    Great Trip on a Beautiful Day in Honolulu

    Half Day Trip – Shared • 1 adult

    We went out for four hours - clear warm weather and calm seas. There were five passengers and five trolling lines out, rigged with lures. One guy caught a 17 pound mahi-mahi, but nothing else was biting. Captain Dante and mate Rob were both outstanding - very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. We had several interesting discussions about fishing in various places and I pickup up some good information. We went straight out about 15 miles and then returned, trolling the entire time. I highly recommend this trip.

    Amazing trip and Amazing crew!

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Booked the trip just wanting to go out and enjoy a boat ride and hopefully land some fish. It was a slow but the Captain Dante and Mate Sam found the birds and if you find birds then you find the fish. After a couple of passes in and out the mate changed up some lures and then the magic happend. One nice ono (Wahoo) for the first fish and then the second hit like a ton of bricks. Some massive jumps and a 15 minute fight we landed a 7’4”, 184 pound pacific blue marlin. It was a pitcure perfect fight.

    Reported catch:
    Blue Marlin
    Wahoo

    great captain on a comfortable boat

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 1 adult

    1st class operation with a fun and experienced crew. Boat is a classic wide body, very stable, and has sofas to relax on or nap during the day. Captain is very knowledgeable about local conditions and hotspots. We caught Wahoo and a great short-billed spearfish. Raised marlin and Mahi. Captain willing to cater to the fishing you desire. We stayed in the Ono lanes for a couple of hours, then ran out for pelagics for the rest of the trip. Fishing was slow but steady, and our hand kept the spread well tended and running true. I would absolutely fish this skipper again. Great boat for kids and families or experienced big game fishermen. Thanks Skipper!

    Reported catch:
    Shortbill Spearfish
    Wahoo

    It was an awesome trip

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 1 adult

    It was a great trip. There was lots to look at. Unfortunately, we did not catch one fish and did not get one bite. However, I can honestly say that the crew tried as hard as they could. This is just how it ended up

    Yellow fin tuna for the win!!!

    Half Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    The Captain, deck hand Dennis were great. Captain is funny as hell. What else can I say. My 14 yr old son caught a yellow fin tuna and glowed the rest of the day. This is why I came along. I wanted to experience my son catching his dream. And with a great group of people too.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna

We had an amazing day! The fish were biting all day long! We were only a marlin away from the clean sweep. We trolled, baited and live baited catching while having a perfect day on the water! Thanks for the last minute charter!
