Great fishing experience - Great experience fishing with Will and Jay. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable, and my teenage son ended up reeling in 2 blue marlins in our morning cruise, which made him so happy. Thanks for great memories.

Great day on the water hooking a Blue Marlin! - We had an amazing day today with Capt William and Rooster. I had been looking forward to this trip and was hoping to catch a Blue Marlin. It was so exciting when I got to reel one in! They made the trip fun and informative. We also got to see a whale and flying fish. Highly recommend booking with them, they are very knowledgeable.

Friendly and fun! Caught a Blue Marlin! - Friendly captain and crew mate. We caught a marlin within the first 45 mins or so out but that was all for the day. We loved just hanging on the boat and my Teen and adult son just loved the experience of being able to see and say they caught a blue marlin. We released it back so it could get bigger it was about 5-6ft the crew said. They were friendly and helpful and if I return will definitely book with them again.

Quiet at first but great finish! - William and Wes were a top-notch crew… Both share a love and respect for fishing these beautiful, bountiful waters and it had a positive effect on our parties hopes to catch a nice fish. It took a few hours but William found a pair of beautiful spearfish. We only landed one but that was still worth the time and money… Next time out we will book an 8-hour excursion which will allow the Captain more time to pivot to a more productive fishing spot. All-in-all this was a blast-topped by the mango-lime marinated grilled Hebi (two minutes per side max!).

Fishing Charter - Wow, I can’t say enough about Reel Escapes Fishing Charter. The owner Brent, Captain William, and first mate Rooster were the best. It was so easy to schedule my charter through Brent and fishing with Captain William and Rooster was awesome. They were so good at providing instructions and educating me about the fishery and area. I would recommend Reel Escapes to anyone.. Wonderful time!!

Brent and William were so... - Brent and William were so nice! Brent explained a lot to us about fishing, tides, etc. The lures were the biggest I’ve ever seen. Fishing on Hawaii was a bucket list item for us and it was amazing!!! The day was beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely go again with them if we are blessed enough to come back ❤️
