Herbert and Tim were very polite to work with today.  The accommodations could not have been better.  We all took Dramamine as a preventative measure and when it kicked in we were very thankful for a comfortable lounge area that was inside and had plenty of room to stretch out for a cat nap.  As for the fishing, it is called fishing.  Some days you are the bug and some days you are the windshield.  I’m not saying we didn’t catch any fish but it would have been really nice to get into something bigger.  We ended up catching 3 Skipjacks and were able to bring more than enough home for a meal while we are still on the Island.  It defininitely wasn’t due to a lack of trying to catch the fish, it just goes that way some times.  I have fished a lot on small lakes at home in Nebraska and am not always able to catch the species I’m shooting for.  If you want a comfortable boat, crew that tries hard, great share in the catch, reasonable price, a boat where you aren’t just one of 20 or more lined up along the rail, give Apex Kauai Luxury Sport Fishing Charters a look up and book with them, you won’t be disappointed.

We booked a 6 hr private with Captain Tim and deckhand Herbert. With 6’ swell the boat handled better than any other and we have fished on several boats while on Kauai, this was undoubtably the best handling.  Within 30 minutes of leaving the harbor deckhand Herbert started setting lines. He had 6 lines out within about 10 minutes. After another 10 minutes a Marlin started smacking the lures. Herbert was never offset by the swell and used his mojo to entice the Marlin to strike, and strike he did. After 7 trips with other captains finally our first hook up with a Marlin within the first hour of our trip. My son enjoyed a 20 minute back and forth and finally we brought the Marlin to the boat!!  We spent the rest of the day cruising and chasing other fish until we had a triple header and brought 3 tuna in!!  What a morning, my sons and I will remember this trip forever. So if you plan to go, these guys and this boat is your best chance to have success. They were also very safe and professional. We had a great trip and would strongly encourage anyone to experience the water of Kauai.  And unlike other trips, most likely due to the size and shape of the boat, none of us experienced sea sickness!!

Great trip. My wife and I caught several tuna and had one marlin hooked up but were unable to land it. Crew does an amazing job of finding fish. Would defiantly use Apex again.

Captin Tim and deckhand Herbert were great.  It was me and my wife and 2 kids on the boat.  We set out at 11 and hooked into a Striped Marlin about an hour into the trip.  I reeled it to the boat and Herbert and Captin Tim got it in the boat.  What a great day on the water!!!

Awesome Capt. And deck hand. Hooked into a marlin in the first hour and spent the rest of the day trolling through bait balls for skipjack tuna, fun time on the water with.a great setup! If you’re looking for a charter on Kauai I highly recommend Apex!
