Second time using this charter service because they're AWESOME!…read moreWe were out last week (original date canceled due to conditions) and it was great. Alex - and I can't recall the other guys name - are great guys who know what they're doing. Caught some fish; wish we would've been able to have it cooked for us, but we didn't plan ahead with the nearby restaurant. We weren't staying at a place with a kitchen so we couldn't cook it and left it to share with others on the boat.

SCAM/FRAUD!!! STOLE $1050…read more We had gone back and forth for a few weeks figuring out dates for a fish trip. I was specific I wanted a kayak trip. He assured me that we would not only see bonefish but would also catch them. So finally after settling on a date, I booked and paid for a trip on Dec 21st through Zelle per his request to confirm trip on Dec 22nd. After I paid on 21st, I called Jon Jon to figure out the plan for the following day at which time he asked to switch the guide trip to Dec 24, which I agreed to. On the 23rd before the trip he told me when and where to meet on the 24th. The morning of the 24th he confirmed the time for that day then shortly later he changed the time to about an hour later. No problem for us. Then about 1.5hrs after that, before our trip, he texted and then called me that he had to cancel the trip because he said he was sick but assured me (in text and on phone) he would refund my money. Have called and texted numerous times but he's totally ghosting me - crickets. Filed fraud claims with my bank and will pursue all other legal options to protect others. After the trip, I happened to talked to other fishing locals and guides that I happened to run it on Maui and Kauai and they didn't have positive things to say about him. Interesting enough, shortly before my planned trip on Dec 22nd, his website went down. Could it be because he needs to reboot with a new company and change his name?

This is the only snorkeling business I would recommend in Maui. Not because the others are bad but…read morebecause Seafire is so exceptional. Several reasons: 1. Their location at Kihei Boat Ramp in South Maui means that you have an extra hour in the water so you can make one more stop compared to the other snorkeling charters who leave from further away and you spend most of the time going and coming vs in the water. 2. Their guides are so good, respectful, fun and full of knowledge about the underwater things you'll be seeing. 3. Their raft holds 12 people (I think) so it's much more intimate. This was worth every penny. You'll never forget when you first drop into the warm Maui waters and the incredible underwater sights you'll see. Make sure to book well in advance.

The longtime keeper of the Maui Fish Pond is Uncle Kimokeo, he is a life long Maui resident who has dedicated himself to preserving the Fish Pond for future generations. You see the Fish Pond was built in the 1600's to create a safe haven for the local fish to spawn and grow. Uncle Kimokeo has maintained the Fish Pond walls using stone high atop Haleakala rebuilding the wall stone by stone. Uncle Kimokeo says he's is entrusted to preserve the Pond and the culture. To listen to him explain all the cultural lore was amazing. He took us out on a Double hull Canoe north and basically had the whole boats singing and chanting Hawaiian songs giving thanks for the permission on the water. The Maui Fish Pond takes out groups daily by appointment for a donation 69.00, consider your donation as a write off as the foundation is a non profit corp. these monies supports all of the upkeep, programs and Youth programs the foundations supports. Contact the Maui Fish Pond association and give back to your local hosts. This was an awesome way to emerge myself in the community.

Fantastic time! We went fishing with Captain Kamal and Deckhand Chad in late April. We booked a 6…read morehour private charter with them and loved every minute. This type of fishing is challenging in that its a big big ocean and its not easy to find the fish. That being said, we had a really really great day! It started off slow but the water conditions were phenomenal, allowing us to get ~40 miles off shore into 6000 feet deep water. We brought in a couple small yellowfin tuna and then everything else turned on! Our day finished with 5 small yellowfin tuna, 1 medium sized yellowfin, and then 1 larger (nearly ahi) yellowfin tuna, 2 skipjacks, an Ono or Wahoo, and the highly sought after short-nosed bill spearfish! Kamal and Chad were both awesome and I feel that I need to describe Kamal as an addict to fishing. The dude wants to land fish and he will try whatever he can to get you there. The boat is comfortable and the length of it helps provide for a smooth ride on the sea. I highly recommend Rascal Charters to fisher-men and women as well as those who don't really no what they are doing around a fishing pole. We had several newbies with us and they all were able to land fish on our trip. Check them out when you are in Maui!

This is a bit of a tough review to write. As I fully understand that fishing can be hit or miss,…read morebut it's a tough pill to swallow that next to nothing is caught between 13 people over the course of 6 hours. In total there were 6 keepable fish caught, and maybe another 4 or 5 that had to be thrown back. There were zero sport fish caught. Me and one other person in my party ended up catching 1 fish each. But man were they the two most expensive fish I've ever paid for (as the cost for the trip was nearly $300 a person). The ship was very clean, and drinks and snacks were included, which I hadn't expected. They also provided sunscreen, though I'd brought my own they stated spray on sunscreen wasn't allowed. Which they really should have advertised so I didn't waste my money. The crew was also very friendly and helpful (though when catching fish they really didn't provide an opportunity to get pictures with them. They very quickly took the fish off the hook and put it in a bucket) This was unfortunately a one timer for me. I'm glad I did it though

They have been operating in Maui for a long time and know where the fish are. Everyone is friendly and passionate about fishing. The crew hustled the entire trip and did an awesome job cleaning the fish we caught. Would highly recommend for a reasonable cost group charter.
