Captain Mike was great. We had a wonderful day and had good luck we caught a striped marlin
Best day of fishing on the island..captain Mike and first mate Sean are an amazing crew! The ship was pristine, and we caught Mahi Mahi, Yellow Fin Tuna, Hawaiian Salmon (Rainbow Runner) and Ono (wahoo)…highly recommend! They greeted us in the morning bright and early, the boat was clean and the crew were friendly. Despite the ocean being choppy, they made sure that we got out to the Penguin Banks west of Molikai to catch some great fish. The crew were friendly, fun and knew where to find the catch, although my parents were here visiting me and I may not have gone deep sea fishing otherwise, I had so much fun I am going to plan on going again and with this crew! They were able to schedule us with only a days notice for a full day trip. I really can’t say enough good things about them. First Mate Sean filleted all the fish after the trip perfectly and we brought home tons of fish and the boat kept half as well. Really amazing day! amazing crew! If you are looking for the best service, clean ship and fun experience then Whipsaw is definitely for you!
The captain and deckhand on the Whipsaw gave me my best deep sea fishing trip yet. the crew is highly knowledgeable and knew how to bring the fish in the boat. They also were very sociable and made me feel comfortable. A productive day catching 6 mahi mahi, and 1 small tuna. A definite 5 star rating, thanks
Crazy awesome day of fishing with Mr. Duffey. Caught more fish than expected and had fun along the way. Staff worked hard, changing lures and putting us on fish. Resulted in multiple big tuna, not like the smaller charters produce, big ones.
A great day out, & a very professional & experienced crew !
Fun trip!! Would definitely go again! Super knowledgeable, friendly, optimistic and good vibes all around!!
Will and his crew (Thomas & Nate) did a fantastic job showing us a great time while making sure everyone stayed safe. They were very professional but just as enthusiastic as we were when we hooked into fish. It was a great day catching a bunch of fish! Couldn’t believe I got to land a spearfish!
Went out on a 4 hour afternoon private charter with Whipsaw Sportfishing and was very happy with the crew and the accomodations. Captain Will and Tom were very well prepared for our journey. Within the first hour we had a Yellow Fin Tuna in the boat. By the second hour we landed a Mahi Mahi. Captain Will and Tom were very accomodating to all our needs and put us on some fish. He even cleaned our catch for us. We didnt know this wasnt the norm since everywhere we have fished in the past, this was a given. We found out later that most Captains in Hawaii keep the catch for themselves. We did have a bit of a challenge finding a restuarant to cook them for us, so be sure to plan for a cookout on the beach if you do keep your catch. These guys were awesome. Definitely recommend and will use again next time in Oahu. Thank you Captain Will and Tom for a fun afternoon on the water. It was the highlight of our trip.
Captain James came through! I had friends visiting from the mainland and booked the Whipsaw because they have one of the best catch rates for Honolulu charter boats. Captain James gave a safety orientation and then we were underway. 1st mate Nate gave an awesome fishing orientation that included info for the novice & experienced fisherman. The trend for the week we went was that most boats weren’t catching so I prepared my mainland friends for possibly a long boat ride. However Captain James brought us into one of the largest aku piles I had ever seen. Along with four other boats, we worked the pile but unfortunately they weren’t biting but what an amazing site to get to witness. Even if we didn’t hook up, I was already satisfied. Over the course of the day we had two knockdowns, one of which was marlin and 1st mate Nate aggressively reeled and free spooled to see if the marlin would give us a second chance to hook up but it just didn’t happen. Towards the end of the day we decided to run the 40 fathom ledge heading back to dock to see if we could catch an ono. Much to our surprise we ended up hooking up and landing a 20 pound yellowfin tuna. A very happy ending for a full day of fishing. The crew cleaned the fish so there was sashimi for everyone. I have been on many charter boats but in all my years, the Whipsaw is one of the nicest boats with a very hospitable crew. I booked their boat two other times and fished with Captain Will & 1st mate Tom and they as well are true professionals. On top of it all, the air conditioned cabin is a nice treat to beat the heat. I will definitely book the Whipsaw in the future.
What a WONDERFUL experience. Captain Will and Tom made our morning trip exactly what we were hoping for.
Calm atmosphere while being personable, educational and enjoying some laughs. We had a few bites but ended our day catching a good sized Ono which made our day!!
I will say Will and Tom went above and beyond- we discussed fishing traditions, life stories, points of interest for our vacation as well as different ways to cook/eat our catch!
I believe they went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our charter experience as well as leaving with a fond, memorable experience.
10/10 would recommend to friends/family/ strangers they were just that great.
Will & Tom are an awesome team- if you’re lucky enough to book them, then you’re very lucky indeed.
Mahalo!
Had a great time fishing 8 hours on a private charter 2 different days during our vacation. Captain Will did a great job finding fish for us. Deck hands were amazing at helping us with the fish along with marking sure we were comfortable and answering any questions we had throughout our day. Would definitely book with them again.
Excellent day, and thanks from both of us. Highly recommend

Great morning with Will and Tom! They worked hard for us and hooked 2 fish. Saw dolphins and whales as an extra treat. They fileted the fish for us and made a great dinner. So glad we chose Whipsaw for our fishing trip
Such a fun day!! Everything was perfect. We had the best crew and caught a Mahi Mahi and Marlin. It was relaxing and thrilling all at once.
Fishing on the Whipsaw was such a blast! The crew were super nice and helped me catch my first 60 pounder. Definitely will be fishing with these guys next time I come to hawaii.

