Under the guidance of our expert captains, you’ll learn local fishing techniques, discover the best lures, and target various fish species based on your skill level.

As with all our charters, stay alert for wildlife, as ocean life can surprise you at any moment. You might encounter Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Humpback Whales (seasonal), Bottlenose Dolphins, and even Flying Fish!

Although we primarily practice catch and release, you may be able to take your catch home, depending on legal limits and the Captain’s discretion.

If you’re looking for deep-sea fishing, this may not be the right charter for you, but we’d be happy to provide recommendations for the best deep-sea experiences.
