Stand-up sport fishing, Maui Hawaii
The 33′ Boston Whaler Outrage “Social Distancing” operates seasonal whale-watching tours, sunset cruises, and Maui sport fishing charters. Departing daily from Lahaina Harbor, Maui Hawaii, this nearly new center console vessel is the ideal choice for anglers and adventurers in search of a challenge. This is stand-up fishing at its best.
Full-day fishing charters leave the dock at 4 am, so be prepared to board around 3:45 am. Six-hour (3/4 day) trips usually leave an hour later. We encourage people to book a full-day trip whenever possible. That gives you plenty of time to work Maui’s most productive waters!
Depending on the weather, most fishing trips involve a 20-35 mile run offshore to one of Maui’s Fish Aggregation Devices, or “FADs”. Using a combination of live bait, dead bait, and trolling lures, fast-moving pelagic game fish such as mahi-mahi (dorado), yellowfin and big eye tuna (ahi), striped and blue marlin, spearfish, and an occasional ono (wahoo) can be found. Fish caught usually range in size from 9 to over 40 lbs. The trolling trip back to Lahaina is always different. En route, the crew will point out any dolphins, whales, and other marine life you might be lucky enough to come across.Â
Center console (aka CC’s) fishing is sometimes a bit more of an adventure than the cabin sportfishing boats. “CC’s” are open to the elements and they often fish in wind and waves that spray water on guests. We recommend that you dress appropriately to enjoy this unique experience.
While the vessel is licensed for up to 6 guests, Social Distancing limits groups to no more than 4 on fishing charters for comfort and safety.
