Trip Details
Passengers meet at Maui’s Maalaea harbor. Upon departure Strike Zone’s crew will familiarize passengers with the vessel, and then typically set some sport fishing lines and troll for big game fish en route to one of a number of bottom fishing destinations off Maui’s southwest coast. Hopefully, guests will get to help reel in a mahi mahi or ono!
Once Strike Zone has reached their fishing destination, the vessel will either drift and then assist guests with their lines. Anglers are invited to keep all the fish they catch bottom fishing. The captain and crew will give you let you know which are the tastiest, and provide tips as to the best way to cook them too! Just be sure to ask.
Strike Zone accommodates up to 16 anglers plus 6 riders on their bottom fishing charters. (22 passengers total), and up to 6 anglers and 6 riders on their sport fishing charters. Prices below include all tax and harbor fees.

Strike Zone Fishing Reviews
5-star boat and crew
Our 4 hour bottomfishing trip on Strike Zone was quite fun. The crew (Junior, Sparky, and Carl) was very helpful and offered advice and assistance very readily.
On the way to the first location, 5 sportfishing lures were trolled behind the boat. I chatted with Junior and he said that the day before was a great day for sportfishing as they caught 11 large sportfish between bottomfishing stops. Yeah, that was the trip we cancelled on due to what we thought were going to be rough seas. Upon seeing a big school of baitfish, Junior took us on a slight detour to see if were could hook up with any gamefish. Sure enough, two of the rods went off and 2 Ono were caught by 2 randomly chosen anglers.
Bottom fishing bites were really, really slow. I think the entire boat kept only 7 bottom fish (I got a large trigger that was not edible and was thrown back, while my son got only a few nibbles).
At the end of the trip, the sportfish were cleaned and we were given a bag with 6 medium-size pieces of Ono to take home.
This was a pretty good trip even on a day when the bite was off. I would recommend this trip to anyone asking.
Reunion on Strike Zone.
Dana and the team were excellent and although the bottom fishing was disappointing we managed to jag two good size Ono\'s on the way out, which fed everyone in our troop of 40 back at the hotel.
great day out!
