Fantastic day on the water with 5 Mahi Mahi boated. Painless to schedule as Adam was very helpful. Captain Joel and Jake are great guys and absolute pros on the water. Highly recommend!

Wow! The best sport fishing charter I’ve ever had! The reservation process was super easy and informative. Captain Fuzzy put us on the fish and deck hand Ekolu effortlessly put the fish on the boat. Its nice to see these men genuinely enjoying what they do! Mahalo!

Booked my trip with Adam last minute. Hes knowledgeable and got us in with 2 days notice on an 8hr trip. Captain Joel had us ontop of fish ALL DAY long. Jake was great on the deck and was sure every fish made it aboard. In our 8 hours we pulled in 8 Mahi as a group and at the end of the day I was able to get a Blue Marlin headed back. Very professional and experienced group!! I cannot recommend this company enough, thanks again to the team. We will be back, and they will be our first call!!

I been deep sea fishing around the world and sometimes it’s disappointing. This day Captain Fuzzy Did not disappoint! We departed promptly before first light. Mate was well organized. We started by catching live bait halfway to the fishing grounds with whales breaching all around us as first approached. Once we had enough live bait we went to captains preferred location and like clockwork we were trolling with catching everything from bull dolphin to mahi mahi to baby big eyes. When it time to r

Captain Joel and his First Mate Jake took 6 of us out on a beautiful morning. We trolled on the way out but had no luck. Then we switched to live bait (mackerel) we caught earlier and the game was on! We ended up with 11 Mahi Mahi on ice on the way back. As it turns out, our boat had the best day of any leaving the Ma'alaea Harbor that day! All of us shared in the catch as well taking as much home as we wanted (all fileted by the Captain himself). If you want a great fishing experience with fol

Great trip! Very well organized with lots of communication. You will leave earlier than all others but will definitely be rewarded with this crew. We worked hard and brought in 4 large Mahi Mahi and saw other crews get none! Great way to start a week in Hawaii with fresh fish for the week. Would definitely do it again.

We had an amazing time! 6 mahi and a marlin! Captain Keola was great at navigating the waves and finding the fish. Jake was strong and a great teacher on how to pull the fish in. We’d fish with these two again!
