Piper

Leaders in Maui marlin fishing

Piper is a 47′ Cabo, owned and operated by Captain Jeff Kahl. She is one of the original sport fishing companies operating out of South Maui’s Maalaea harbor.

While Maui’s charter boat operators don’t usually target any particular species, some captains definitely have their preferences. Capt. Jeff and his crew target billfish. If you’re after Pacific blue marlin, striped marlin (stripers), the rare black marlin or sailfish, Piper is a good choice.

Captain Jeff Kahl is one of Maui’s most experienced sportfishing captains. He holds the record for the largest blue marlin caught on a chartered sport fishing trip. Its replica is on display over his slip at Maalaea harbor. Jeff has fished all over the world, and continues to participate in sport fishing tournaments at various hotspots like Kona, Australia, and Mexico.

Piper features a tuna tower, a huge cockpit with live bait well, 8 tuna tubes (hidden in covering boards), and 2 large fish boxes on the deck with a 600-pound/day ice chipper to fill them. She is the first boat on Maui to be equipped with a Furuno Omni Sonar, giving Piper a significant advantage when it comes to hunting the big ones!! The icing on the cake: she boasts over $25k worth of professional photography gear, aimed to capture the action both above and below the surface.

Piper‘s availability is limited, especially in the summer when they usually leave Maui to fish the tournaments on the Big Island. Call Fish Maui for more availability and to reserve your charter today. 808-344-3520.
