    Made the best of some tough conditions!

    2 Hour Trip6 adults1 child

    Weather was real challenging, winds were strong and the current was harsh. Captain took us to a number of spots which unforuntently were not successful. We were a group of 5 people. 4 adults and 1 child (5 YO). Everything besides the actual results was top rate and even the lack of fish was still fun. We had a blast and would reccomend to anyone. Crew were helplful, engaging and experienced. They were incredible with my 5 YO who was so excited to fish and get out there. We even tried to see if we could get some fish to surface in the harbor by splashing water to mimick the cleaning out of the fish (snack time for the harbor fish) but nothing. The lack of fish doesn't matter. The staff went above and beyond and we truly had the best time. Thank you to them and we will be back.

    Great quick trip to fish with family

    2 Hour Trip - 9:30 AM4 adults

    My sons and I were hoping to do a half day charter on the north sore but it rained so much our trips kept getting cancelled. We checked charters in Honolulu and found this one. The entire team was so helpful. Literally booked us with a few ours notice and Dante the captain was awesome and made sure we all caught a fish. He was very knowledgeable about the area, we even saw whales, a sting ray and turtles. Dante made us all feel welcome and kept adding on shrimp to bait our hooks for us and making our whole experience fun. A few of us got sea sick and he was super nice about that too. I would absolutely recommend this for folks who want the experience for a charter without spending the entire day. Our 2 hour trip was just perfect and a highlight of our trip.

    Great fishing trip with children!

    2 Hour Trip - 2:30 PM4 adults2 children

    We had an incredible time out on the water with Captain Dante! He is clearly an expert and knows all the best fishing spots—we were able to catch a handful of fish and the kids had an absolute blast. He was patient, engaging, and made the whole experience seamless for the little ones. If you’re in Hawaii and looking for a family-friendly charter, I highly recommend him for anyone with young kids!

    Great trip!

    Perfect fishing charter for shorter 2 hour trip. The crew was helpful, if you are not sure how to catch be sure to ask and you will get a good lesson. You will definitley catch fish once you figure out the technique.

    I had a wounderful time (楽しかった!)

    2 Hour Trip - 9:30 AM1 adult

    Captain Donovan is an experienced fisherman and helped me to enjoy this 2 hour fishing charter experience. With his support, I was able to catch several fish including Nobeta and Yellow Spot Papio. They were both very tasty! ドノバン船長は経験の長い人で、この二時間を大変楽しく過ごさせてくれました。彼に教わりながら、ナベタ(イラ)とパピオ(シマアジ)など数匹の魚を釣ることができました。イラもシマアジも美味しくいただきました。
