During my recent trip to Kauai, I had my first-ever experience with SCUBA diving. Mike, our…read moreinstructor (who sometimes refers to himself as "Mother Duck," which we dirty-mindedly evolved to "Mother Ducker") was an absolutely wonderful guide and teacher. Rather than taking a boat ride out for our first dive, my girlfriends and I just walked right into the water at Koloa Landing. The reef there was amazing... full of sea turtles, octopi, pillow sea stars, sea slugs, eels... all kinds of wildlife. We played around for about an hour down there. I left this dive very appreciative for what Mike had taught us in such a short period of time, and especially appreciative that he left me with a really strong desire to get out there again! This dive made me wish the conditions were a little better at home in San Diego. I'd love to get certified, and might just do so before my next trip to the Aloha state.

My Wife and I wanted to get certified, but didn't want to do that at some community pool. So we…read moredecided to do it on Kauai over a 10 day vacation. We were not disappointed! Now remember this was perhaps 30 years ago, so I unfortunately do not remember the name of the original owner, nor his 'apprentice', but it was a great experience. He was very thorough, made sure we did all the work and study, and were qualified divers once we finished our certification. Our Final dive was with his apprentice, and he was a joy to dive with. He made the experience unforgettable, and after over 100 dives later I still remember our certification experience like it was yesterday. Now the name 'Wet and Wonderful' may not get you in the door, but we have zero complaints then, and none now. I can only hope it is the same small, caring dive outfit it was back then. I'm very happy it's still around. Check them out!

Captain Grant and Mana were excellent guides on our trip and were informative on not just fishing but any of the questions we had about Kauai. Including my wife and I, our 13 and 11 year old boys went with us. They had a great time and learned a bunch. I had never been deep sea fishing in Hawaii before and the trip was worth it. While the biting was slow early, Captain Grant and Mana didn't give up and by the end our trip we were able to snag a 20 lbs. Ono. Biggest fish my boys or I have caught to date and wish we could have taken some to eat but our hotel had no where to cook it. However, the fish was a great experience and if we get the chance to go back to Kauai and Captain Grant is still guiding tours, we would definitely return to his boat. Also a side note, Fisher was awesome to meet.

I went out yesterday with our group of 4, a 6 hr trip for $800, a trip we had planned well in…read moreadvance of our vacation with much excitement and anticipation. I have to say it was a major disappointment on many levels. Three of the four of us are experienced in offshore fishing, having done many trips in Southern California up and down the coast. We understand there is no guarantee of catching fish, but, we do expect to have a good experience based on comfort and services. The comfort and service were lacking, I seriously suggest finding a different charter in Kauai if you want an overall good experience. I think Captain Jeff was likely a great deckhand at one point who decided to buy the cheapest (e,g, very bad shape) boat he could find and start a fishing business. He provided a decent intro/over view for the trip which emphasized safety, but, his reference to the life jackets "in the storage area" was simply, "you know, there's a few buckles and straps, not a big deal", was somewhat alarming for me, and, he didn't take one out to even show us how to use it, nor did he even reference "what to do" in the event we had to go in the water for a fire, etc. Safety is not a joke when on the open water and if something goes wrong, panic may ensue, the boat Captain has to ensure we know what to do and how to do it. The safety overview and preparation was severely lacking and of great concern. Captain Jeff's boat appears to be in poor condition, he asked us to remove shoes (with rubber soles for grip!) and fish barefoot to avoid damaging his peeling deck surface as well as slipping, well for me that was an issue because I didn't want to leave with severely sunburned feet, and, I prefer having shoes on. It wasn't really an option, he made it clear that he wanted no shoes on. Also, from a hygiene perspective, is he aware of how many foot problems can be transferred, athletes foot, etc? Again, made me very uncomfortable. Who was walking on that deck the day before, and the day before that, etc, etc. Seating on his boat is terrible, there's barely enough room for 4 on the infrastructure bench, all steel bench and seat backs, no padding, how expensive would 4 seat cushions and back cushions be Jeff? The other option is to sit on the steel engine cover lid, there is very little to no shade available to get out of the sun. Jeff did offer one inside seat to us to get out of the rain, but that's it, no room for anyone else. Jeff, your boat is extremely uncomfortable, but you don't seem to care. but I noticed you had a nice cushioned captains chair to drive the boat from. Lucky you, your back probably doesn't hurt as much as mine does today. We were told when our trip was booked that there would be drinks and snacks provided on the trip (again, 6 hours on the water), well there drinks but no snacks, NOTHING to eat unless we brought it ourselves, we were all very hungry at the end of the trip, again, a complete LACK of service (how much would 4 pre-made sandwiches and some chips have cost you Jeff? Maybe $20?? The final blow for me was when 2 of Jeff's troll lines were bit off he lost the set-ups obviously and was visibly upset about it, explaining the detailed cost of each component (hook, feather jig, etc) and that each was $60 and that "now it's gone, not here anymore to use", as if it was our fault for not jumping on the reel at hook up to keep tension on the fish. He never told us to set the hook, he was doing all the "fishing" and once hooked would put us on the reel to crank away. It's like taking your car to a mechanic for an oil change, they loosen the oil pan plug to drain the oil, the wrench breaks in the process and then he wants to charge you for the wrench. Seriously? And, on top of it, he didn't have a good supply of fishing jigs and feathers, we saw what he had in the storage area on the boat, I can tell you I have more jigs in my tackle box at home than this guy had, so disappointed when I saw this. He really has a bare bones operation, a piece of crap boat, and his customer service / communication skill is that of a Santa Barbara deckhand -turned boat captain. Jeff, you can refute this posting all you want, I'll be happy to provide additional info that I have spared here. I really believe the only positive reviews seen here are from people who were lucky enough to have hooked into some really nice dorado or tuna and therefore their trip was "awesome", "best ever". We had one Ono and one Skipjack come on board, and, Jeff was pretty hard over on keeping the Ono for himself "in lieu of a tip for him" and to "help make up for the lost gear". So sad, we were really looking forward to this island fishing experience, we'll find a different boat next time. Final point, Jeff has an interesting personality, at times very aloof and non-communicative, borderline rude for paying customers, did not answer 3 of my 4 direct questions on the fishing or fish, very perplexed by that. Very disappointed. Thanks.

