Amazing crew

Full Day Trip9 adults

The crew was amazing! Great communication from Captain Andy before our trip to let us know we needed licenses and other details. The entire crew were knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Our family had a great out at sea. The boat was nice. The cabin area was air conditioned. There was a kitchen with a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Assorted non alcoholic drinks were available but no bottled water. We went out for a full day and caught 1 fish. The crew gutted the fish and put it on ice at sea. We didn’t know what to expect when we got back to dock…on other fishing trips we’ve been on in the past, the crew filleted the fish for us and put it into bags for us to take home and cook. They didn’t offer to fillet it for us so we let them keep the fish. All in all a great day with family. Thank you Captain Andy, Anna, and man from Brazil (so very sorry I can’t remember your name🤦‍♀️)! Seas the day!

    Highly Recommended Trip

    3/4 Day Trip AM - 1:00 PM • 7 adults

    This was a great trip - Captain Andy, Sam and Anna were a terrific crew that provided a lot of education and great stories along the way and between the fish. Plus they were able to find the recently elusive Mahi Mahi, quite a feat and we didn't have to eat pizza that night! The boat was great - big, plenty of comfort for a full day and well equipped. This was a great trip and we would definitely do it again.

    Reported Catch
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Great experience minus our captain

    Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM • 7 adults

    Jerry who was our fishing specialist was awesome. He was friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable and made the trip fun even without catching any fish. Anna was very nice and very friendly, she made us all feel welcome and comfortable. Both of these people were the reason our trip was great. The female captain wasn't very friendly and seemed high the entire trip, she was about to fall asleep while bringing the vessel out of the marina and wouldn't slow the boat down to help Jerry or with fishing because she said we were running late. She was the only reason for any of our negative thoughts on the trip. The yatch is extremely nice and had plenty of room for seven adults.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear that Jerry, our fishing specialist, and Anna made your trip enjoyable with their friendliness, knowledge, and welcoming demeanor. That’s exactly the kind of service we aim to provide, even in the absence of a catch. I’m sorry to hear that your interactions with the captain affected your overall impression. I want to explain that the captain was dealing with medical issues on that day, which understandably impacted their energy and ability to pace the trip as usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding in that moment, and we’re grateful you still could enjoy the yacht’s spacious and well appointed setup. Your feedback is important, and we’ll use it to address performance and communication to ensure every part of the experience aligns with our guests’ expectations.  To get a fish on the line for you, we invite you on our bottom fishing, a shared adventure complementary. Hope to see you soon. Aloha and a hui hou!

    over a good trip

    Half Day Trip • 12 adults • 4 children

    Andy and Lucas are some knowledgeable fishermen. Took us out on a 4 hour trip and got the job done in the last hour. We had multiple fish biting at one time, so having another experienced deckhand would have been nice. My nephew landed a nice marlin though. The yacht was extremely comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Also, they have a hot tub and that was a big plus for my kids. Definitely recommend doing a full day charter though. All in all a great experience and will definitely rebook with them again.

    thanks for taking the time to write us such a kimd review, we had such a lovely time out with you and were stoked to hook that marlin for you!

    Great crew

    Full Day Trip PM • 8 adults • 2 children

    Lucas and Anna were the best deck hands we've ever had! And Captain Andy put us on the fish and kept us in the fish. They knew when to hang back and let us have some privacy with our group and when to be present. When fish were hitting they were right there quickly and super helpful. This was our best experience of Hawaii!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much for sharing this glowing review and these great framable photos! We’re thrilled to hear that Lucas, Anna, and Captain Andy helped make your Hawaii trip the best experience you’ve had on the water. It’s wonderful to know the crew found the perfect balance of giving your group privacy and being readily available when the action started. The crew be glad to hear they made such a positive impact. If you’d ever like to sail with us again, we’d love to welcome you back for another memorable day on the on the water 🐟🤙
