Captain Akihiro was outstanding. He worked hard all day to keep us on fish, and his experience really showed. We caught fish, had a great time, and learned a lot along the way. What stood out most was how calm, patient, and positive he was throughout the trip. He was always actively searching for fish and adjusting tactics to give us the best chance for success, while also taking the time to teach and explain what we were doing. If you’re looking for a captain who is both a skilled fisherman and a great teacher, Captain Akihiro is the real deal. Highly recommended for anglers of any experience level.

Booked this trip as a late wedding gift for my brother and had a great time. Captain Aki took the time to show the three of us the zones and teach us his jigging technique, and even worked to accommodate us so we could use our own gear. Though the fish weren't biting, it was obvious that Captain Aki was knowledgeable and passionate about what he was doing, and it kept us stoked just to be on the water with him. My brother still managed one kahala and one kamanu and a couple of fumbled strikes, totally outfishing me and our buddy. We will definitely look to book with him again.

I highly recommend Akihiro hands down very precise fisherman and very knowledgeable on gear and the area. very friendly and out going and works hard to get you hooked up. Ive been on multiple charters throughout my years coming to Oahu and he definitely stands out of the bunch. he had everything (gear,bathroom,and water ect) we needed just bring snacks, strength and sun screen. also want to add he is great with kids letting him hang out with him on the captain console an teaching him the techniques. Next year I will be definitely utilizing jigging Honolulu again!
Captain Akihiro knows the water like the back of his hand. His jigging technique is cool, learned something new. He explained what he’s doing, why and what fish he’s targeting. We caught an amberjack, lost a few big bites and tons of goat fish. Would go again!

Captain Aki mentioned that a yellowfin can be caught by jigging in deep waters. I was extremely surprised and ecstatic that he directed the fishing to 270M depth and a yellowfin was caught and brought on board with a 300g jig. Be prepared for multiple species at different depths.
