  A challenge but well worth it. Quality over Quantity

  3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark (AM) on July 17, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We booked a three hour shark trip the same week were in HHI. Got lucky a trip was still available after another charter canclled on us due to mechanical problems. I was a little weary because I knew there is no guarantee to catch some sharks and we had our kids with us. We dealt with incredible high temps and real feels. captain Hank, who had three trips the day before, never stopped moving for three hours whether it was preparing bait, re-rigging the rods, casting the rods, or dropping anchor. We had a dolphin running interfence and screwing things up so he got us out of there to a new spot and then caught some some sharks. Both of kids reeled in sharks amd I lost a big that got off the hook. I would definelty book this trip again if wver back in HHI.

  Incredible Shark Fishing Experience for the Whole Family!

  2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (AM) on May 25, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 children

  We had an amazing experience on this shark fishing trip with Jennifer and Ricky on the boat Ricochet, along with 5 kids ranging in age from 7–15 and 3 adults. From the moment we arrived, the crew was professional, engaging, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make sure every single person on the boat had a great time, especially the kids. What really stood out was how much effort they put into making the trip successful. They carefully tracked the tides and conditions to bring us to the best fishing spots, and you could tell they truly knew what they were doing. The crew explained everything in a way the kids could understand, kept everyone involved, and made the entire experience exciting from start to finish. Not only did we catch sharks, but we also made unforgettable memories as a family. The crew’s energy, professionalism, and passion for what they do made this trip one we’ll be talking about for a long time. We highly recommend this trip to families, beginners, and experienced anglers alike. We can’t wait to book another trip!

  great family trip

  2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (AM) on July 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! The captain was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made sure our family had a great experience from start to finish. We brought our three kids, and they had an absolute blast. The highlight of the trip was catching four sharks, which made for an unforgettable adventure! The captain was patient with the kids and helped make the experience exciting and fun for everyone. Everything was top-notch, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. We highly recommend this charter and would definitely book again!

  “This was the best fishing trip ever”

  3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Fishing on July 4, 2026 • 9 adults • 3 children

  Captain Jack was amazing and really made our trip successful. We wanted to fish for sharks and we caught 11 sharks and a sting ray! He found the perfect spot and we had enough time that everyone in our party was able to reel something in. He was quick with setup, replacing lines when fish bit through them, patient with the kids and helping get the sharks on the boat so we could get a picture with each one. It was the perfect day and we would book again with him in a heartbeat!
