Easy booking experience and a wonderful time with Jorge and crew :)
Visiting Hawaii and not familiar with the local fishing action, I looked at using FishingBooker.
Found it to be easy, awesome, seemless and rewarding.
Great Captain and Crew - Play N Hooky helped make my dream vacation and fishing trip an awesome memory and experience.
Cherry on top was the Giant Trevally caught while trolling through the mouth of Pearl Harbor
Thanks for your amazing review. That's a beautiful GT!
Thanks for your great review! We're happy to have helped you get on the water.
Capt Armani was great! Knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Put us right on some fish, made experience for me, my wife and our 13 yo son a joy. Highly recommend.
We're so happy you enjoyed your trip, Trent!
Wonderful adventure! Plenty of fish and many memories.
We're so glad you enjoyed your trip!
Crew was great and professional. Also, very friendly and conversational. We hooked a marlin that threw the hook after taking 80 yds of line. Got a 32 pound yellow fin about 10 minutes later.
Highly recommended!
Sounds like an amazing trip! Thank you for the review.
After my initial booking through FishingBooker was cancelled by the captain I contacted FishingBooker directly. They were prompt with their response and helped me find a good captain within my budget who was Perfect.
The booking was easy, the Captain was great. Will be using them again.
Thanks for your review, Patrick! We're happy to have been able to help :)
Met the boat and it has horrible loading conditions. They said it was a beach and water walk to the boat, they didnt say it was thru jagged rocks.
The first thing out of the crews mouth was, pay the balance.
The fishing was not good and they did not listen to our request to bottom fish so atleast maybe we can catch something until; 2 hrs in where we had just been on a boat ride. It felt like there were 6 of us on someone else's boat charter.
I would not reccomend

If there's anything else we can do to help, please let us know. We hope your next trip is more enjoyable!
Very poor customer service! Absolutely not worth the fee that we paid for 3 people! Captain was more interested in texting and paid little attention to us. We caught 1 small tarpon near the bridge, and when we requested to move to a different site, he said "in 20 minutes". I don't know why. We fished for 10 minutes at the new site and caught nothing. I didn't know whether we would catch many fish, but the customer service was appalling! Stay away from this company!
Anne, we're very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your tarpon fishing trip. Sharing your experience with other anglers would be very helpful for them, so please feel free to leave a review directly on the captain's listing.

Was able to look at all the charter boats that use it, and read the reviews about each boat and the boat and equipment..
Thanks for your great review, Robert! We're happy to have helped :)
Eduardo communicated very well and was easy to deal with. We had an excellent time fishing with him and would do it again
Thanks for your review, Steve, we're glad you had a good time!
A great deep sea experience with Captain Taco. Taco worked hard to put us on fish and Dan was excellent at keeping bait in the water. Both of their fishing knowledge paid off for us. Highly recommend.
Rick
We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your trip, Rick. Let us know when you'd like to go fishing again!
It was a beautiful day to fish and captain Alfredo was right on time. Took a 10 minute ride out and immediate started fishing. Fished for 2 hours and then went to a cove and snorkeled for 30 minutes. Then fished for 30 more minutes and headed back in. Captain cleaned the fish and gave to us. It was a fun experience all around.
Thanks for your great review, we're glad you enjoyed your trip!
Zach gave us an awesome day out. We fished lots of spots for a variety of species. Admittedly the fish were not super fast at biting but we caught enough to take
Home for fish chowder. We fished under the piers, round the docks and out in the wild upriver spots where it was just us, the fish and the wildlife.
I loved the speedy boat ride between fishing locations. The scenery was stunning and the trip excelled my dream fishing trip.
Zach is knowledgeable, relaxed and a great guy to spend the day with. Thank s Zach. Great value.
Thanks for your amazing review – we're glad you had a good trip!
Fishing Booker made it so easy for us to find a last minute fishing charter. Rich was an incredible captain who was helpful but not domineering and he taught us a lot while we fished. We caught a lot of fish (I think about 5 or 6 kinds) and we brought home enough for 3-4 big meals for 4 people. We had SO much fun and laughed a lot while we were on our adventure. I would HIGHLY recommend Reel Rich Fishing and would definitely book him again!
Thanks for your amazing review, Mary! We're so happy you had a good experience with Captain Rich and hope we can help you enjoy more great experiences on the water soon.
Wat fijn dat je een mooie ervaring met ons hebt gehad, Jeroen! We hopen je snel nog een keer te kunnen helpen met je volgende reis.
Thanks Ken and crew for great day fishing. We fought the winds and currents and caught plenty of fish. Ken worked hard to find the right spots and keep the boat over the fish in high waves. Crew worked hard to keep our lines baited and in the water. This was our 7th trip with Ken- certainly not the last!
Thanks for your great review, Mike!
The morning of our 2 hr fishing charter was canceled because of weather which was completely BS other charters still went out and the day was beautiful
My daughter and I looked forward to this as it was the highlight of our trip we are from Boston! Do not recommend this place at all
Dan, thanks for booking with us. We're sorry to hear your trip didn't go ahead even though it seemed to be a beautiful day.
Could you let us know your booking ID and/or which charter you booked so we can look into this in more detail and follow up with you and the captain directly?
We went out with Captain Garrett and had a blast, we caught 4 different species. We caught fish every place he stopped the boat!
Thanks for your great review, Joel – we're glad you had a good time!
Incredible! The Captain was absolutely amazing, and the guys had an excellent time. They can't wait to go back!
Thanks for your great review, we're so happy you had a good time.
Answer: Scam. Fishingbooker is a rip off. Nothing but trouble. No customer service and they charge your credit card. Look out.
Answer: A: Hi Jamie, it really depends on the duration of your trip and the location you'd like to go fishing in. There are captains who offer departure times based on the cruise timetables and can get you back on time. I'd suggest you message the charters you'd like to go out with and inquire about this. I'm sure they will be able to assist you. Also, you can contact our customer service, and we'll gladly help you find something suitable. Many thanks, Maria
Answer: Hi Lawrence, we refunded your deposit after your trip in September was canceled. Please let us know if this is now resolved. Many thanks, Cat
