A little planning makes a better day.

Private or shared fishing trip?

A private charter reserves the boat for your group within its passenger limit. Shared trips sell individual places. Review the selected charter’s passenger rules and current pricing.

Is a catch guaranteed?

No particular catch or number of fish is guaranteed. Season, conditions and fishing style affect the day. Koloa’s freshwater bass experience is catch-and-release.

Where do we meet?