What a day with Captain James and Nate! This was an experience of a lifetime. The crew was amazing. James and Nate were professional, personable and experts in their trade. We caught a beautiful yellowfin and would go back out again in a heartbeat. Whipsaw Sportfishing is the real deal!

I have been on a few charters before, but this one was exceptional. Very clean cabin and very nice crew. We came back with my first marlin with my father loosing another which was roughly 120lb, despite this the rest of the boats couldn’t get a bite. One of the best days of my life.
Captain Mike and first mate Tom took good care of our party of 6. The boat was super clean and the crewed worked hard at making sure we were in the fish and having a good time! We caught two dorado and 5 tuna !! Very friendly outfit! We left happy. Thank you Whipsaw Fishing!!!
Whipsaw did not disappoint! Tom was an amazing first mate and hustled to keep our lines in the fish! Captain Mike knew the spots and we slayed all day! 100% will be back! Best day fishing in Hawaii money can buy!

Captain Will is great at the helm! Very safe and skilled. Will also knows how to catch fish! His crew are very fish savvy and skilled on deck handling the rods like pro’s. This crew is young, enthusiastic, and super respectful and friendly.
Oh! Yes! This boat finds fish. 4 clients caught 8 tuna, 1 Marlin and one spearfish.
We had an awesome time. I would definitely recommend using these guys! We got a huge fish!

Awesome guys who love to fish. Landed a super rare Hawaiian sailfish.
I would highly recommend Whipsaw sportfishing… My 14 year old son and i went out with Will and Tom and caught a couple mahi mahi and sharks… But the day was slow overall and the guys had to really work for the bites. I appreciated the professionalism and passion for their craft. It was obvious that they were doing everything they could to put us on fish. Slow days on the water are what separates good crews from the ok crews. These guys stayed upbeat and positive the entire time and made us feel very welcome, Ive done a few charters in multiple locations and these guys were the best by far.

Will and Tom, Hands down, 110% best charter I’ve ever been on. 3 for 3 on blue marlin (release the one that we could safely release). If you don’t understand what 3for3 on blue marlin means, then You need to Fish more. Can’t pay for an experience like Will and Tom produce. I run a small fishing boat out of San Diego, and been on 20+ Sportfishing charters and these dudes are by far the best out there. Only boat I’ll recommending Oahu.
Will and his crew (Thomas & Nate) did a fantastic job showing us a great time while making sure everyone stayed safe. They were very professional but just as enthusiastic as we were when we hooked into fish. It was a great day catching a bunch of fish! Couldn’t believe I got to land a spearfish!
Didn’t know what to expect since it was my first time on a fishing charter. Captain James was amazing and helped to explain everything before we got under way. The crew were so helpful and explained how everything would work once we hooked up to a fish. Shortly after the tutorial we hooked up to a striped marlin on the way out. After a good battle, we already had one fish on board and it was even 7:30am!! Pretty great start to the day. Captain James also did a great job of pointing out dolphins, pilot whales and other animals during the charter for phot opportunities. He also frequently found huge “piles” of birds which apparently are the tell-tale signs of fish at the surface.
During the charter, we caught a striped marlin and a skipjack tuna. Totally fun times and I’ll definitely be booking with Captain James again. What a great time for my first experience!
Captain James came through! I had friends visiting from the mainland and booked the Whipsaw because they have one of the best catch rates for Honolulu charter boats. Captain James gave a safety orientation and then we were underway. 1st mate Nate gave an awesome fishing orientation that included info for the novice & experienced fisherman. The trend for the week we went was that most boats weren’t catching so I prepared my mainland friends for possibly a long boat ride. However Captain James brought us into one of the largest aku piles I had ever seen. Along with four other boats, we worked the pile but unfortunately they weren’t biting but what an amazing site to get to witness. Even if we didn’t hook up, I was already satisfied. Over the course of the day we had two knockdowns, one of which was marlin and 1st mate Nate aggressively reeled and free spooled to see if the marlin would give us a second chance to hook up but it just didn’t happen. Towards the end of the day we decided to run the 40 fathom ledge heading back to dock to see if we could catch an ono. Much to our surprise we ended up hooking up and landing a 20 pound yellowfin tuna. A very happy ending for a full day of fishing. The crew cleaned the fish so there was sashimi for everyone. I have been on many charter boats but in all my years, the Whipsaw is one of the nicest boats with a very hospitable crew. I booked their boat two other times and fished with Captain Will & 1st mate Tom and they as well are true professionals. On top of it all, the air conditioned cabin is a nice treat to beat the heat. I will definitely book the Whipsaw in the future.
What a WONDERFUL experience. Captain Will and Tom made our morning trip exactly what we were hoping for.
Calm atmosphere while being personable, educational and enjoying some laughs. We had a few bites but ended our day catching a good sized Ono which made our day!!
I will say Will and Tom went above and beyond- we discussed fishing traditions, life stories, points of interest for our vacation as well as different ways to cook/eat our catch!
I believe they went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our charter experience as well as leaving with a fond, memorable experience.
10/10 would recommend to friends/family/ strangers they were just that great.
Will & Tom are an awesome team- if you’re lucky enough to book them, then you’re very lucky indeed.
Mahalo!
Captain James and his first mates Tom and Isaac were awesome! Half day charter. Brought in a blue marlin and had great day on water. Will do it again! #Whipsaw1
Excellent day, and thanks from both of us. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic time, the weather was picture perfect. Sean and Micheal were great and the striped marly was a blast landing.
First time on an offshore charter and what a great day.
Much thanks to Skipper Mike and Crew, Bob.
9 Ono & 2 Wahi Wahi and everybody caught fish.
Certainly good value and we will do this again on our next trip.
