Captain Al and John were great! The Topshape was rigged with the best of everything, but it was the combined efforts of the highly skilled, and exceptionally nice team that my family will always remember. Two Ono, One short-nosed billfish and the best fishing trip ever!!!

We had an awesome time on TopShape with Captian Al and Johnny!! Fishing was tough, but it wasn't due to lack of trying. Captain Al covered a lot of water and Johnny tried everything from live bait to many different lures. All in all I would recommend this charter to anyone!! Thanks to everyone!!

After extensive research we decided upon Topshape for our fishing adventure, and I must say we were not disappointed! Capt Al began the charter with an introduction of his First Mate, John, and proceeded to tell us about his boat and were provided with water, sodas and snacks. We had brought a lunch, which were were able to put onto... More

Bucket list items are serious milestones and deep sea fishing was on my husband’s list. If you think you can only afford to go out and “hunt” for a wild, powerful sea creature like a marlin once in your lifetime, shouldn’t you do it with the best people on the finest boat in the most beautiful place you can find?...

Took my friend and our 2 boys ages 8 and 11 out fishing with Captain Al and John. We had a great time and I would recommend them 100% for a charter. The boat is like brand new as well as all the gear. When I asked my son what was his favorite activity from our Hawaii trip, he said... More

We were totally impressed with the professionalism and the experience provided by Captain Al and First Mate John. Nothwithstanding some unforseen scheduling issues, they went out of their way to accommodate a time and day that worked for us in the limited time we had on the Big Island. Although the fish did elude us that day, the 3/4 day... More

WOW! What an amazing boat! Reviewers are correct, this is really more of a yacht and you would never guess that it is not brand new as it is in MINT condition! Al and John are great and we had a wonderful day chatting with them. It is clear they enjoy what they do and want very much for everyone... More

We have chartered many excursions in many areas of the world and many have been very good, but Captain Al and first mate John (who is a lucky catch for Topshape and company!) are far and away the charter that will more than exceed your expectations! As soon as you meet Captain Al you realize you are in the company... More

Thanks to Captain Al Gustavson and deck hand John for a successful fishing trip March 14, 2013, on the TOPSHAPE. Everything about the trip was great from the luxurious and beautifully equipped boat to the fun of catching many fish. I've spent a lifetime fishing all over the country ... Al, John, and TOPSHAPE are first class in every way.... More
