Blue Water Fishing Charters offers unforgettable deep-sea sport fishing adventures off Kauai’s east side, led by USCG Licensed Captain Harry Rivera. With more than 30 years of local fishing experience, Captain Harry is known for h...
Captain Harry runs a solid deep sea fishing operation out of Kauai, and the reviews paint a pretty consistent picture of an experienced captain who knows these waters well. Guests regularly come back with tuna, mahi mahi, and even marlin, and Harry earns praise for sharing his knowledge throughout the trip and going the extra mile to put people on fish even in challenging conditions. The boat is comfortable with cushioned seating, and the crew, particularly first mate Mot, gets called out for being friendly and personable. A handful of reviews mention trips where effort felt lacking and techniques weren't adjusted when fishing was slow, so it's worth keeping in mind that experience can vary. That said, the overwhelming majority of guests leave happy, and several note that booking a longer six-hour trip gives Harry more time to find the fish. The team also gets credit for proactively reaching out about weather and offering reschedules, which speaks well of how they handle the unpredictable side of ocean fishing.
Me and my Wife had a great time with captain Harry and his crew! Captain Harry was great at explaining things and his boat was set up great for people’s comfort and needs! We caught our first tuna more than once! It was a awesome experience and highly recommended for anybody
