Awesome trip out this morning with Capt. Brent. Two short billed spearfish and spotted a bonus pod of beaked whales. Great memories for me and my son!!!! Mahalo, Reel Escapes for the great trip on the water.

Absolutely amazing and the best out there! Im local so i have a good grasp on the local charters. This company is stellar! Brent and ian are absolutely awesome and so kind. Within 4 hours we had 2 marlin that escaped due to the fact i stopped reeling for a moment ao my fault. However we also landed 4 mahi and 2 ono in this time as well. You will not get those results anywhere, Of course its luck of the draw. I will be booking more often in the future and i hope he stays around, I cant recommend reel escapes enough. Brent also took time to fillet all fish for us and store in ziplock bags. Its cheaper to charter than to buy a boat and provide maintenance and i dont have to clean boat or fillet fish. I just have to show up lol. When you factor all that in, the price is bare bones.

We did an 8 hour charter with Captain Brent and deckhand Ian on March 24th. Right from the time we stepped on the boat they made us feel comfortable and ensured we knew all the safety protocols before we set sail. Both were really knowledgeable and personable, getting to know them was half the experience. The expectations on what may or may not happen was set right up they were very honest which was refreshing. At the end of the day we caught a beautiful striped Marlin. Thank you Brent and Ian for making these 2 Canadians experience in Kona a memorable one. Will definitely be sharing this with everyone back home and recommend to anyone looking for a deep sea fishing trip while on the big island.

Brent and Ian were fantastic hooking us up on two blue marlin and a very rare short billed spearfish in Kona waters. They were alot of fun while explaining the process and sharing stories about fishing experiences. This certainly was the highlight of a three week Hawaiian Islands vacation, and thank you Brent and Ian!!Barney and Roscoe

Excellent experience! Brent was my captain, he was experienced and professional, got us on the fish for a great catch! Ian was a great and very helpful deckhand. Recommend for anyone that wants to catch a warm water trophy!

Had the best time of my life. Captain Brent and TJ couldn’t have been better. We got super lucky and landed a Mahi Mahi and Blue Marlin. If you are ever thinking about a fishing trip this is the one to do. Thank you again Brent and TJ.

Great fishing charter outfit here in Kailua-Kona. Went out with Dean and Logan on a 6 hour trip, and they worked hard to try and get us on some fish. Living here on Island, we will certainly be back again soon with these guys!
