Waikiki Deep Sea Fishing Honolulu

Join us for an exciting day of deep sea fishing off Waikiki in blue Hawaiian waters!

The largest fish ever caught on rod and reel, an 1805 lb. blue marlin was caught right here off Honolulu. Not only does Honolulu deep sea fishing offer a chance at a record fish such as this, but also the best opportunities in Hawaii to catch other game fish like mahi mahi, ono, ahi, and skipjack tuna.

We are located at Kewalo Basin, minutes from Waikiki and some of the best natural fishing grounds Hawaii has to offer. Maggie Joe is a 53 foot custom sportfisher designed especially for sportfishing in Hawaiian waters. Powered by a pair of 375 HP Caterpillar diesels, Maggie Joe features a spacious cockpit and bridge, fully air-conditioned cabin, complete entertainment center and a full galley. Maggie Joe is a US Coast Guard inspected and certified vessel and is very well maintained.

With a success rate exceeding 95% and over three generations of fishing experience in Hawaiian waters, we believe we can provide anglers the best opportunity to catch a trophy fish. Maggie Joe's largest fish is a 1277 lb. blue marlin, the second largest fish ever caught out of Kewalo Basin.

Maggie Joe consistently ranks among the top charter boats chosen by team participants in the prestigious Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. Captain Mike DeRego has over thirty years experience as a licensed captain and thirty years of fishing in Hawaii. Our fleet has three well-maintained, luxury vessels available daily including, Maggie Joe, Sea Hawk and Ruckus.

For three generations, catching fish has been our livelihood and we want our customers to enjoy the experience and excitement of fishing as much as we do.
