Overall

The captain was very nice, but the trip was basically just riding on the boat. We couldn’t even catch any baitfish, so catching big fish was out of the question. We only spent about 15 minutes actually fishing—the rest of the time was just spent searching for fish. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

Hello Alex, am sorry that you feel this was a boat ride. We actually switch 4 different fishing techniques in 5h trip from shallow trolling to offshore trolling to bottom fishing to targeting bait. We did get a marlin hitting the lures and never stick. We did all what we could to put you on a fish but there are days that fish simply doesn’t cooperate and looks like that’s the day you were fishing. I explained before your trip that we never can assure catching a fish but what we are committed... More

We had such an awesome Fishing adventure. Captain Terek and his son EB were outstanding. My youngest son caught an 18.4 lb, 45+ inch ono and couldn’t have been happier to reel it in himself. It was such a great experience for my family to be out on the boat and take in the beautiful mountains of Oahu, we even saw humpback whales and a shark! Terek and his son were so accommodating and engaging with the the kids, they had such a blast. If you want a true fishing experience and an opportunity... More

We had a great day out on the water with Captain T-Rex and his first mate. Friendly and very knowledgeable it was the most relaxing charter I have ever taken and very reasonably priced. We may not have caught a boat load of fish, but we all learned a lot and chased fish and made opportunities for the full 5 hours. When we didn’t catch we all knew why and really didn’t care. We will be coming back every trip from now and suggesting Tarek this to all our friends. Whole heartedly recommend this... More

Capt Tarek and his son are fantastic hosts. His son played great music. They are very informative of all the local fishing and community. Very friendly and great with involving our four kids! We caught 4 yellow fin tuna (sharks got two). Nearly got a Marlin and trolled along with a jumping pod of dolphins to make it extra special. Bring a smile and good attitude and they bring Aloha and great fishing experience!

My family and I (wife, mother-in-law, and two Middle School aged sons) went on a 5-hour trolli g fishing trip with Capt. Tarek and his son who assisted as the deck hand on the lower section of the boat. we enjoyed a few minutes of bottom fishing and then went eight miles out to carch both Mahi Mahi and Skip Jack Tuna. we caught one Mahi Mahi and three tunas! we also saw a bunch of Pilot whales on our trip. This was a highlight of our Oahu trip! I would highly highly recommend this charter to anyone... More
