DESCRIPTION
Private Maui Fishing Charters
These exclusive fishing trips are operated closer to shore in Maui's calm executive waters and make this our top recommended charter for serious light tackle fishermen as well as families with children, teens, and those who want to land decent-sized Maui game fish. Departing from West Maui's Mala Wharf boat ramp and Kaanapali Beach, the Cooper V and Mercury are equipped for some fantastic bottom fishing trips. The captain will clean and fillet your catch if desired.
Shared Maui Fishing Charters
Lighter tackle inshore fishing for those who prefer calm waters and 4 hour trips (up to 8 hours with private charters). These exclusive Maui fishing trips are operated in calm executive waters closer to shore, making this our top recommended charter for serious fisherman as well as families with kids aged 7 and up, teens, and those who want to land decent sized Maui game fish.

Inshore Fishing Overview
UFO Adventures Fishing trips utilize the fastest fishing vessels in Hawaii. At 30+ kts Cooper V and Mercury are unmatched in their ability to get to more fishing grounds than any other vessel. With Cooper V's 12-passenger capacity, the net result is more opportunities to find the bite and put dinner on the table. Depending on weather, charter time, and guests ability we can utilize various angling techniques for that once-in-a-lifetime Hawaiian fishing experience. Fishing locations are at the captain's discretion and are dependent on the current weather conditions.
