We are pleased to announce that Happy Hunter Sport Fishing in Kauai, Hawaii is now for the first time also offering Shared Charters.
What makes them unique for the 4 hour shared charter trip that they offer, is that they will commit to a share charter trip with a minimum of two clients: Most Kauai fishing charters require at least a four person minimum for a share charter to commence, so booking the Shared charters on Happy Hunter through Hawaii Deep Sea fishing will be much easier to book and confirm.
Shared charters are booked at a per person rate, rather than booing the boat as a whole. Happy Times current 4 hour shared charter rates at the time of publish are $200 per person. Four hour Shared charters are perfect if its just you or one or two other people who want to go out, or you are limited for time, or new to Sport fishing and want to see what its all about.
If you’re looking for great deep sea fishing action in Kauai, the Happy Hunter is the boat for you! They have been fishing and catching in these waters since 1988. The Happy Hunter II is a 41-foot Pacifica Sportfisher that operates out of Nawiliwili Harbor on the east coast of the island of Kauai. They have one of the best maintained and well kept sport fishing vessel on the island along with professionally maintained top of the line Shimano Tiagra reels and custom made rods handcrafted by Hank Zeevat for local Kauai waters.
Are you looking to charter a fishing boat on the Big Island, but for just for yourself or one or two others?
If you would like to try a Shared charter, instead of chartering the whole boat, you can join others and just book at a per person rate. Shared charters require at least 4 people to sign up for the fishing charter to operate.
Sea Wife II offer 4 hour shared charters each day, leaving in the morning at around 7:30 am or at 12 pm in the afternoon. There are also rates for non fishing Spectators on these shared fishing charters.

The 2013 Firecracker Open was won by Capt. Brian Wargo who showed that tenacity and the fact that it ain’t over til it’s over can pay off, as they moved from no score to top score with John Bowers doing the angling duties. According to John, “I pretty much sat on my ass until the last hour, fought the fish and now have to sit on a plane back to California to go to work in the morning.” Such is life at the Hawaii Marlin Tournament Series. 17 Blue Marlin and 10 Ahi were caught in two days. Check back for finals. This 513 pound blue was literally “fished up” in the last minutes of the last day.
There can be only one !!
