 5 star rating. My family and I will definitely be returning for another trip! Thank you guys for one of the most memorable experiences on the water my family has ever had!

    Family and legacy

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    I landed my first marlin at the age of 12 while visiting Kona. Nearly 38 yrs later I brought my oldest son over ss a graduation present. He kept the tradition going and landed two on the second day of fishing. Big tuna on day one. Crew was highly experienced and had a great time fishing with them. I’ll 100% fish with this outfit again.

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    My wife and I spent the day with Marlin and Brandon chasing fish. Even though the bite was slow, we still caught two ono and ended up with dinner. These guys are great and the boat was very comfortable. We’ll be back.
