The Imua, Ikena, and Chas are names that will forever be burned into my memory. Great fishing, knowledgeable, friendly, determined captain, hardworking and passionate crew. We caught Wahoo (unfortunately didn't boat), a couple of nice Mahi Mahi, some Skip Jack tuna (made great Poke) and lastly a Barracuda (unfortunately did boat ;-) ). Learned a lot through stories and conversation with both Chas and Ikena. This is my third and most successful deep-sea fishing charter in recent years. I would definitely recommend. Thanks, Ikena! You are a first-class individual hope to see you again, soon. Chas thanks for looking out for Elina! Much appreciation. Best of luck to you both!

The ocean was pretty...

Joe_L, Mar 2024

The ocean was pretty rough, three of the 5 of us got sea sick. We did catch 2 yellow fin tuna. Had a wonderful dinner with our catch. The crew were as good as could be given the conditions.

Great time!! Would...

Dea_J, Jan 2024

Great time!! Would highly recommend. Cap and Dylan worked hard and shared both fishing and things to do with us. Bonus - a couple of whales waved at us.

Such a great time caught...

Braydon_B, Dec 2023

Such a great time caught some tuna and marlin! Crew was great and seemed highly experienced. Let us keep some of our catch to cook

Imua, meaning to go forward with strength, courage and strong spirit...

Really rough waters!

Jamie_B, Aug 2023

I hate to write a bad review because the people were great and easy to work with. Honestly though, we had a crappy experience - the water was so rough that all of us were seasick, and we are avid boaters, not prone to seasickness. We did multiple other water excursions in HI with no issue. We didn’t catch anything and asked to turn around about 1.5 hrs in cause we were all sick. He did warn us that it was rough, but my opinion is that it should have been canceled with as bad as it was. We spent a ton of money and really disappointed with how it turned out.

Fantastic

Lesley_R, Jul 2023

Fantastic crew, put us (dad with 3 kiddos) on the fish despite rough water/wind and helped my 17 year old land a 10 ft blue marlin. First rate, thanks guys! Aloha!

What a Ride!

Courtney_C, Jul 2023

5/5- service! Overall service was incredible!! The captain and Chaz did an excellent job managing the boat and lures and poles and everything that needed to be done. I have no complaints about their customer service because it was great! They were super meticulous about the cleaning of their boat too- wiping down seats that got wet from the waves and spraying down the blood from fish. The biggest thing that wasn’t unexpected was the sea conditions- they said it was right on the edge of cancelling because waves were going to be about 5 feet- we had never been in those Type of conditions and wow what a crazy experience- the waves got up to about 7 feet apparently too and it was thrilling and somewhat scary for me all at the same time. Not to mention, if you get sea sick, prepare to throw up. Even if you don’t get sea sick, you might get sick anyways. My husband was vomiting pretty much the entire time off and on and was nauseous the entire time so it’s just a miracle he reeled in even one fish and took a photo. He was super miserable. Please please please bring medicine for anti-nausea!! Just in case!! We wish we had been warned and told to bring some cuz it could have been a game changer and we were pretty much stuck on a boat for 4 hours. They should have some sort of over the counter stuff on the boat but they don’t do bring your own! It seems like people getting sea sick on these trips is super common- unless perhaps you’re used to these type of conditions but Kauai apparently has some of the roughest of all of the islands due to its location. We didn’t get to catch any of the big guys but we did catch 6 of the Jack tuna and got to take some back with us so looking forward to eating that today. They did anything and everything they could to catch us fish- it’s also trolling fishing so you’re always moving so be prepared for that too. They worked their butt’s off on that boat- I was thankful for their experience and just overall positive demeanor, even emptying my husband barf bucket on a regular basis. We had to have the co-captain reel in some of our fish because at points 2 would be on the line and my husband wasn’t physically able to reel them in due to being sick so it was me and Chaz reeling in the fish. This was our first time fishing in Kauai or anywhere in Hawaii and it was for sure a memorable experience! I would recommend for sure as long as you’re aware of the seas and bring medicine for that! The boat is super nice and customer service is on point!

Fun day!

Doug_F, Jun 2023

Great day fishing, great crew. Would have been a five star we just didn’t catch any fish. Super friendly and ready to answer any questions.

Wonderful people. Had a blast Beautiful day. Frustrated that this review site makes me continue writing until a minimum is met.

Fishing Fun

Addie_G, Jun 2023

Had an absolute blast on our 6 hour excursion. Guide and Captain were excellent help and got us into fish immediately! 6 of us (18 and older) caught 13, with one being a personal best super huge yellow fin tuna! Highly recommend.

Awesome experience!

Gwen_M, Jun 2023

The staffs are absolutely professional and they will do what it takes to try to catch a fish. We caught some skip Jack tuna. My kids loved the experience. They have everything to provide you if you get seasickness. I will definitely do it again until I catch a giant yellowtail! Thanks for taking us out! I’ll make sure my kid won’t bring a banana to the boat next time lol

Great fishing.

Robert_K, Apr 2023

This was one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. The crew found the fish quickly in challenging conditions and we put plenty of fish in the boat. The boat is in great shape, comfortable with a great captain and mate.

We all got sick, but everyone was smiles, and very very happy with the fishing trip!

Steven_G, Mar 2023

The boat crew was professional, courteous and safety minded. They really made this trip exciting. To include all of the heavy lifting and patience involved when we all got a little nausea…LOL! We were catching tuna 30 min into the trip! The highlight for me was seeing my boys Reel in that Marlin! This trip was super exciting and will likely remain in our hearts and minds forever! Can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Awesome fishing

Jeffrey_C, Dec 2022

What an awesome day. The boat crew worked very hard to teach and get us in areas with fish. We caught yellow tuna and mai mai. We also saw some whales!

Best fishing experience!

Katie_R, Dec 2022

We had a great time! The crew were great teachers, very kind, and found us some great spots to fish. We will be back again to fish with them. Thank you for the great memories!

Awesome fishing trip

Murray_C, Nov 2022

Amazing fishing trip. Meet time was 545 AM and we were on our way by 6am The captain and the crew worked their butts off getting us on the fish. We caught our first fish 20 minutes after we left the boat slip. We caught yellow fin tuna, Skipjack tuna and Mahi Mahi. They warned us about rougher seas but we didn't care. It was awesome! I highly recommend this company

BEST FISHING TRIP

Frank_B, Oct 2022

Kauai fishing

Keith_H, Apr 2022

Captain and first mate where exceptional. Had command of the boat with rough conditions and put us on fish. Great day

Fishing for fun

Debra_C, Feb 2022

Beautiful day on the water. Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting but not for lack of effort on the part of our captain and first mate! We did see whales and a sea turtle, and learned a bit more about the island of Kauai. Two proud dads doing what it takes to provide for their families, wishing them both the best.
