  Big Fish & Great Vibes!

  Full Day Trip on May 20, 2026 • 2 adults

  My wife and I went out with Captain Keaka and his mate Kalani. It was the trip of a lifetime! They were awesome people to hang out with and even better fishermen. We crushed the big Mahi, putting 8 in the box, and capped the day off with a great Yellowfin Tuna, which was my first and the first one caught in the harbor this season. We were all fired up on the boat and were greeted at the dock by a bunch of the other captains to see the catch. Not only did we have a great day fishing, but Captain Keaka and Kalani's banter and excitement for fishing made the trip something my wife and I will never forget. The ocean was rough, but the boat handles amazing and was very comfortable given the conditions. I cannot recommend going out with this crew enough and you should definitely take the full day charter. Our Yellowfin was caught at the end of our day, trolling back torwards the harbor. Give thes guys enough time on the water and you will have a great time and catch great fish! Truely blessed to have fished with Captain Keaka and Kalani! If we are back on Honolulu we will definitely be booking again.

  Aloha Calvin, Mahalo for the amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such an incredible day on the water with Captain Keaka and Kalani. Putting 8 mahi in the box and landing your first Yellowfin Tuna—especially the first one brought into the harbor this season—is the kind of fishing story that lasts a lifetime! One of the things we love most is sharing the excitement of those special moments with our guests, and it sounds like the entire boat was fired up when that tuna hit the deck. There's nothing quite like pulling into the harbor with an outstanding catch and being greeted by fellow captains eager to see what's in the fish box. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Captain Keaka and Kalani. They are passionate about fishing and love sharing that enthusiasm with everyone who steps aboard. Thank you for choosing Go Hawaii Watersports. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Hawaiian fishing adventure soon! Mahalo, Go Hawaii Watersports

  mahi-mahi for everyone

  Half Day Trip (12:00PM) on March 25, 2026 • 5 adults

  Keaka, Kalani and Jack were fantastic. They made us feel right home and part of the team. They taught us everything we needed to know about the boat and the gear. We were a six person group and we had 6 mahi-mahi hooked and landed five. Everyone got to be part of reeling em in and experienced joy of holding up a gorgeous fish for a hero shot. we had 4 teens with us and they LOVED the experience. the boat was great - very comfortable, lots of room. we were all first timers. I would recommend this team highly. They worked their tails off the entire trip to make sure we we had the best chance for success and were having fun.

  Aloha Ken, Mahalo for the incredible review! We are so happy to hear your group had such an amazing day on the water. Landing mahi mahi and getting everyone involved is what makes these trips so special, especially for first timers. Keaka, Kalani, and Jack will be stoked to hear your kind words. They love sharing their knowledge and making guests feel like part of the team, and it sounds like they delivered exactly that experience. It is great to know your whole group, especially the teens, had such a memorable time. Those hero shots with your catch are moments you never forget! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you all back again for another epic fishing adventure with Go Hawaii Watersports. Mahalo, the Go Hawaii Watersports team

  Mahimahi on the line

  Half Day Trip on February 25, 2026 • 2 adults

  Our trip with Captain Kaeka and his crew was fantastic. Teya and Kalani kept baits in the and boated all the fish for us. Captain Troy also was on board and aided in putting us on fish. We had some big, (to us) water and the crew took very good care of the three of who had issues with that. We only missed on one fish; a marlin, who jumped and was able to spit the bait. We are all berybplease with trip and our experience with this crew and highly recommend them for first and next Hawaiian fishing adventure.

  Thank you so much for the great review, Larry! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic trip with Captain Kaeka, Captain Troy, Teya, and Kalani. Our crew truly loves what they do, and it’s great to know they kept the lines tight and took good care of everyone on board, especially with the bigger water that day. Making sure our guests are comfortable and having a great time is always our top priority. It sounds like you had an exciting day out there, and even though that marlin managed to shake the hook, getting the chance to see one jump is always a thrilling moment! Mahalo for choosing Go Hawaii Watersports for your fishing adventure and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back out on the water for your next Hawaiian fishing trip!

  Great trip

  Half Day Trip on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  Only had time for a half day trip but Captain Keaka and mate Kalani took us way way out and expertly focused on a small group of 4-5 birds which told them where the fish were. Immediately hooked a huge 50 lb bull mahi mahi which fought us for 30 minutes. Took both my son and i the entire time to bring it in. fantastic!

  Aloha David, Thank you so much for sharing the details of your fishing trip with us. We are thrilled to hear that you and your son had such an incredible experience, especially with a 50-pound bull mahi mahi on a half-day charter. Captain Keaka and Kalani will be happy to hear that their experience spotting the birds and finding the fish helped lead to such an exciting catch. We can only imagine the battle that mahi gave you both after a 30-minute fight. What a fantastic memory to share with your son! Thank you for choosing Go Hawaii Watersports and for taking the time to tell us about your adventure. We hope to have you both back aboard for another great day of fishing in the future.
