The Makoa Kai catches more fish than any other boat on the island!
Makoa Kai Sportfishing Charters is known as the finest private charter fishing experience on Maui. We focus on customer service and satisfaction, top-of-the-line equipment and the best fishing professionals on the Island. The results of our focus on customer satisfaction and our dedication to serious fishing are easy to measure - our customers catch more fish, and have a better overall fishing experience.
Catch the Fish of a Lifetime!
work for you. That includes your equipment, your crew, your skill and, of course, your luck. It takes more than just having the right mindset.
If you want to bring your own food and beverages, you should obtain it all the night before as there are few stores open in the early morning hours. We can provide a picnic lunch if you so desire that runs about $19 per person.
Each charter is entitled to one fish caught that day. If requested, the crew will fillet and bag the fish. Alternatively, we have made arrangements with the Blue Marlin Restaurant to prepare lunch or dinner for our guests using the fish they caught. The Blue Marlin does a superb job and charges only $12.00 per person for this great service.
