Help keep Maui’s fishing fleet afloat.
We have created two lists of possible donation recipients, the first list features GoFundMe campaigns and venmo accounts specifically for the Lahaina charter boat companies, their captains, and crews. This gets money directly into the hands of specific individuals, families, and businesses. The second is a short list of long-standing, local 501(c)(3) organizations with proven track records.
FISHERMEN’S GOFUNDME / VENMO ACCOUNTS
These guys really need your help. If you fished with any of these people in the past, and have fond memories of your time in Maui, show them some aloha and help them get back on their feet. If you know of another charter boat/company that would like to be listed here, please reach contact us.

MAUI FISHING CHARTERS (future and existing bookings)
MAUI IS STILL OPEN (Just not West Maui)
If you are holding an existing reservation for fishing in Maui, please check your departure location. If you were leaving from Lahaina Harbor, it is safe to assume your reservation is canceled for the foreseeable future. If your charter was out of Mala Boat Ramp (north of Lahaina), or Kaanapali, operators likely won’t be available for a while, but reach out to us and we can check on it for you. If you’re booked on a boat out of Maalaea or South Maui, your reservation is likely still active.
We are currently accepting reservations for most boats out of Maalaea and South Maui. Please call us to go over your options should you plan to visit Maui in the near future. 808-344-3520.
