Catching Memories, One Fish at a Time
At Ohana Fishing Charters, we pride ourselves on being one of the premier deep sea sport fishing charters in Kauai. With over 30 years of experience in the fishing industry, our captain, Lance Keener, has honed his skills to take you on an unforgettable adventure. With a passion for fishing that started at a young age, Lance's journey has taken him from the Santa Barbara Channel Islands to the Northern Marianas Islands to the Hawaiian Islands. His extensive experience and knowledge of the ocean have made him one of the most sought-after captains in the industry.
Our Vessel
We operate the Ho'o Maika'i, a 30-foot Wilson boat, custom-built for the waters off Kauai. This vessel is wider than most deep sea fishing boats on the island, providing a more stable and comfortable ride for our guests. Equipped with modern, top-of-the-line equipment, the Ho'o Maika'i is designed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all onboard. Our vessel is also equipped with up-to-date electronics and top-of-the-line fishing gear, ensuring that we have the best equipment to catch the big ones.
Our Captains
Our captains, Lance Keener and Britt, have spent their entire lives in and around the ocean. Both have a deep understanding of the ocean and its rhythms, allowing them to take you on an unparalleled fishing adventure. With over 30 years of experience, Lance has a unique perspective on fishing, having spent time fishing in various parts of the Pacific. Britt, on the other hand, grew up in Hanalei on the North Shore of Kauai, and his passion for fishing started at a young age. He has been in the water ever since he was born and has been fishing and surfing around the island. With his extensive experience and knowledge of the local waters, he is well-equipped to take you on a thrilling fishing adventure.
