"When my wife agreed that we needed a vacation and Hawaii was our destination the first thing that came to my mind was world-class sport fishing. After weeks of researching up on charter boats in Hawaii we declared the Grand Slam to be our boat of choice and booked it a month in advance. Captain Hopper and the crew did not disappoint, we had a blast hunting down huge 150 lb Tuna, Wahoo and Mahi were also on the days to-catch list. The boat ride is awesome, fast and comfortable and the service is excellent. Thanks again Captain Hopper, Aloha!" - Jarrod Maples, New Orleans
