  • Frequently Asked Questions

    “Everything You Always Wanted to Know but Forgot to Ask.” My Maui fishing F.A.Q. page answers many common questions regarding charter boat prices, fish policies, game fish you might expect to catch, types of fishing charters (deepsea sportfishing vs. bottom fishing, vs. light tackle), weather concerns, etc. This page should answer most of your questions. If not, feel free to email me.

    Charter Fishing Boats on Maui

    There are roughly 25 charter fishing boats on Maui (I've listed most of them here) but there are less than a dozen I recommend. I don't publish my “don't bother” list on the internet ‘cause Maui is a small island and I've got to live with these folks. But if you complete my sport fishing inquiry form I'll fill you in! Don't worry if you don't know what vessel you want, just tell me what your needs are and I'll point you towards the most appropriate vessel.

    How to make a fishing reservation

    Advance reservations are the way to go. No fishing license (or deposit) required.

    Maui Bottom Fishing

    OK, so you might not hook up to a world class, pacific blue marlin, mahi mahi, or ono, but face it; fishing's fun no matter what you're catching, and your practically guaranteed to catch something on a Maui bottom fishing trip!

    Reef & Shore Fishing

    "Yes, Virginia, there is some fun shore, beach and reef fishing on Maui!" Can't fit a day of charter boat fishing into your vacation schedule or budget? You've got to read this page!

    Fishing Pictures

    "Now, hold it out in front of you so it looks bigger!" OK, My wife's put together a really cool slideshow and a photo album with images we've collected over the years. Mahi mahi (dorado), ono (wahoo), ahi (yellowfin tuna), barracuda, rainbow runners (Hawaiian salmon), and of course, lots of marlin. Enjoy.

    The Fish Maui Store

    OK, not really a "store" but we do sell some great shirts and Hawaii fishing books online. C'mon, buy something. I've got a kid in prep school, a ten year old son, and just wait 'till you see the price of gas on Maui!! (Let's just say they don't publish it in national statistics because it throws off the curve).
