Best fishing guides we've ever had!

Half Day Offshore Trolling PM4 adults2 children

This was the most amazing trip from start to finish. Great communication, kindness, and flexibility with crew. Captain Tarek and Eby were so much fun and taught us all about the many kinds of fish we caught and Hawaii marine life--not to mention they were endlessly fun and patient with my boys. We caught a 70 pound yellow finn tuna and saw humpback whales, dozens of varieties of bottom feeders (when my kids got bored at the end we switched gears to the bottom, and the kids pulled up different fish, often four or more at a time, every time they put down their lines). The boat is very comfortable and it was such a relaxing afternoon. We spent the afternoon cruising through schools of tuna that we could see jumping out of the water and swimming past my feet as they dangled off the boat. It was a trip of a lifetime--don't hesitate to book!

    Good crew, good catch!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling AM • 4 adults

    Overall great experience. Capt. Tarek and EB were super friendly and stayed focused all day on catching us some fish! We were in search of ahi and despite lota of effort from the crew, we only had 2 hits and only landed 1. just one of those days! Capt Tarek was relentless in hunting down the bird piles and switching up lures to help give us the beat chance - from what we understand it was a slow bite day all around. Very hospitable crew, very generous. Would definitely fish with them again. Great attitude, solid boat and tackle, and they went the extra mile to try and land us fish. A good day on the water!

    Best Experience and Memory

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing PM • 5 adults

    Our fishing trip with Ultimate Boating Adventure was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The crew provided exceptional customer service and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped aboard. Captain Tarek and his deckmate were genuinely kind, courteous, and always willing to help, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The highlight of the trip was hooking and landing an amazing 32-pound Ono—a catch I'll never forget! We also caught plenty of other reef fish, which made for an exciting day on the water. If you're looking for a professional, friendly crew that works hard to make sure everyone has a memorable experience, I highly recommend Ultimate Boating Adventure. We'll definitely be back for another trip!

    Started with Smiles, Ended with Ahi!

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome experience with Ultimate Fishing Adventures on July 2nd! Tarek and his crew were fantastic, especially with our two young boys. They started the trip by bottom fishing to make sure the kids had the chance to catch some fish, and it was the perfect way to get them hooked—they caught plenty of fish and couldn’t stop smiling. Once everyone had some action, we headed offshore to chase bigger game fish. After a lot of excitement and hard work, we landed a beautiful ahi that was the highlight of the trip! The crew was knowledgeable, patient, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter that knows how to put you on fish, we highly recommend Ultimate Fishing Adventures. Mahalo, Tarek and crew!

    Awesome Fishing Trip

    Half Day Offshore Trolling PM • 5 adults

    We had such an awesome Fishing adventure. Captain Terek and his son EB were outstanding. My youngest son caught an 18.4 lb, 45+ inch ono and couldn't have been happier to reel it in himself. It was such a great experience for my family to be out on the boat and take in the beautiful mountains of Oahu, we even saw humpback whales and a shark! Terek and his son were so accommodating and engaging with the the kids, they had such a blast. If you want a true fishing experience and an opportunity to catch a monster fish, I highly recommend Terek. He truly was doing everything he could to get fish on the line. 10/10 experience overall!

    Amazing fishing trip

    4H Nearshore Bottom Fishing AM • 4 adults

    Spent the whole morning for our first fishing tour at Oahu, 100% worth it! 2 of our friends are beginners with very limited fishing experience, but Tarek and Eb made sure we all had a great time and caught some nice snappers for lunch. Tarek also offered a short offshore experience to chase a school of tuna. Although we weren’t not lucky enough to land a real tuna but it’s still exceptional to get both nearshore and offshore fishing experiences during one trip! Will definitely book with Tarek again when we come back!
