What should we bring?Bring the aloha spirit and good vibes! For a fun and comfortable day out on the water, be sure to pack a few essentials. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are a must to protect yourself from the sun, and UV-protective clothing is a great option for extra coverage. We also recommend bringing your own lunch, snacks, and drinks to keep energized throughout the day. The boat is equipped to ensure your comfort, but feel free to bring anything you may need for a comfortable day on the water. There are small stores near the harbor that offer sandwiches, snacks, drinks, and even beer, but it’s best to purchase these items in advance as the selection is limited. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water!

Can we keep what we catch?Yes, you can keep what you catch, within reasonable limits of what you’ll enjoy while on vacation. Our crew will cut, clean, and bag the fish for you. However, not all fish can be kept. Some species, including certain sizes, may be catch and release to support sustainability. We encourage you to take home some fresh fish, but please keep in mind that we do reserve the right to keep yellowfin tuna over 50 pounds.

Follow the road all the way to the end, toward the boat ramps. On the left side of the easternmost ramp, you’ll find access to our designated ramp area, marked with a sign. Once on the dock, our crew will be there to greet you and answer any last-minute questions.
