Experience Kaua’i Sportfishing with Lahela Sportfishing

January 25, 2012 By Linda 4 Comments

Cruise Kauai’s magnificent coastline with Lahela Ocean Adventures and enjoy the thrill of catching large ahi, ono, aku or even pacific blue marlin.

 

Lahela Sportfishing has the only Coast Guard Certified Sport fishing game boat on Kaua’i that can legally carry up to 12 passengers on private charters.

What does it mean to be Coast Guard certified?
Lahela Ocean Adventures satisfies mandatory Coast Guard requirements each year. This
means that the Lahela is thoroughly inspected annually to ensure that all its safety gear is current, all wiring is in place, all switches are operable, and there are no fire hazards (the engine is cleaned and there’s no oil in the bilge). In short, the Coast Guard double checks that everything is in perfect working order to ensure your safety. In addition, they also require the crew members to execute “man overboard” and fire drills. And finally, every year the boat is hauled out of the water for complete inspection inside and out.

Size of boat: Lahela is a 34ft X 12.5ft wide Sportfishing Game Boat.

Amenities include a full walk in rest room with running water. Refrigerator and stereo system. Covered Fly bridge with seating.

Location: Lahela Ocean Adventures is located in slip 109 at Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor on Kauai, Hawaii.

Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor is located in Lihue 2 miles SE of Lihu`e Airport at the corner of Waapa and Niumalu Roads.

What we fish for: Blue Marlin, Stripe marlin, pacific short nose spear fish, Yellow Fin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Ono, Skip Jack/Aku, Rainbow runner, Amber Jack/Kahala, GT a.k.a Ulua, Shark and a host of other bottom dwellers.

Fishing gear: The Lahela is tournament rigged with a 130 lb class fighting chair. Shimano tiagra reels rated for 20 lb to 130 lb. test line. Complete sets of stand up tackle for 12 lb. up to 50 lb. class line along with stand up belts and harness.

Included with all our tours: Bottled water and non alcoholic soft drinks. A basic sandwich lunch can be provided at an additional cost on all of our 6 and 8 hr tours including shared trips. Requests for a lunch need to be made at time of booking.

Check-in time: May – September 5:30 a.m. October-April 6:30 a.m. Afternoon departures are scheduled between 12:00 P.M. and 2:00 P.M.

1. Catch policy: Customers are welcome to keep their catch. As part of the services that we offer we can help customers arrange to have up to 70 lbs of their catch processed, packaged and shipped any where FedEx ships 2 day with in the United States. Customer pays all the shipping, packaging and processing costs. If you are interested in shipping your catch we recommend you check with your local FedEx office to see what the shipping rates are from Lihue Hawai’i (96766) to your address ahead of time. If not you can always enjoy your catch while staying on Kaua’i. (Please note there is no flash freezing or commercial vacuum sealing available on Kaua’i.)

We offer Private 4-Hour, 6-Hour and 8 hour charters for up to 12 passengers any day of the week (Monday thru Sunday).

On our shared charters each angler is assigned one (1) rod for the day, 5 anglers (5) rods. If a shared customer wishes to fish more then (1) rod have them inquire at time of check-in for availability.
On our private charters and depending on what the customer wishes to fish for we can fish maximum of six (6) rods.

Captains and crew: Captain Scott Akana grew up on Kauai and has been fishing here for over 40 years. He was a commercial fisherman before becoming a charter captain. His local knowledge of fishing in the Hawaiian Islands makes this company one of the top charter operations on Kauai. There are over 16 sport fishing companies here on Kaua’i, and Captain Scott is currently the only Native Hawaiian owner operator running fishing charters here on kaua’i.

For more than 20 years Captain Howard Singer has been sport fishing between Maui and Kauai. If you’re a novice angler, he takes his time to teach you the art of deep sea fishing, not to mention, he’ll talk story filling you in on Hawaii’s fascinating culture and customs. We pride ourselves on a very high level of quality in our tours.

Co Captain Bubby Saiki was born and raised on Kaua’I. Bubby comes from a fishing family and has worked for four other charter companies on Kaua’I before settling in full time in 2010 with Lahela Sportfishing.

Cancellation policy: Should we cancel a trip due to bad weather, our customer won’t be charged any cancellation fees. Should our customer cancel their trip less than 14-days before departure (or fail to show up for their trip), then the cost of the customers charter is non-refundable at that time.

Mama’s Fish House Restaurant

Mama’s Fish House, Maui’s first fresh fish restaurant was born in 1973. The Christenson family fell in love with the lifestyle of old Polynesia as they sailed across the South Pacific in the late 1950’s, finally settling on Maui in 1963. Along the way they learned many ways to prepare fresh fish and to share the aloha […]

What Linda’s Clients Say…

Just returned from Hawaii ( Maui) for our wedding and honeymoon. Or as Linda put it "weddingmoon".

Everything was perfect. Linda's attention to detail was exceptional. I was a little hesitant using an agent over the internet. She kept in close contact via phone and email. I couldn't have ask for more from a local travel agent.

I had dates and hotel in mind when I contacted her. Not only did she make my itinerary reality... she beat the price of a popular travel company.

After working with her, she mentioned she books for "non wedding" vacations as well. And is an expert in Caribbean as well as Hawaii. So we will be using her for our next Caribbean vacation as well. I highly recommend her. When planning a trip of such magnitude, you want peace of mind. Linda will provide this and so much more.

Sincerely,
Patty & Dell

LINDA DANCER is BY FAR the BEST travel agent and wedding coordinator out there!

I originally stumbled upon Linda while googling for some wedding help to plan a wedding in Kauai Hawaii and boy did I luck out! I got a hold of Linda and from day 1 she was nothing but helpful, kind, understanding, and patient! Linda first asked me what I had pictured for my dream wedding and I gave her an idea that was all over the map because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted yet. My only requirement was somewhere grassy near the beach. I was worried because I am a full time student again, and my now husband had an emergency surgery that stole nearly our entire wedding budget, so I wasn't sure if our dream wedding in Kauai could even happen on such a small budget.

Linda told me anything was possible and immediately came back with many affordable suggestions, pictures, ideas, and options. Linda went above and beyond....not only did she suggest a bunch of places, but she contacted ALL of the places I was interested in to see if my wedding on a tight budget could even happen.  She worked with all of them, and COMPLETELY took the stress off of me having to do it all! Once we decided on a place, I posted Linda's information on our wedding website for all of my guests to use for travel accommodations. Linda took care of it all, and EVERY single one of my guests had wonderful things to say about Linda. I will use Linda for LIFE!

Although her specialty is weddings and honeymoons, she is the best travel agent out there in my opinion for anything you want to do or anywhere you want to go. Linda doesn't even cost anything to you as the customer...which is unheard of so what more could you possibly ask for!??  Thanks to Linda my wedding was WAY MORE than I thought it would be, and my vision and dream had certainly come true.  I have the most beautiful pictures of any wedding I've ever seen thanks to Linda and her expertise in knowing exactly what I had pictured!  I cannot thank Linda enough, and I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING negative to say about Linda...

she truly is perfect at her job and you will not be disappointed in using Linda Dancer!!  Thank You Linda!! XOXO

Love,
Eric & AJ Cooper
