★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 99 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of Oahu’s private Limitless sportfishing charter, with boat details, fishing odds, pricing, crew, practical tips, and who should book.

“The crew tried hard but the trip is a little misleading. They told us only one in five trips catch fish. It was an expensive trip that ended with no fish and disappointed kids. While they can’t control that, if knew the odds were one in five, we would not have spent money on this. Also, my son left his sunglasses on the boat, we messaged them right after and they never bothered to respond which was disappointing.”

Great equipment, great briefing on expectations on the boat and in the water. The captain even followed some whales on our way back to port. Loved that the number of guests is limited far below the boat capacity unlike other groups we saw on the water. 5 🌟. We'll be back again!!”
