He is renowned for his quiet disposition, intense work ethic, and an extraordinary 90–95% catch rate. Every year he continues to bring in the most Ahi and notable catches within the Kewalo Basin harbor charter fishing fleet.

- 1,106 lbs (Caught onboard the Magic in Lahaina Jackpot fishing tournament)

TYPE/TRIP DURATION/RATE(per charter)Full Day Shared Trip: 8-10 hours $425.00 (per person) This is only collected if your reservation is confirmed, we will reach out to you if there is availability. Note: Shared charter is sharing the vessel with other personnel not specifically from your party, up to 6 passengers maximum. We need minimum 4 confirmed shared bookings to run the charter for that day.
Magic’s crew will clean/fillet servings for our customers upon return. Shared Charters – Our crew will clean and fillet a 2-3 lb. serving per person, from fish caught weighing under 50 lbs.
The captain will determine what fish will be cut by starting with the smallest fish and no fish weighing over 50 lbs. Those over 50 lbs. are taken to our local fish auction which sustains local businesses. This is also how your crew for the day earn a living. We want you to keep in mind this is a guarantee that they will hustle all day to get you onto some fish and not just going out for a boat ride. – NO FISH = NO PAY for the crew.
