What should you know before you book fishing tours on Oahu?
Start by deciding between a shared trip and a private boat, because the prices are set differently. The Limitless Private Sportfishing Charter is priced for the whole group. If you travel alone or with one other person, compare the per-person shared charter first. A private boat makes more sense for a group that wants the trip to itself.
Then match the length to your day. The NS Tour Guide shoreline session runs 1.5 hours. Pick the option that fits around your flight, cruise or other plans.
How much does it cost, and what is included?
Per-person prices run from $140 to $299. The NS Tour Guide shoreline session includes fishing poles, tackle and bait. The Limitless Shared Sportfishing Charter, from $299 per person, includes all fishing gear and tackle, an ice-filled cooler and safety instructions from the captain.
