We booked a 3-hour guided fishing trip in Hawaii with my wife and daughter, and it turned out to be such a fun family experience. The conditions were a bit windy and the waves were strong, but that just made it feel like a real ocean adventure.

I caught a triggerfish, my wife landed a goatfish, and one of the coolest moments was when the crew let me reel in a shark that we hooked — such an adrenaline rush and definitely a highlight of the trip! Even though our daughter didn’t catch one this time, she still had an amazing time watching sea turtles, a seal, and sharks swimming around the boat — plus she got a nice little nap in with the ocean breeze.

The crew really made the trip special. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, which made everything easy and enjoyable for beginners and experienced anglers alike. We felt well taken care of the entire time.

Definitely recommend this trip for families or anyone looking for a fun day on the water. We’ll absolutely be back next time!

Weather was not ideal, but this boat said “lets go for it” and we did. We fish “a-lot” and this was one of those days where you had to be there. 6 on the boat, and we hooked up to a Wahoo on the troll right out of the harbor. Got him on deck, and headed out to do some bottom fishing. Plenty of Trigger fish, a few Goat fish, and it was a great afternoon. The captain and crew were extremely fun and knowledgeable. All in all, we surpassed all expectations. We planned on just doing a trip because we were visiting from the mainland. But this will go down as a very memorable trip. We even got to pull on a few sharks for a while. You should’ve been there.

Capt. Mike and his deckhand were amazing. They know what they are doing and were always hustling to get us fish. I would still rate them 5 stars even if we didnt catch anything. There are certainly cheaper charters on smaller boats. I chose to spend the extra money for my family because of their previous reviews and the size of the boat. It was the right decision. The seas were pretty rough. I was told that it was less rough than ususal. Regardless, it was nice to have an A/C cabin with big couches. A couple of folks on our trip got sea sick. It helped a lot that they could lay down. I could imagine what it would have been like on a 25-35’ boat. I highly recommend them and will book with them the next time I’m in town.

Our deep sea fishing experience was memorable thanks to an outstanding crew. They were professional, friendly, and extremely attentive throughout the trip. Despite a few unfortunate circumstances that were out of anyone’s control, the crew handled everything with grace and ensured we still had a fun and comfortable experience. Their positive attitude really made all the difference. Highly recommend!

This was my second charter out of Honolulu and my first on the Reel Life. I will never use any other company on my return trips. I brought my two sons (10,14) along for the trip! the crew were top tier fisherman and instructors. They took the time to guide my sons through the process of what occurs if we hook up and explaned all of the facilities on the amazing vessel! We were lucky enough to catch two Mahi Mahi and had a chance at a marlin! Overall the only thing i would change is booking a longer trip for the whole day!
