GREAT CHARTER, GREAT CAPTAIN! - We are a family of 4, 2 kids 11/13 from the Midwest. I’ve done my share of charters around the world, not a ton, but fishing is what I know and love. Cpt. Brent and his Deckhand Logan were top notch fishermen, hosts and humans! From the very second I booked on FishingBooker.com, I get a call from Brent saying he got the booking and wanted to just say “Hi” and chatted a bit with me. Totally unexpected and great service. We booked the a.m. 5-hour charter and from the second we got there and even after the friendliness and service was amazing. Our goal was to get the kids bit and have some excitement and make memories. We did all of that except getting bit, but not for lack of effort by Cpt Brent and Logan. They both were amazing in prepping us and explaining the finer details of fishing and Hawaii in general. They were amazing with the kids, keeping them engaged and excited can be hard when the fish don’t cooperate, and they succeeded amazingly. We saw a humpback, pilot whales a few dolphins and learned a ton about fishing/Kona/Hawaii. He let my son drive a bit on the way back to the harbor and it was a highlight of his for sure. Now we had no expectations of going over our time on the water, but it happened that we did and I know he was really trying to get us that one hook up. Much appreciated!! I have never had a Cpt. Of a charter be so accommodating and willing to just share his knowledge like Cpt. Brent. He even has an itinerary to help you see some highlights of the big island he was willing to share after the tour and told us to reach out anytime if we had questions on our visit. I know we will be back to the Big Island and first on our list when we do come back is to book more fishing with Reel Escapes and Cpt. Brent. It will be a core memory for us and it the hospitality we received will never go unappreciated!

Great fishing experience - Great experience fishing with Will and Jay. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable, and my teenage son ended up reeling in 2 blue marlins in our morning cruise, which made him so happy. Thanks for great memories.

Awesome experience - Both William and Rooster were incredible. We had a blast, caught a striped marlin and a blue marlin! We will book with them every time going forward!

Great day on the water hooking a Blue Marlin! - We had an amazing day today with Capt William and Rooster. I had been looking forward to this trip and was hoping to catch a Blue Marlin. It was so exciting when I got to reel one in! They made the trip fun and informative. We also got to see a whale and flying fish. Highly recommend booking with them, they are very knowledgeable.

Friendly and fun! Caught a Blue Marlin! - Friendly captain and crew mate. We caught a marlin within the first 45 mins or so out but that was all for the day. We loved just hanging on the boat and my Teen and adult son just loved the experience of being able to see and say they caught a blue marlin. We released it back so it could get bigger it was about 5-6ft the crew said. They were friendly and helpful and if I return will definitely book with them again.

Quiet at first but great finish! - William and Wes were a top-notch crew… Both share a love and respect for fishing these beautiful, bountiful waters and it had a positive effect on our parties hopes to catch a nice fish. It took a few hours but William found a pair of beautiful spearfish. We only landed one but that was still worth the time and money… Next time out we will book an 8-hour excursion which will allow the Captain more time to pivot to a more productive fishing spot. All-in-all this was a blast-topped by the mango-lime marinated grilled Hebi (two minutes per side max!).

Best trip ever! - Captain William and Rooster were amazing! They explained everything in detail and were there to coach us the entire way! I felt so comfortable with their expertise. Next year, we are planning to do it again. Thank you for making our adventure so special!

Fishing Charter - Wow, I can’t say enough about Reel Escapes Fishing Charter. The owner Brent, Captain William, and first mate Rooster were the best. It was so easy to schedule my charter through Brent and fishing with Captain William and Rooster was awesome. They were so good at providing instructions and educating me about the fishery and area. I would recommend Reel Escapes to anyone.. Wonderful time!!

An experience of a lifetime - I definitely recommend this. I had a phenomenal time and they took care of us. If you go with these guys you’ll 100% catch something. Thanks and I’ll for sure go again. No one better if you’re looking for something.

One off the bucket list! - Great time! Captain Brent and his deckhand were great! We caught a Bluefin Marlin and a rare Shortbill. Checked this off our bucket list! Highly recommend!
