Boat was spotless, gear was top quality, and they were genuinely great with our kids.
Hanalei Bay Family Fishing Trip
A calm-water half day on Kauai's north shore, built around first-time young anglers. Your captain runs the spread, rigs the baits and puts you on fish; you bring sunscreen, a hat and something to keep the catch photos on. Rods, reels, terminal tackle, ice and licences are all included in the trip price.
Departures are from Hanalei, Kauai. Check-in is thirty minutes before the scheduled departure so the crew can brief you on the boat and get lines in the water on time.
Boat Details
A clean, well-maintained sportfisher rigged for shared charters, carrying up to 10 anglers plus crew. Shaded cabin, marine head, fighting chair, outriggers and a full spread of trolling and bottom tackle. Coast Guard inspected and equipped with life jackets for every guest, including child sizes.
Fishing Season
Fishing runs year-round out of Hanalei, Kauai. Blue marlin peak from June through September, ono and mahi-mahi are strongest in the spring and autumn shoulder months, and yellowfin ahi show through the summer. Winter trips trade some blue-water action for calmer, more predictable inshore conditions.
Weather
Hawaii’s trade winds keep most days fishable. Mornings are typically the calmest water, which is why the earliest departures book out first. Trips are only cancelled for genuine safety reasons — if the captain calls it off, you are offered the next available slot or a full refund, no charge either way.
Location
Hanalei, Kauai.
Free parking is available at the harbor. Arrive thirty minutes before departure; the crew will meet you at the slip and help you aboard.

Great trip overall. Water was a little rough on the way out but the crew handled it well.
Third year in a row with this crew. They know exactly where to go and it shows.
Hooked up within forty minutes of leaving the harbor. Would book again in a heartbeat.
Solid half day. Would have liked a bit more time on the water but no complaints otherwise.
