Your Captains
Head Captain James
Captain James was born and raised in Florida where he grew up catching bass from his canoe and fly fishing for trout in Vermont. As an adult, he pursued offshore fishing regularly fishing tournaments out of Port Canaveral, Sebastian Inlet, and Ft. Pierce. He moved to Hawaii in 1989 where he matriculated two Masters degrees.
He has over 25 years of experience fishing in Hawaiian waters and delivers sailing yachts across the state of Hawaii. His addiction to bill fishing is acute and shared by his five-year-old daughter.
Captain Joe O’neill
Captain Joe has been fishing ever since he can remember starting in the streams and ponds around the small farm where he was born in Southern New Jersey (South Jersey). Captain Joe’s family moved to Maryland and lived on the Patuxent River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay during his junior high school years. He spent every spare moment catching Blue Claw Crabs and fishing for Stripped Bass.
Captain Joe spent his high school years in Meridian Mississippi where he did some fishing for Big Mouth Bass and Catfish but admits during those years, he was more interested in the young ladies and hot rod cars. Captain Joe arrived in Hawaii just a few months after graduating from high school. After a couple of years of surfing, he returned to his fishing. First from the shore then a small boat to just get out a little further in hopes of getting that bigger one. It didn’t take long, and he was into deep sea fishing for those monster Marlin and Tuna he had dreamed about catching since he was a young boy.
“I have always enjoyed fishing and meeting people. As a Charter Boat Captain, I’m able to meet new people plus show them a good time fishing. Living my dream!”
