Hinatea Sportfishing

Had a great day on the water with my son and step dad. Hooked the first fish by 6am. The bot was spacious and clean. Worked well for the 6 people who were out that day. 1030 the boat hooked a fish of a lifetime in a blue marlin. Chris and his mate were very knowledgeable throughout the 8 hr trip. I would definitely choose this charter the next time we come back to the island !

My husband and his father were supposed to go fishing with this company this morning and were left sitting on the dock with the rest of the tour. When they contacted the captain he said the prop was fouled up. However others saw him with ice and a different crew ready to go out fishing for the day. Bad bad company to fish with.

Capts. Chris and Sam and the Hinatea crew were absolutely fantastic!! When we arrived at 5am, the boat was ready to leave and we were off. Our full day charter was exactly that with lines in the water almost immediately upon leaving the harbor. Capt. Chris and Sam were first class. They constantly changed our the lures, knowing exactly what fish were where. Once we had some strikes, Capt. Chris kept the boat where the fish were Capt. Sam and Jake made sure my son got them in the boat! Once we got back to the harbor, the crew offered to filet the fish for our dinner. If only we didn't have a flight to catch - next time! Highly recommend and would book again!

I was told that this was the company to choose for Marlin. In reality, I knew it was a long shot. How many times will I have a chance to catch a Marlin in my life? For me, few. I did my research, and this is where I landed. I don’t understand how anyone could not love Chris, Kihei, and Jake. Did I get my Marlin? You bet! 156lbs and almost 8 feet of Marlin. I was so excited. These guys worked their tails off. They changed up strategies, lures, stopped and used live bait at a hot spot for some extra fish. We ended up with 5 Mahi Mahi and 1 amazing Marlin. I ended up with two trophy’s and another friend with me got one for herself. What an amazing experience. I’ve deep sea fished 9 times so I’ve seen the good and the bad but these guys are real professionals. They were fun to talk to, super accommodating, and cut up some Mahi Mahi for dinner for us. Honestly the best fishing experience ever and though I had 5 fishing trips in a row in other places “skunked” as my first 5 efforts, my last 4 have been fantastic and becoming increasingly better! What a highlight of my trip. Do the all day charter - he will be able to go out far enough to get deep and hit the best spots.

Lied to us about being broken down and took other people out the day we were booked.
