    Commit to marlin

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Jeff runs a serious billfish program, and that’s exactly why we booked him. The boat is immaculate and rigged right, the spread is set with intention, and nothing aboard is there without purpose. Jeff is salty in the best sense — he’s not there to entertain you, he’s there to give you a real shot at the most demanding fish in the ocean. He’s also got one of the best mates I’ve been blessed to be around. Chris has more fish knowledge in his pinky then I do in my whole body and it’s obvious — the rigging, the way he reads the water, and a constant smile. He never stopped working; Chris made a long day a good one. Just a genuinely good human. We had zero knock downs but that’s the deal with this kind of fishing, and it was our choice going in. Jeff and Chris did everything right; it just wasn’t anyone’s day, and no boat on the water got tight. If you’re looking to just bend a rod on something, book a different boat. If you know what you’re signing up for, Piper is a superb boat and very able crew.

    Great trip

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    This was my first sport fishing trip. With Captain Jeffs knowledge of the local waters he was able to get us hooked up on couple of spearfish. The captain and crew were friendly and helpful in instructing us about the boat and gear. The boat is beautiful with plenty space for everyone on-deck or in the cabin. We were given excellent instruction on what to expect and the proper technic to be used while fighting these magnificent fish. On my next trip to Maui I will be booking another trip with Piper Sportfishing. Thank You for a great trip.

    Solid attempt

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    Unfortunately, we didnt get a catch but man, did the Captian try. We could tell these guys were serious and wanted to get a catch more than anyone. Great boat, Jeff and Chris were solid and were actively adjusting the lines, looking out and doing everything possible to make it happen for us. Unfortunately, we didnt get it, but thats the way i goes sometimes. We are definitely going to book this Boat and crew again.

    Response from Captain

    We cannot wait to get another shot at a fish of a lifetime with you. Chris and i really appreciate your knowledge of how fishing works. Such a pleasure having you, Ken and the boys on board! lets run it back again soon. Enjoy the rest of your Maui holiday. Mahalo! Capt. Jeff and Chris

    Best fishing trip ever!

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    My husband and I went on The Piper a couple days ago and we are still coming down from the high of catching our dream fish! Captain Jeff definitely knows what he’s doing with all his decades of experience. His co-captain Chris was incredible! Talk about hard worker giving 150% to make our experience unbelievable! The boat is a dream boat too! We both caught a striped marlin each! We can’t wait to book this trip again.

    Response from Captain

    Aloha! Great to have you on board! They were Blue marlin not Striped marlin. We look forward to the next time you hop on board the Piper. Mahalo! Capt. Jeff and Chris

    Great day on the water

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    Spend the day with Captain Jeff and Chris and had a great day on his 47ft Cabo. This is an excellent boat and a great crew. We caught a few Mahi, which made for an amazing dinner. Thanks Captain Jeff for the hospitality.

    Response from Captain

    Mahalo Terry! looking forward to the next time we get a chance to bend a rod!! Aloha!
