Hawaii
Fishing
“exceeded our expectations” ~ Ken (Nov 2025)
Hawaii waters are rich with life. We catch a wide variety of fish like Pacific Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin Spear Fish, Wahoo and many other big game fish. At times, you may encounter a variety of pelagic fish along with whales, dolphins, porpoises, monk seals, and sea turtles. Seabirds frequently swoop in to feed on small fish, shrimp, and squid as our target species chase them toward the surface. It’s an incredible opportunity to witness the ocean’s circle of life firsthand in these fishing grounds.
The Hawaiian Islands sit in the heart of the Central Pacific, a remote volcanic chain located thousands of miles from any major continent. As you depart Kewalo Harbor, the ocean floor drops off rapidly — within minutes, you’ll be fishing in waters more than 1,200 feet deep. On most days, we’re out over 3,000 to 9,000 feet of water, surrounded by the true open-ocean environment that makes Hawaii’s deep-sea fishing so exceptional.
