Had a great time - It was a fun filled experience, even if I didn‘t catch anything. I had a great time and enjoyed watching others catch small sharks.

Great experience - We had a beautiful day for fishing! Captain did a great job trying to get us on the fish, even if the fish weren’t wanting to be found. Danny the deckhand, was super helpful and engaging. We saw lots of dolphin and sea turtles. I think everyone caught something! We had a wonderful time!

Must do for the whole family - This was a great experience. Although we didn’t catch many fish big enough to keep we did catch several. Michael was very helpful and had a great attitude. I would definitely recommend this trip.

WONDERFUL EXCURSION!!! - This was fantastic. Jennifer and Jake were friendly and very, very knowledgeable about all things ocean, fish, local terrain, and boats. We had SO much fun on this beautiful boat with a wonderful captain and first mate. 1000% worth it and I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Amazing day out!!! - This fishing trip was absolutely amazing! Went with family while visiting HHI. We all caught many sharks and other fish. Captain Jennifer and Jack were SO friendly and knowledgeable. They let us fish independently but were always available to help when needed!

Overall good day! - It was a good day, our Captain and Sawyer were very helpful. It was an extremely sunny and hot day and we choose the wrong side of the ship so we’re in direct sun 3/4 of the time. Definitely bring sunscreen and long sleeve shirt if you don’t want to burn. The current was strong and there were so many people trying to fish at the same time that our lines were getting tangled. Overall still a good day!

Mediocre - Our trip switched from offshore fishing to inshore shark fishing and was cut to 3 hours due to weather. We were notified of the change when we checked in and were told we’d receive a $10 refund per person. This would have been ok with me and I was prepared for the rain. However, the boat left late because the captain didn’t want to get wet driving the boat in the rain(??). We went to one spot to fish and even though there wasn’t much activity there the captain didn’t attempt to move us to another place in the hopes of getting more fish. At the end we were told to bring up our lines, remove any bait and secure the hooks. I generally wouldn’t mind doing this but felt that the first mate should be doing this and not the guests.

Disappointed - The trip was promoted as an half day “OFF SHORE EXCURSION” turned into a 2 & 1/2 hour shark fishing trip. Not good at all !!! The boat only had about 15 passengers on board…so I’m guessing that the captain didn’t want to go out and waste the gas because he wouldn’t have broken even on his expenses. Cited the weather as an excuse. Best weather that I’ve seen in quite awhile. Would not recommend this captain or this charter to anyone.

not worth it. - Everyone was nice but this was just not worth the money. It took an hour to get to the fishing spot and the only thing anyone on the boat caught was little fish. Multiple people got sea sick and were throwing up while we were trying to fish. Another hour long trip back made this was a not so great experience. The kids were extremely bored and the boat moved so slow you didn’t even get a breeze to cool you down. Just go with a smaller boat fishing experience.
