This trip was nothing, but an expensive boat ride. If you're looking for and interactive trip, then stay away from this one. My buddy and I were joined with four others on a shared 8 hour trip. There were 2 people including the captain on the ship with us. first they boast about how tips and selling fish were their... More

After reviewing Tripadvisor I decided to go ahead and use them. Now I know why there is a reason that they have low rating. As far as the crew, they did only their job. There was a total of four fishing on the boat and we all were of the opinion that we wanted to catch something to bring back... More

The trip was average. If you want to fight a fish-this trip is definitely for you... If you are a fisherman and you actually like to "fish", then this trip isn't for you. We did a "shared" trip. 6 of us received a number. When we hooked a fish, they called the number out and that number fought the fish...... More

Booked 2 spots for my son & I on the live bait boat. Without notifying me - got bumped to a trawling boat. Spent 8 hours bored.... and caught nothing. Brought it up to the owner who really did not care. This was obvious through his very poor attitude. Upset, I immediately booked 2 more spots with his compettitor DIE... More

My brother, his daughter, my dad and myself booked a private half-day morning charter with this fishing company. This was to be a special trip for my father as he is loosing his vision and this probably would be his last fishing trip. We were somewhat suprised to find ourselves trolling around the bay area for most of the time... More

Perfect day fishing - my son was set on fishing and this was his only pick for our Maui vacation- Start Me Up was great! Thank you to the owner, Doug, for personally calling us to make sure our reservation was handled to company standards. Excellent experience and we will fish again with Start Me Up!! We are eating Mahi... More

I wanted to go fishing in Maui in a bad way on our trip there this month. I had done all my research and had my charter all but booked. When we got to Maui and I went to the Expedia kiosk at our resort to book my trip. After a quick discussion with the lady at the booth I... More

Start Me Up did an awesome job of taking our adult son fishing. He could not have been happier. They caught 8 Mahi Mahi and generously filleted them so we could take home steaks to cook. Staff were professional and great guys. I'd go on the whole day trip, chances of catching fish are much better. More

When we went we were not lucky enough to get a bite or catch anything but, the crew was talkative and entertaining regardless. The crew makes their money off of catching fish so they want to catch fish more than anyone and this seems to be good motivation for them! Overall the experience was great and the boat was very...
