Matthew AbbottRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMade the best of some tough conditions!
2 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 1 childWeather was real challenging, winds were strong and the current was harsh. Captain took us to a number of spots which unforuntently were not successful. We were a group of 5 people. 4 adults and 1 child (5 YO). Everything besides the actual results was top rate and even the lack of fish was still fun. We had a blast and would reccomend to anyone. Crew were helplful, engaging and experienced. They were incredible with my 5 YO who was so excited to fish and get out there. We even tried to see if we could get some fish to surface in the harbor by splashing water to mimick the cleaning out of the fish (snack time for the harbor fish) but nothing. The lack of fish doesn't matter. The staff went above and beyond and we truly had the best time. Thank you to them and we will be back.
Response from CaptainThank you for the review Matthew! A hui hou…
Dora Gao5.0VerifiedNEWAmazing Fish Trip！
2 Hour Trip - 11:00 AM • 2 adultsWe had an amazing time on this fishing trip! At one point, we even caught five fish on a single line, which was such an exciting and unforgettable experience. The captain and crew were fantastic—friendly, talkative, and very professional. They made the whole trip fun and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Response from CaptainWe are so happy to hear you had a great fishing trip! Thank you for your review
Angela Lundberg5.0VerifiedGreat quick trip to fish with family
2 Hour Trip - 9:30 AM • 4 adultsMy sons and I were hoping to do a half day charter on the north sore but it rained so much our trips kept getting cancelled. We checked charters in Honolulu and found this one. The entire team was so helpful. Literally booked us with a few ours notice and Dante the captain was awesome and made sure we all caught a fish. He was very knowledgeable about the area, we even saw whales, a sting ray and turtles. Dante made us all feel welcome and kept adding on shrimp to bait our hooks for us and making our whole experience fun. A few of us got sea sick and he was super nice about that too. I would absolutely recommend this for folks who want the experience for a charter without spending the entire day. Our 2 hour trip was just perfect and a highlight of our trip.

2 Hour Trip - 9:30 AM • 1 adultCaptain Donovan is an experienced fisherman and helped me to enjoy this 2 hour fishing charter experience. With his support, I was able to catch several fish including Nobeta and Yellow Spot Papio. They were both very tasty! ドノバン船長は経験の長い人で、この二時間を大変楽しく過ごさせてくれました。彼に教わりながら、ナベタ(イラ)とパピオ(シマアジ)など数匹の魚を釣ることができました。イラもシマアジも美味しくいただきました。
Response from CaptainMahalo for your review, looks like it turned into a delicious meal!
Ivan Chavez4.7VerifiedLaid-Back Reef Fishing Along Oahu’s Coastline
2 Hour Trip (7AM) • 2 adultsReef fishing in Honolulu was an awesome experience! The scenery alone makes it worth it—clear blue water, warm breeze, and views of Diamond Head while you fish. There was a good mix of action too: triggerfish and razor peacock fish are just a few surprises depending on the spot. Captain provided good gear and clear instructions, in particular he was very personable and funny, which added a lot to the overall experience and kept us engaged. It’s a super relaxed style of fishing and great for beginners or anyone looking to do something fun on the water without the all-day deep sea commitment. Overall, highly recommend if you’re visiting Oahu and want to get out on the ocean without going too far offshore.

What's biting with Oahu Pelagic Sportfishing in Honolulu
October marks the second Mahi Mahi peak season, so this is an excellent time to target this colorful and delicious fish. The Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna bite should still be good, too. Alternatively, head inshore and bring home something tasty from the reefs.
