The “Mele Kai” was custom designed by Wild Bill after 30 years in the fishing charter business.  Built in Australia, our sport fishing charter boat that is made to handle the Hawaiian waters and cater to the customers’ needs.

The 41 foot “Mele Kai” is a power cat (double-hulled) custom designed vessel with extra deck space to ensure maximum fishing room.  Our boat even has a spacious flybridge for panoramic views of the Hawaiian waters, wildlife and beautiful shores of Kauai.  She has two staterooms with queen-sized beds and a bathroom with a full shower and water.  The salon features spacious seating, a convenient dining area, and a complete sound system.  All this is surrounded by plenty of windows for those beautiful Kauai views.

The “Mele kai” has a spacious bridge with plenty of room for all to sit up with the captain, if weather permits.  The entire boat provides a wonderful view of Kauai and a bird’s eye view of all the Kauai fishing action.

Our Sport Fishing Charters feature a drug and alcohol-free crew.  We believe only the customers should be enjoying their beer. Feel free to bring your own refreshments, only in cans or plastic bottles please!  Beer is OK.
