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! Read More

  • ★★★★★
    Dale and his deckhand were extremely professional, my father is an older gentleman that is not very mobile, they went above and beyond and accommodating for him, and my son caught his first blue marlin!!!!! They were wonderful and I’m looking forward to another day on the ocean with him tomorrow, if it was anything like today, it will be a day to remember

    Capt. Dale and first mate Jack were great. The 31’ Bertram was clean and spacious and ran smooth as can be, and the canopy came in handy on a Sunny day. While the Marlin fishing was slow (listening to the radio, none of the boats in the tournament caught), we couldn’t have had a better time swapping stories with Dale and Jack, downing some Big Island brews, taking in the scenery, and watching whales breach. Hope to do it again soon! -Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Everying as promised. If you want a fishing experience captain Dale is your man. We had an amazing day and Dale and Jack took care of us. Can't say enough about the experience and we had ages 8 to 80 involved. Great times.
