Fishing Charters in Honolulu County, Hawaii

Captain Jim and his deckhand Brandon absolutely crushed it! We booked a 10-hour trip and they turned it into 12 hours because Jim wasn’t happy with the bite and refused to quit. Non-stop effort, constant moves, and zero give-up attitude. Walked off with ~6 small bigeye tuna, a 120 lb blue marlin of a lifetime, and one big mahi that got sharked at the gaff (classic offshore robbery). Hands-down one of the hardest-working crews I’ve ever fished with. If you want captains who actually care about putting you on fish, book Captain Jim and his crew!

Before going on our family vacation to Haleiwa, I started researching fishing charters, mostly for ones that would let you keep part of your catch. It’s tough to come by because the costs for these guys is pretty high. I came across the Pamela Pearl, and after looking at photos and talking to Captain Chris Freed, I decided to go with them. Between him and Jay, we were very well informed as to what to expect in terms of fishing and seas. Going out to the spot, we stopped and loaded up on bait fish, and began trolling from there out. My brother in law lost a marlin and I landed a mahi pretty early. Once we got to the spot, it was very apparent these guys know what’s up. They had us on fish pretty quickly, some decent sized yellow-fin. Then we saw the marlin, 30’ from the boat and following the big bait. They played that marlin great, and got him to take, and the fight was on. Jay and Captain Freed were great. Captain Freed piloted the boat to make landing this fish possible and Jay was a huge asset in coaching. Afterward we had a big yellow-fin on but the hook pulled. These guys know how to get you on the fish. Will 100% book again next time we come to Hawaii.

Captain Eric and Brennan are awesome. Took the time to cover as much ground as possible and changed lures to help catch fish. 190lbs Marlin and a 50lbs wahoo. Great day on the boat.

My family and I rented a beautiful charter from captain ken and Ty for my birthday on New Year’s Eve. There was 9 of us and plenty of space on the beautiful boat. It was a gorgeous day and everyone said it was their favorite part of the trip. He even had food and drinks aboard , paddle boards, and snorkel equipment. We hung out on the front nets and had a beautiful sunset as well. I highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for an amazing and wonderful experience in Oahu :)
