Go offshore of Kaanapali into the deep water of the Au'au channel in search of big game fish of a lifetime. Choose between a shared charter for a sociable outing or a private charter for a more personalized experience. Whether you're trolling for mahi-mahi, ono, and ahi, or engaging in inshore jigging, this fishing expedition offers an unforgettable day on the water, guided by an expert captain who adjusts the fishing style based on the season, weather, and skill level.

What to Expect

Meet the captain and crew and board the "Kimmy V," a 28′ True Marine vessel designed for optimal comfort and performance on the open water.

For Shared Charters: Starting from Mala Wharf Boat Ramp, just 4 miles south of the Kaanapali resort area you will join a small group of like-minded fishing enthusiasts as you embark on a collective quest for the big catch. After a quick introduction to the gear and safety protocols, you'll head out to the deep waters off Lahaina’s coast. Trolling for species like mahi-mahi, ono, and ahi is the main focus, with the option for inshore jigging available for those with more experience. The captain will tailor the day’s activities to ensure everyone on board gets the most out of their fishing experience.

For Private Charters: Opt for a private charter for a more customized fishing adventure. With this option you have the offer to be picked up right off Kaanapali Beach or meet at Mala Wharf. With just your group on board, the day’s itinerary can be adjusted to fit your specific preferences and skill level. Whether you’re targeting large pelagic fish or prefer the challenge of inshore jigging, the captain will work closely with you to create a perfect fishing experience. Enjoy the privacy and flexibility of your own charter, making it ideal for families, friends, or anyone looking for a more intimate outing.

Throughout the trip, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning vistas of Maui’s coastline, with possible sightings of dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life. The crew will assist with gear and provide tips to enhance your fishing experience. If you land a catch, the captain will clean and fillet it, so you can take it home to savor.

As you return to shore, relax and reflect on the day’s adventure, sharing stories of your catches and enjoying the last moments on the water. By the time you dock, you'll have a cooler full of fresh fish and lasting memories of your time on the Pacific.
