My family of four had the pleasure of chartering Captain Jerry’s boat June 18th. Captain Jerry and deckhand Tyler were very knowledgeable and friendly. Communication was great throughout the booking and the day of the charter. My teenage boys were so excited for the trip, unfortunately the waters were less than ideal, a bit choppy, and pretty rainy (although it’s expected in Hilo). Captain Jerry and Tyler did everything they could think of to get us to where they thought fish would... Meer

David I am sorry you ended up getting motion sickness, the ocean is not very forgiving! We do our best to advise on conditions, but everyone is different. We did hook up two nice fish, but they did end up throwing tge hook. Its how fishing is sometimes! We enjoyed your family and appreciate you going out with us. It was great to meet you and we had a pleasure showing you our world of fishing. Best Wishes! Capt Jerry

First and foremost Captain Jerry is focused on safety and a good fishing experience. I’ve been on many charters and there comes a time when fishing is difficult. In these situations there are those captains and mates that will grind it out and still catch fish using a multitude of techniques.That’s the DNA of Captain Jerry and first mate Tyler. We caught a some great Mahi Mahi and a nice Wahoo. If you are on the Big Island and want to fish we recommend Malama charters for you and your family.

Captain Jerry was very nice and knowledgeable. The boat was very clean and his deck hand Tyler helped with anything we needed when it came to using equipment and baiting hooks. We caught mahi and tuna. Overall it was an amazing fishing trip and we look forward to fishing with Jerry again.
