Aloha! We're Go Fish Kauai — running the most unforgettable daily sportfishing charters out of Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor on our 41-foot Bertram sport fishing yacht, the Emma Nalani.
We're locally owned. We're family-run. We treat every guest like ohana from the moment you step on the dock. Kauai's ledges are right off our coast — we're on the fish in minutes, not hours.
Gina is the owner and the operator. She's been at the helm of this operation since 2014, and she picks up the phone herself when you call. That's the difference.
Every Kauai sportfishing charter departs at 6:00 AM from Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor. Tackle, bait, gear, coolers, ice, and water are included on every trip. You bring the food, the drinks, and the good attitude.
Our most popular trip for families and first-timers. Four hours of big-game action targeting Mahi Mahi, Ono, and Tuna in Kauai's close-in water.
The sweet spot for most repeat guests. More water covered, more species targeted. Reach the deeper blue where the bigger fish are running.
Our big-game trip for serious anglers chasing trophy marlin or 100-pound Ahi. Push into true offshore territory for the full Pacific experience.
The longest charter we run, built around what you want to fish. The ultimate offshore day for groups who want to go all the way out and stay there.
Every Kauai sportfishing charter we run happens on the Emma Nalani — a Bertram 38 Convertible III Sport Fisher. 41 feet length overall. 17 tons of boat, built in an era when Bertram was making the best sport fishing hulls in the world.
She's purpose-built for Hawaiian offshore water, and she's been doing it right for decades. You'll see her at the dock every morning before sunrise, lights on, coffee brewing, ready to run.
Gina answers the phone herself, captains the boat, and has been fishing Kauai's waters since 2014. No corporate charter company does that.
Kauai's deep-water ledges are closer to shore than any other Hawaiian island. We're fighting fish while other charters are still burning fuel.
TripAdvisor, Google, Yelp — we've maintained a 5-star rating for years. Our guests talk. Read the reviews.
Call or book online directly with us. No OTA markups. No booking platform fees. Gina will tell you exactly what's biting before you commit.
"Gina was phenomenal. She knew exactly where the fish were running and had us on Mahi within 15 minutes of leaving the harbor. Best charter on Kauai, full stop."
"We caught a 65lb Ahi on the ¾-day trip. The whole crew was incredible — patient with the kids, knowledgeable about the water, and just genuinely good people. Will be back every year."
"Booked directly with Gina — so personal. Showed up, stepped on, and were out chasing marlin in the clearest blue water I've ever seen. This is how Kauai is supposed to feel."
These are the big-game fish that call Kauai's offshore water home. Every trip is a chance at a personal best.
