Fantastic time! We went fishing with Captain Kamal and Deckhand Chad in late April. We booked a 6 hour private charter with them and loved every minute. This type of fishing is challenging in that its a big big ocean and its not easy to find the fish. That being said, we had a really really great day! It started off slow but the water conditions were phenomenal, allowing us to get ~40 miles off shore into 6000 feet deep water. We brought in a couple small yellowfin tuna and then everything else turned on! Our day finished with 5 small yellowfin tuna, 1 medium sized yellowfin, and then 1 larger (nearly ahi) yellowfin tuna, 2 skipjacks, an Ono or Wahoo, and the highly sought after short-nosed bill spearfish!
Kamal and Chad were both awesome and I feel that I need to describe Kamal as an addict to fishing. The dude wants to land fish and he will try whatever he can to get you there. The boat is comfortable and the length of it helps provide for a smooth ride on the sea.
I highly recommend Rascal Charters to fisher-men and women as well as those who don't really no what they are doing around a fishing pole. We had several newbies with us and they all were able to land fish on our trip.
Check them out when you are in Maui!

We chartered a 3/4 day sportsfishing trip with Rascal Charter in July 2023. Captain Kamal and Joanna made the trip fun and exciting. Within the first 30 minutes, my son caught a 30# Ono (Wahoo). My other son also caught a mahi mahi. Joanna expertly filleted the fish, and gave us some to take back and cook at our condo. The boat was comfortable and well outfitted. We would definitely recommend fishing with Rascal and will be booking with them again when we come back to Maui.

We took a 6 hr private charter and had such a great time. Kamal and Chris were amazing, they made every effort to make sure that we caught fish and had a good time while doing it. We caught 13 Mahi Mahi, they even cleaned the fish for us. All we had to do was cook it. Will definitely rebook with them again on our next trip.

My favorite part of the trip were getting to be taken care of by an amazing crew, Kamal and Chris. They did everything they could to make us comfortable and have fun. They must have asked ten times what they could do or provide to make our trip excellent. They worked tirelessly to catch fish and make our experience all that it could be. We caught two Mahi Mahi with great expertise and execution on their part. The boat was comfortable and well equipt. The owner of the boat is in San Francisco...and I want him to know that these guys are amazing and take excellent care of your customers and boat...Cheers....give them a raise.

Great day on the water with Captain Kamal, Chris and team. Tough luck with the fish but we had several on the hook and had an Ono jump out of the water and taunt us a bit. Even though we didn't land anything, the crew was working hard to find the fish and that was much appreciated. We have unfinished business with the Rascal team and we look forward to booking with them on our next trip to Maui.

Kamal and Sammy worked as a well organized team to make our Maui fishing trip a great day on the water. The boat was solid and well outfitted with the welcome addition of more shaded area than typically seen on sportfishermen of this style. My wife also noted that there was distinctly less diesel smell than many of the other charter boats we'd been on. We didn't exactly fill the boat, but we didn't get skunked either, so we were very pleased with our catch. We put a nice Ono in the boat that the crew shared with us. We'll enjoy a few fresh fish dinners and maybe a few lunches for the rest of stay in Maui.

We thoroghly enoyed our 6-hour sportfishing trip with Captain Kamal and Keola! They were kind and attentive, focused on creating an enjoyable trip even when we were waiting for bites. Caught 3 mahis and 1 ono. Keola fileted the fish at the harbour afterwards and we grillled it at our resort that evening. Delicious and super memorable. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with Rascal! Kamal and Sammy made sure we knew how to handle the rods and reels. They answered all our questions. We caught fish because they used all of their knowledge to find them. What really topped off the trip was seeing spinner dolphins.

I NEVER give a full 5 star review, but these guys deserve it. Chris and Cpt. Kamala got us to the fish and helped not just me, but my wife and 4 kids with every aspect of deep sea fishing. Also, didn't hurt I caught a 55lb, 47in Short-billed Spearfish!! They filleted it up and we grilled it that night. Also, will be putting on my wall as soon as they are done with the mount. I will definitely use them again when we go back to Maui.
