Dave is a great guy, he has that down to earth, dry sense of humor that all great captains have. when the fish is on, dave is all business. he jumps into quarterback mode and uses the boat to help you get that fish in; it worked out great for us as we pulled in a 140 lb blue marlin within 20 minutes of the day starting.

We had the greatest time! Dave was awesome and so helpful. We were 4.5 hours into the trip and no fish, but then my husband caught a shortbill spear fish, and a short time later my son caught one! Captain Dave was very helpful through it all. We came home with enough fish to get us through the last two nights here on Hawaii. Loved the snacks and water, nice restroom on board too. We would definitely recommend!

Captain Dave is great, did everything he could to put me on fish, but I only booked a half day and fish just weren’t there today. he stayed out well past the time slot I payed to try and hook up, but some days the fish just don’t want it. he was on time, prepared and boat was clean. Would recommend booking again.

We had the best day! The captain was chill 😎  and helped us through the entire experience. First time deep sea fishing and now we have a new found love! We caught 5 tuna (17-25lbs) and hooked 7. We didn’t catch the elusive blue marlin but we did see another crew catch one in the distance so we had the chance to marvel in its magnificence. You can tell that Captain Dave loves what he does. He experiences the same joy as his customers when we celebrate each catch. Couldn’t recommend him... More

We had a great time with Captain Dave on a beautiful morning!  Beautiful views of the island, nice conversation, and a great catch as well.  My husband was excited to reel in a good size spearfish! Captain Dave was very gracious when one of us didn’t handle the sea so well. My husband very much enjoyed Dave’s conversation and insights to the island while cleaning the catch and providing us with a generous portion to prepare back at our rental. Thanks Captain Dave!
