An Exclusive Boat for Your Group

A private charter means the boat is reserved entirely for your party. No other groups are added to the trip, and you do not have to share the experience with strangers. Every seat, rod, and hour on the water belongs to your group.

This gives the captain and crew more freedom to focus on your experience. First-time anglers can receive more instruction, while experienced anglers can spend more time working the tackle.

A private charter also makes it easier to celebrate, take photos, and spend time offshore without coordinating around another party. If you are still comparing trip types, learn more about our Oahu charter boats and available fishing options.

Private Charter Options

Oahu Charter Sport Fishing offers three private charter lengths. The right choice depends on your schedule, the experience level of your group, and how much time you want to spend offshore.

Private Half-Day Charter

The private half-day charter is a four-hour trip. Departure options are available at 6:00 a.m. and noon, making this the easiest charter to fit into a busy Oahu itinerary.

A half-day trip is practical for first-time anglers, families, and groups that want an offshore experience without committing most of the day.

Private Three-Quarter-Day Charter

The private three-quarter-day charter is a six-hour trip departing at 6:00 a.m. The additional two hours provide more time to cover water, change bait, and work promising areas without feeling as rushed.

This option balances the convenience of a half-day with more time offshore.

Private Full-Day Charter

The private full-day charter is scheduled for eight hours and departs at 6:00 a.m. This is the best option for groups that want to devote the day to deep-sea fishing and give the captain more time to locate productive water.

A full day may provide opportunities to target marlin, tuna, mahi mahi, and ono when conditions allow. No charter can guarantee a catch.

Everything You Need for the Trip

You do not need to purchase or rent fishing equipment before your charter. Arrive ready to fish.

Your private charter includes:

  • All fishing gear, including rods, reels, lines, lures, and terminal tackle
  • Bait selected and rigged for the target species and conditions
  • Ice for the trip
  • Fishing licenses covered by the charter
  • GPS, fishfinder, and required safety equipment
  • Guidance from a crew familiar with Oahu’s offshore waters and fishing regulations

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, soft-soled shoes, and any food or drinks you would like during the trip. Anyone prone to motion sickness should consider taking the appropriate medication before departure.

Private Charters for Groups and Celebrations

The entire boat is reserved for your party, making a private charter suitable for celebrations, reunions, and group outings.

Private charters are a popular option for:

  • Bachelor parties looking for a memorable morning offshore
  • Anniversaries and couples celebrating an important occasion
  • Family reunions that bring several generations together
  • Corporate events and team outings outside the usual meeting space
  • Birthday celebrations for anglers and first-time fishermen
  • Families and friends who want to enjoy the boat together

Tell us your group size, experience level, and occasion when you call so we can recommend a charter length.

How to Book a Private Charter

To book a private charter, reserve the entire boat for your group and preferred date. Choose a half-day, three-quarter-day, or full-day trip, then confirm the departure time and details with Oahu Charter Sport Fishing.

A shared charter works differently. Instead of reserving the boat, each guest books an individual place and fishes with other parties. Shared trips can reduce the cost per person, but the boat’s time, rods, and fishing opportunities are divided among everyone aboard. Shared charters carry a maximum of six passengers and require at least four confirmed guests to depart.

Choose private when privacy, flexibility, or a special occasion matters most. A shared charter may suit one or two anglers with flexible schedules.

Call (808) 234-9426 with your preferred dates, group size, and trip length. We will explain the options and help you choose between a private and shared fishing charter.

No previous fishing experience is required. The crew can show your group how to use the tackle, set the drag, and fight a fish. Experienced anglers can also take a more hands-on role during the trip.

Depending on the season, conditions, and charter length, your group may target blue marlin, striped marlin, short-bill marlin, ahi and other tuna, mahi mahi, and ono. Longer trips provide more time offshore, but no fishing charter can guarantee a catch.

Reserve as early as possible when booking for a holiday, birthday, bachelor party, or other group occasion. A private booking holds the entire boat for one date, so availability may become limited.
