Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing offers anglers the chance to tackle Pacific giants off Honolulu's coast. With well-maintained boats and skilled crews, it's a solid option for those chasing big game fish in Hawaiian waters.

Details

In the heart of Honolulu, Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing offers access to some of the richest offshore waters of the Pacific. Operating from 307 Lewers St, this outfitter specializes in deep sea fishing charters designed for anglers aiming to hook prized game fish native to Hawaiian waters. The surrounding ocean features reefs and drop-offs that draw an exciting diversity of big game species including Blue Marlin, Ono (Wahoo), Mahi Mahi, and Yellowfin Tuna.

Trips often depart from Honolulu Harbor, where the crew prepares clients for several hours trekking beyond the reef into deeper waters ideal for trophy fishing. The business hosts a selection of boats, with vessels like the Wild Bunch and Strikeology regularly noted for their well-kept gear and professional crews. These boats allow anglers to target different fishing styles, from trolling artificial lures to bottom fishing, adapting to conditions for the best chance at a catch.

Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing places a strong emphasis on creating a genuine angling experience on the open Pacific, with several guests reporting memorable encounters, including landing a 180-pound Blue Marlin. The onboard crews, often praised for their friendliness and support, bring local expertise to the trip, sharing knowledge on local species and fishing techniques.

This operation stands out because it delivers direct access to deep waters rarely matched by shore-based alternatives, blending the thrill of ocean sport fishing with the dynamic marine landscape of Hawaii. For visitors based in Honolulu, this is an opportunity to engage the raw power of the Pacific in an authentic, hands-on way. Whether coming for a family outing or a focused fishing expedition, Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing can offer an immersive taste of Hawaii’s marine wilderness.

Stay hydrated

Prolonged sun and physical activity mean water consumption is vital throughout the trip.

Communicate your experience level

Let the crew know your fishing background so they can tailor guidance and gear accordingly.
