Blue Ocean Hawaii

Amazing time with Captain Neil, Mason and Esteban!Super friendly and really helped the kids out a lot! We ended up having the boat to ourselves too which was awesome. We lucked out with having perfect weather. There was a point where everyone caught a fish at the same time, by the time I got my phone out, I had a fish on! Again, everyone was super friendly and helpful and everyone was great with the kids. Could not have asked for a better fishing day out on the boat

If I could give negative stars I would. I received an impersonal AUTOMATED cancellation less than 24 hrs before my 7:30am fishing trip via email. No follow up, no offer to reschedule, NOTHING. I called, emailed, and texted, and to this date no response, NO APOLOGY. NO REFUND. NOTHING. I was a responsible traveler and booked 2 weeks ago, but obviously everything is booked up now. We are leaving in 3 days so we have no chance at all to find a fishing trip. Not that Blue Ocean tried to help connect us with anyone or offered any alternatives. UNPROFESSIONAL, UNCARING, IMPERSONAL, NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO FOLLOW UP WHATSOVER. I totally understand stuff happens and totally understand if a boat needs unexpected repairs, but it is what they did or rather did not do after which makes this the type of business one tourists should stay away from. If you read other reviews, this is not their first cancellation or repair problem. When you look at Blue Ocean as a whole, you see A PATTERN OF IRRESPONSIBLE BUSINESS BEHAVIOR. FELLOW TOURISTS, IF YOU WANT TO ROLL THE DICE AND RISK NO FISHING TRIP FOR YOUR TIME IN HAWAII, CHOOSE BLUE OCEAN. STEER CLEAR OF BLUE OCEAN CUZ they sure will steer clear of you with their automated, last minute cancellation and no response after they take your money.I love how their automated email says their earliest availability is july 26 if i want to call them to reschedule but their website clearly shows availability before. this business is super fishy. pictures attached.

We have such a wonderful time with Blue Ocean Hawaii's bottom fishing boat trip! Very kids and family friendly. The fishing trip that we booked is 3 hours bottom fishing. And they picked us up in a spot close to our hotel in a shuttle. And our captain, Warren, is very friendly and knowledgable. The ride was very smooth. I was a bit scared that I may get seasick. Not at all. Definitely a very smooth ride. We went fishing in about 4/5 spot. Warren would stop and let us fish for a while then move to another fishing spot. We got to keep the bigger one and let go of the little one. Everyone got fish in our party. My son even got 4!! It's a wonderful trip to so in Waikiki for sure. As for the fish that we got, warren cleaned and cooked it for us! Not the best tasty fish, but definitely fresh!!I will recommend this trip to anyone for sure!

3hours fishing trip. Worst any kind of fishing ever. Don't waste time and money. You will not get the fishing experience, new or experienced fishermen. Inexperienced deckhand. 0 star.

This was a fun little trip. It is good for families, kids, and any experienced angler looking to check a few new fish off of their list. The crew was nice, and the boat was clean. I've been trying to get my wife to go fishing with me for a while, and she ended up catching her first (and sixth) fish on the Tortuga. When we are back in Hawaii, we will do it again.

Had a great experience fishing with Blue Ocean. They were great and informative on what fish when caught was allowed to keep / get eaten and which ones are obviously a catch and release after a quick photo. They cooked up a few of the ones we caught that planned to eat it there and let others take some home. We were lucky and were out on a good day that pretty much every caught a few fishes each. Highly recommend this for anyone that wants a nice quick fishing trip out in the ocean.

Avoid - tourist trap right outside the hotel!Probably best to find another spot away from the tourist area.

The staff was great and friendly but do not expect to come home with any fish. The fish you are working for are basically aquarium fish and nothing you could bring home to eat. The boat was clean and nice and equipment worked well but definitely wish there was more detail on what we were catching or trying to catch. Fishing was slow and only fished inland in about 20' of water with small hooks. Was expecting the ultimate fishing experience and basically got a boat trip to small aquarium fish. Do not recommend for avid sportsman as this will disappoint

Had a great adventure bottom fishing and trolling with Captain Neil and Estaban. On the Tourtouga!

Este and Captain Neil were great! Super friendly crew that were attentive to everyone onboard. Everyone caught at least one fish while we were out on the boat and maybe a reef or two. 10/10 experience and would do another cruise on the Tortuga for a morning family fishing trip.
