We tried but we’re not successful. We saw plenty of whales breaching but it was a fishing charter.
Lousy experience, NO BAIT, cooler filled with warm water and slimy bottled water. Went out for 4 hrs at $850 and none of us got to use a fishing pole. Best part is after my first review i got a call from Ryan at Ocean Adventures. He called to give me excuses and cuss me out for the bad review. So RYAN i made sure to send a second review and let everyone know what a nice guy you are to the customers that support your business. I would give a 0 star if that was an option.
I have been on 17 charter fishing trips in total and this one was the worst by far. I should also say I know it’s fishing and not catching and I always leave the dock knowing we may not catch anything. This one is a SCAM

There are so many inaccuracies with your review. I don’t even know where to start. You wrote me and said you had a few issues with your trip and then if I wanted to “ make it, right” to give you a call. Which I did because I care about my clients, and want to make sure they have a good time while out on our boats. As soon as I was able to start explaining how bait is caught, etc. you cut me off and told me I was just making excuses . I soon realized you are the type of person who will never be satisfied with whatever experience, however good it is. We upgraded you for free($200 value), to our larger boat which has brand new engines, new, upholstery, new stereo, and new electronics. And you give us a one out of five rating for the boat? It just shows how unreasonable of a human being you are. You actually caught fish on your trip but said you didn’t. If you had caught a 20 pound tuna you wouldn’t Have been satisfied with that, if you had caught a 50 pound tuna, or 100 pound tuna, you wouldn’t have been satisfied with that either. We have done hundreds of charters through Fishingbooker with very satisfied customers. But occasionally there’s always a guest who will never be satisfied, no matter what you do. I am an extremely reasonable human being, but with you, there is no reasoning. so good luck to you sir In the future with whatever you. Thanks and aloha!

(Note: my wife & I are both closing in on 80) I chose HOAT out of Haleiwa so my wife could realize her bucket-list wish to go deep sea fishing. “Youngsters” & boat mates Kelly and TJ were great hosts - and now friends - and did their jobs well. As it was March 23, we fished in winter seas so we bounced around a lot and got soaked. And, shucks, we didn’t even catch a bite [never mind, a fish is never the reason to go on a fishing charter.] If we were to go fishing in winter again, we would probably opt for a larger boat. But come summer, we’d love to go out with HOAT again.

We had an awesome time. Jimmy hooked a large fish but it shook the hook. Unfortunately it was our only bite. The entire trip is memory we will never forget. Danny was an awesome Captain. Piece of advice, if you want to go fishing book with this business. Great time, great memories, awesome adventure. Mahalo.
Dan did a great job getting us into fish when conditions were less than ideal.
He was determined to get us a bite, and he certainly delivered!
