About Your Trip

Chase Big Pelagics with Captain Matt – Deep Sea Fishing from Haleiwa, Oahu

Ready to hook into some of the biggest and most powerful game fish in the Pacific? Join Captain Matt for an adrenaline-pumping offshore adventure out of Haleiwa Harbor, where the waters run deep and the fish run big. These private pelagic-focused charters are built for anglers who want to go beyond the reef and target legendary species like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo (Ono), Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), and Pacific Blue Marlin.

Whether you book the 5-hour or 8-hour trip, you’ll be heading offshore to work the North Shore’s fish aggregation buoys (FADs)—where live bait and trolling tactics attract Hawaii’s most sought-after pelagic predators. Captain Matt’s trips are hands-on, high-energy, and dialed in. If you’re looking to fish hard and feel like part of the crew, this is the charter for you.

5-Hour Pelagic Charter

This half-day trip is all about moving fast and fishing smart. You’ll start by catching live bait nearshore, then make the 12+ mile run to the FADs. Once you’re offshore, Captain Matt will set up trolling spreads using outriggers and live bait to target fast-moving fish like Mahi, Ono, Ahi, and Marlin. Expect bumpy water and big action—it’s the perfect trip for anglers who want maximum excitement in a tighter window.

8-Hour Pelagic Charter

If you’re serious about chasing Hawaii’s apex game fish, this full-day option gives you the time to cover more ground, work multiple FADs, and increase your shot at landing a true trophy. With more time on the water, you’ll be able to adjust tactics, explore different depths, and chase the bite wherever it’s happening. From monster Yellowfin to screaming Wahoo runs, this is offshore fishing at its finest.

What You’re Fishing For:

Mahi Mahi (Dolphin)

Ono (Wahoo)

Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna)

Pacific Blue Marlin

Striped Marlin

Shortbill Spearfish

Sailfish (seasonal)

Bigeye & Blackfin Tuna (seasonal)

What’s Included:

Captain Matt provides everything you need—top-quality trolling rods, live bait setups, outriggers, GPS, fishfinder, and safety gear. Bottled water is onboard to keep you cool. All you need to bring is sun protection, snacks in non-glass containers, and a camera to capture the action. Please note: no bananas or glass allowed onboard.

These are high-impact, true Hawaiian sportfishing experiences where you’re not just watching—you’re part of the hunt. Whether you’re looking to cross a Pacific pelagic off your list or just want to test your skills against some of the ocean’s toughest fish, Captain Matt is here to make it happen.

Book your trip today and send it offshore for big fish, big fights, and an epic day on the North Shore.
