September 18, 2025

Doc and George were exceptionally caring, welcoming, and knowledgeable throughout our trip. Our group included two young kids and two seniors, and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. They shared fascinating insights about the different fish we encountered, explaining which ones we could keep and which needed to be released. My son loved the experience so much that we asked to extend the trip, and Doc and George graciously accommodated us. The kids are already eager to return, and we absolutely will. A heartfelt thank you to Doc and George for an unforgettable adventure!

September 18, 2025

An incredible experience! Captain Doc was just as thrilled to get us on the fish as we were, and we fished right up until the very last moment.

September 18, 2025

Captain Doc and First Mate George are outstanding fishermen! In just two hours, we caught 26 snappers and came close to reaching our limit. They even set us up to catch a shark. It was an amazing day on the water!

September 18, 2025

Fantastic trip! They took some inexperienced kids fishing and patiently taught them the basics. Extremely helpful and encouraging throughout.

September 18, 2025

Our family had an amazing day on the water with Doc and George. They were a pleasure to spend the day with, making sure everyone caught fish and had a fantastic time. They were especially great with my son and daughter, creating a memorable experience for all of us. If we're ever in the area again, we’ll definitely book with Kekoa. Thanks, Doc!

September 18, 2025

I highly recommend this charter to anyone! My son’s dream was to catch a Mahi Mahi, and Doc and Georgie made it come true—everyone in our group caught one! We also had a nervous daughter on board, and Georgie did an amazing job talking to her and helping her feel more at ease. It was an unforgettable experience! Thank you, Doc and Georgie. We’ll definitely be back!