It started slow and we were accepting getting skunked, but it was still a beautiful boat ride out to the fishing grounds from Nawiliwili Harbor. Then came the first hit, a huge mahi mahi (dorado) that snarled all the lines, but it was brought on board safely. and lines were quickly put back in the water. Then another mahi, then a decent sized ono (wahoo), then a 30 lb. mahi. All of it was exciting as hell, especially for six novices. Captain Jeff made sure everyone had a turn reeling in the fish and we were all smiles. Then the big one hit. Something took one of the lines and fortunately, the strongest guy had the rod because it took a while to discover that a huge tuna was hooked. From one side of the boat to the other, several times, it took four of us guys to get the tuna on board! It was a happy trip back to the harbor and Captain Jeff cleaned one of the mahi to split up. We took four huge portions back to the room for some outstanding dinners. Delicious. It was the highlight of our week on Kauai and I highly recommend Captain Jeff and Island Kaui Fishing. We'll be back for sure.

Jason was our captain and the three of us set out on a half day charter fishing trip on a day with 6ft swells. I was pleasantly surprised that he took my pregnancy in stride, checked on me throughout the trip to make sure I was okay, but never made me feel incapable. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. He showed us around the ocean, gave us some history of the island and taught me about the basics of deep sea fishing. I went on this fishing trip for my husband. I know nothing about boats or fishing terms but I felt totally comfortable. Jason was the most friendly, relaxed, down to earth, knowledgable, and passionate captain we could have ever hoped to take us on this trip. The moment the spools started spinning, we knew we had something huge on the line. Jason sprung to action, I took the wheel, and my husband took the reel, and Jason took the line. Jason was so coordinated in letting us both know what to do and when. It looked like a perfectly choreographed dance. His quick lesson on how to keep the line directly behind the boat made me feel confident when I took the wheel. After 22 minutes of a hard battle, the two of them reeled in approx 165 lb Yellowfin Tuna (we get the final weight today!). The entire time, Jason was leading us, but it felt like we were a team. From cruising around on the ocean, catching a tuna, to meeting his awesome Fiancé (owner of No Problem Charters)- the entire experience was something we will never forget. I can't imagine we would have come even close to this kind of experience on another charter. Lee is currently on maternity leave but you can see that her passion, knowledge, and personality are so similar to Jason and I have no doubt that when she gets back on the boat, she will give the same amazing experience as Jason. The two of them are an amazing team and I couldn't recommend them more. Don't look any further than No Problem Charters!
