Waikiki Sport Fishing operates charter fishing experiences out of Honolulu, Hawaii, offering a range of shared and private trips from Kewalo Basin. The operation uses the Renegade for half-day and full-day sportfishing charters that target pelagic species such as mahi mahi, tuna, and blue marlin just minutes from Waikiki. Shared charters accommodate up to six anglers and are offered as four-hour half-day trips and eight-hour full-day trips where anglers draw for rod assignments and rotate after catches to ensure fairness and group enjoyment. Private options include a sunset boat cruise for families, friends, or romantic outings—featuring ocean views, Waikiki skyline scenery, and opportunities to spot whales, dolphins, and sea turtles—with snacks and drinks served onboard on select departures. A private bottom-fishing charter provides a short, family-friendly two-hour trip for up to six guests; guests may bring their own food and drinks and receive local guidance.
Safety and local knowledge are emphasized through experienced crew and quality equipment aboard the Renegade. Departure from Kewalo Basin keeps excursions close to Waikiki while providing access to productive fishing grounds. Booking options include shared seats and private charters tailored to group size and trip type. Waikiki Sport Fishing blends traditional Hawaiian hospitality with focused sportfishing experiences to accommodate anglers of varied skill levels and families seeking ocean adventures in Honolulu.
