Action Sportfishing

Maui sport fishing and custom fishing charters

Action Sportfishing is a 35′ Cabo owned & operated by one of Maui’s most experienced fishing captains. She currently departs from Ma’alaea Harbor. Action offers a blend of comfort and functionality. The vessel features a large bridge, lots of seating within the cabin, and a clean & modern toilet. Gear includes outriggers, GPS & sonar, and a range of heavy to light gear (80s down to 25s). Action accepts up to 6 guests. Regular departure time is between 5:30 – 6:00 am, 7-days a week.

FULL-DAY (8-hour) Sportfishing Charters

8-hour trips will focus on sport fishing farther offshore, targeting mahi mahi (dorado), and ono (wahoo), yellowfin tuna (ahi), and marlin. Private charters can be customized to include inshore fishing as well. If conditions allow, you’ll be headed for one or more of Maui’s FAD’s (Fish Aggregation Devices) where large schools frequently gather. This is stand-up sport fishing. Action does not have a fighting chair. This allows for more space on the back deck – an important plus when you have multiple fish hooked at the same time! Captain Jon enjoys using live bait whenever possible. Dead bait and artificial lures are also used. Shared charters require a minimum of 4 people for full confirmation. Until that time charters are considered tentative and subject to cancellation. If that occurs Fish Maui will contact you, offering suitable alternatives if they exist.

3/4 DAY (6-hour) Sportfishing and Combo Fishing Charters

Action Sportfishing’s 6-hour custom charters are able to provide a more varied fishing experience compared to your typical 6-hour Maui sport fishing trip. They often involve a combination of both inshore, lighter tackle fishing as well as offshore trolling. The best time for this kind of trip is during the fall and winter months when the bite tends to fluctuate between inshore and offshore, but it can be productive during the spring and summer too. Live bait, cut bait, jigging and artificial lures are all used. Depending on the season, you may be targeting the larger predatory reef fish like uku (gray snapper), ulua (giant trevally), kahala (amberjack), mahi mahi, and ono. Private Charters only.

Action Sportfishing’s half-day charter is recommended for families with school-aged children (8-12), as well as people who may not be comfortable going farther offshore.
