About Your Trip

Join Captain Mark for an unforgettable fishing experience off the coast of Kalaoa, where the target is big Yellowfin and Marlin. Captain Mark is serious about catching trophy-sized fish, so don't expect to go after smaller species like Mahi Mahi or Wahoo. Instead, you'll be reeling in massive gamefish like giant Yellowfin Tuna and big Blue Marlin, which put up an impressive fight and are known for their aerial displays.

Hawaii is home to deep
waters that are just a short, 15-minute ride offshore. This means that you won't have to spend hours on a boat to get to the prime fishing waters. In fact, thousands of feet of water can be reached within minutes, where you can target trophy gamefish.

Captain Mark's trip includes everything you need for a successful day of fishing: fishing licenses, tackle, bait, fish cleaning and packaging, and coolers filled with ice. Plus, you'll even receive complimentary photos and videos of your trip. All of the gear on board is of the highest quality, with Shimano reels and IGFA-qualified rods and tackles. If you're looking to catch the trophy of a lifetime, Captain Mark is the man for the job!
