My wife and I didnโt have any luck fishing but we still had a good time. We went out for a full day.ย As they say โthatโs fishing.โย Rob and Steve are real pros and were really working hard and attempting various approaches to catch something -ย Ono, Marlins, etc. but it wasnโt meant to be. At the end Rob felt so bad that he offered us some fresh Ono that was caught the day before.ย Needless to say we Rob went beyond the call of duty and we had a delicious dinner.ย What else can you ask for.ย Overall, nice day.ย Valerie, the boat owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.ย Overall I highly recommend this boat.

Captain Steve was great.ย We caught a marlin!ย The only thing I would say is the way they handled the catch (it was advertised that you could keep it). Was shady.ย After my friend who lives in Hawaii told me to sell it at the harbor he told me that you couldnโt do that without a permit. When we got back to the dock he said I couldnโt have a steak because he already sold it. Iโm quite sure he didnโt have a permitโฆI really didnโt care but I thought the way they treated us and handled that was suspect.ย They sold our 110 lb marlin for 5-6 dollars a pound and acted like it was theirsโฆ.

Aloha Jeff,
Thank you for the review.ย We are going to message you directly to apologize for this mess and attempt to meet you with some fish if you are still on island. We sincerely apologize for this.ย It sounds like up until the fish sale debacle you enjoyed the charter.ย We would love to take you fishing again and make sure the proper expectations are not only set but definitely met.

Had a great time fishing with crew of the Ohana. My son in law cought his first Marlin on the trip. Crew was very knowledgeable and friendly and worked hard at putting us on the fish. My good friend just couldnโt bring it home. ๐
Thank you for the great review.ย We really enjoyed our time with your group and watching Nate bring in the big one!
Had a great time with Dave and John and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a positive experience out of the West side of the Big Island.ย
Fishing isnโt always catching but I am super thankful that we were able to land one even if it initially spit the hook.ย Dave did a great job of teasing the fish to strike again and was able to ensure that my friend was able to land a good sized Ono.
Overall the boat was smooth, gear worked well, and it was a beautiful day to cruise on the Pacific.

Aloha Andrew,
Thank you for your review!ย The fishing was a bit of a grind that day but we were thrilled when that Ono stayed aggressive and finally hooked up! We would love to take you guys fishing again and the next time you are on the Big Island please reach out to us!

Capt and crew were great. Only reason the experience wasnโt five stars is because the fish werenโt biting. Nothing anyone can do about that especially when you go for big game fish.ย Some days are like that. Seas were good.ย Crew was great
Aloha Jack! Thank you for the kind review. Hopefully we will get a chance to get you back on the water to try again. The Ohana
