Sashimi 2....Its not a sushi bar
What exactly is Sashimi 2????
Located in the same area as the Honolulu Screamer and other charter fishing boats, Its the name of a boat that offers "bottom fishing tours".
What exactly is a bottom fishing tour????
You are taken for a 20-minute boat ride past Kewalo Basin, and taken to a few spots to do some bottom fishing (no trolling) for a couple of hours with beautiful views of Diamond Head and the rest of Oahu's South Shore. There are two bottom fishing tours you can choose from for $63 (Kama'aina Rate $42):
Daytime Tour: 11:30am-3:30pm
Sunset Tour: 4:30pm-9:00pm
All bottom fishing tours include: Site Seeing,(Scenic Views, Possible Dolphin/Whale Sightings) Quick style kau kau of Rice,Beans, Hot Dog, and Hamburger,: Rod, Bait, and Tackle,Transportation to and from your hotel, and the best part? Cook your catch! Yes, as long as it's legal size(7 inches or more) edible, and not a protected species, they will clean it and cook it up for all to enjoy!
Having been on both tours, one's not necesarily better than the other, because fish WILL be caught....(some may be luckier than others...)
Daytime: Beautiful weather and conditions, we caught Moana, Weke, Nabeta, and Uku and we were fortunate enough to see a school of dolphins which was COOL!
Sunset: Beautiful weather and conditions, we caught, Nabeta, Yellow Lipped Triggerfish, Lai, Akule, and Ta'ape...one of the staff members even reeled in a huge Garfish which he was gonna use for bait later that night for a Shark Hunt.
SHARK HUNT!?!?! Yes, for all you adrenaline junkies, there is a Midnight Shark Hunt (Catch and Release) that is also offered for $125(inquire about Kama'aina Rate) from 9:30pm-1am. They even offer private charters (1/2 day $525, full day $825) where you and your buddies can go catch the BIG fish. (Mahi, Marlin, Ahi, etc.)
Here are some helpful pro tips:
-Sashimi 2 can take up to 50 people, but no less than 8
-Wear weather appropriate attire(Jacket, umbrella, flip flops, shoes, etc. according to weather conditions)
-There are bathrooms on board, and you can fish anywhere around the boat, but cannot climb up top
-You can bring food, snacks, soft drinks, etc. ( they have a cooler for that, and also offer fruit punch and water)
-Bring binoculars/cameras for cool sites and kodak moments(beautiful sunset too!)
-Take something for motion sickness if you can possibly get seasick...no refunds, and 2 of the 8 in our bunch were miserable...
With all of that being said...... IT'S A GREAT IDEA FOR A UYE!!!!.....ALOHA!!!!
