  Hanapa’a Success!

  3/4 Day Charter Fishing on March 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Captains Jerry & Shibu (1st Mate) gifted us memories and fish of a lifetime for my son’s 8th Birthday. Great communication through rescheduling due to potential safety concerns with foul weather conditions. Safety first, which i appreciate with my young child on board. We hooked so many fish & had a blast learning the Aloha spirit and history of Hawaii. If you’re thinking of fishing the Big Island I HIGHLY recommend this crew of experienced gentlemen. Highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Just book it!

  Great day

  3/4 Day Charter Fishing on April 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  We wanted to catch Mahi Mahi - and was a little late in the season, but Jerry and his mate (I don't know how to spell his name!) were awesome, got us into some, and we hooked and brought back three! I would have been happy with 1. Jerry did a great job cleaning the fish also. HIghly recommend to others.

  wonderful trip

  3/4 Day Charter Fishing on July 5, 2026 • 4 adults

   we had a great time. Captain crew and equipment were all great. Caught a big yellowfin tuna There was a bit of downtime since most of the fishing was trolling. But once the action hit you quickly forget. Would highly recommend.

  Great crew, super kid friendly

  1/2 Day Charter Fishing on March 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

  Even with looming weather, the captain waited till they could make a call so it would be safe abd enjoyable for the kiddos. My son got his first yellow tuna and sat with captain Jerry while were trolling peppering him with questions. Jerry didnt mind one bit and made the day a great memory for me and my kids. Highly recommend to anyone looking to charter a kid friendly trip.
