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!!

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!

We had an amazing day! Fishing was a little slow but they kept trying everything they had until we got one. An amazing Marlin! My son leaves for bootcamp in 2 months and catching a Marlin was on his bucket list! Thank you guys so much!!

My husband and three kids (14, 11, 7) had our first deep sea fishing trip with Apex and what an experience it was!  They made us feel comfortable (even though I was sick most of the trip) and led us to catch fish!  We hooked a marlin and saw it jump out of the water but lost it after about 30 minutes of trying to get it in.  Overall would highly recommend!
