Enjoy a fun, laidback bottom fishing adventure perfect for families and first-time anglers. After a quick trip out of the channel, you’ll be dropping lines over productive reef off Honolulu and Waikiki. You’ll target a lively mix of Hawaiian reef fish, often including snapper, amberjack, trevally, triggerfish, and wrasse. Our friendly crew takes care of the setup and heavy lifting so you can focus on catching and soaking in the island views.

For guests who want a more traditional sportfishing feel, we may integrate light trolling for pelagic species when conditions, season, and trip length allow. Depending on the day, this can be combined with bottom fishing on longer charters for a mixed experience.
Our 35' sportfishing boat the Sashimi, powered by a Caterpillar diesel, is well‑suited to Oahu's south shore waters and offers a comfortable ride while you troll the blue.
A private sunset or moonlight cruise is one of the most relaxing and romantic ways to enjoy Waikiki from the water. Glide along the coastline as the sunsets into the ocean or watch the lights of Honolulu reflect on the ocean under the moon.
Bring your favorite beverages and snacks—this BYOB cruise is perfect for couples, families, and celebrations. With your own private boat and crew, you'll have plenty of space to relax, take photos, and enjoy the view.
Looking for a one‑of‑a‑kind proposal, engagement celebration, or honeymoon date night in Waikiki? Our private sunset and moonlight cruises create a naturally romantic setting with golden skies, city lights, and the calm rhythm of the Pacific.
Because each charter is fully private, you can design the perfect moment for "Will you marry me?" or a quiet toast to your new life together—away from the crowds but right in the heart of Waikiki's iconic skyline. Bring your own champagne, favorite music, and photographer or simply keep it intimate and unplugged while we take care of the boat, the route, and the timing.

Honeymoon or anniversary cruises just for two

If you'd like extra time on the water, a particular backdrop like Diamond Head, or a special setup on deck, let us know in advance and we'll help you plan the details.
During Hawaii's whale season, we offer private coastal trips focused on spotting humpback whales along Oahu's south shore. You'll also have chances to see spinner dolphins and sea turtles while enjoying views of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
Because all whale trips are private, we move at your pace—watching whales when they're active and taking in the scenery when the ocean is calm.
