At Kewalo Basin, most of the charter fishing companies work together to ensure everyone makes it out on the water. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee your experience will be with us, but will say it’s a fun and affordable way to go fishing and meet other anglers from around the world. To assign each angler to a rod, we draw cards as we leave the harbor. After each fish is fought, each angler’s rod moves clockwise to keep things fair, just in case one rod or lure is hot that day. Many times, great friendships are created having a great day on the ocean. All you have to do is decide which day you want to go.
Getting to the harbor early ensures smooth boarding and more time on the water.
