Hinatea Sportfishing offers deep-sea fishing charters on the island of Maui Hawaii Monday – Friday. We’re after the big ones: AHI (yellowfin and big-eye tuna), ONO (wahoo), MAHI MAHI (dorado, dolphin), and BILLFISH (striped marlin, blue marlin, short-nosed spearfish). Our fishing methods include trolling with artificial lures, dead bait, and live bait when possible. Our live baitwell is very effective! We can keep fish active and ready for rigging for a couple of days at a time!
Hinatea III leaves Ma’alaea Harbor between 5:00 – 5:30am depending on the season and bite. Minimum age on shared charters is 12. Minimum age of 8 on privates, though older is recommended.
PRIVATE CHARTERS
Private charters means you and your group (up to 6 total) have the boat, captain, and crew all to yourselves. Private charters tend to be more intimate. Less regimented. They offer flexibility. Oh yeah… you won’t have to share a portion of the day’s catch with anyone else – other than the captain and crew, of course!

8 hour Private Rate

Best choice for serious anglers. Reach some of Maui’s most productive fishing areas. Maximum 6 guests
SHARED CHARTERS
Shared charters are charged on a per person basis. Good for 1-2 anglers who are on a limited budget. You will be sharing the boat with others who are unknown to you, and taking turns bringing in the fish. A portion of the day’s catch will be cut for all interested guests, regardless of who catches it. The boat needs to have at least 4 guests scheduled before we head out. Charters with less than 4 are considered tentative and subject to cancellation in the event another group wants a private charter for that day.
