Oahu Pelagic Sportfishing has been operating and guiding in Hawai’i for over two decades. We welcome you to share in the experiences found only here our beautiful blue pacific waters. We hope to share the spirit of these islands as well as a taste of the bounty hidden beneath her sun-soaked surface. Our Ohana “family” graciously invites you to join us for a personalized fishing experience along Oahu’s famous south shore. Enjoy the picturesque Waikiki skyline as we hunt for the fish, or fish-story, that will leave memories to last you a lifetime. Let’s go Holoholo!
