Explore the Pacific Ocean off Maui with Custom Fishing Experiences. Target Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Ono on tailored charters that blend adventure, sustainability, and local culture.
Lahaina Maritime operates from Lahaina, HI, offering targeted fishing charters along Maui’s coastline and offshore Pacific waters. The company provides a range of options for families, groups, and experienced anglers, combining local knowledge with well-maintained vessels and standard gear.
For anglers seeking quick action, Lahaina Maritime runs a 4-hour Bottom Fishing charter that focuses on nearshore species such as uku and ulua, using live bait and jigs. That trip is available as a private charter for a single party or as a shared excursion.
For longer offshore outings, Lahaina Maritime offers Custom Fishing Experiences aboard a center console vessel. These 5-, 6-, and 8-hour trips focus on pelagic species including mahi mahi, tuna, and ono. Private groups up to six people can choose the trip length that fits their goals, with the crew practicing responsible handling and releasing when appropriate. Excess catch may be donated to or sold through local markets, supporting community connections.
Safety and transparency are priorities: vessels are equipped for nearshore and offshore operations, and trip descriptions specify duration, target species, and group size. Lahaina Maritime emphasizes clear booking options, family-friendly pacing, and accommodating anglers of different experience levels. Whether targeting bottom structure near Maui or pursuing offshore sportfish, Lahaina Maritime provides guided access to Hawaii’s fisheries with an emphasis on local stewardship and a private, group-focused experience.
Booking information includes trip length, target species, private versus shared options, group size limits, and any fish-handling protocols to ensure guests can plan confidently before departure and local regulations.
