Sport Fishing and Trolling (When Conditions Allow)
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.
Private Sunset & Moonlight Cruises
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.
Highlights:
Sunset Engagements & Honeymoon Moments
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.
Perfect For:
Surprise sunset proposals and engagement shoots
Honeymoon or anniversary cruises just for two
Romantic sunset‑plus‑fishing combo evenings where you drop lines first, then relax as the sky lights up
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.
Seasonal Whale Watching
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.
