At Kewalo Sport Fishing, our mission is to provide unforgettable charter boat fishing experiences. We focus on delivering exceptional service while ensuring a fun and safe environment for all our guests.
Captain Mike grew up fishing and hunting in Kansas and discovered his true calling on the waters of Hawaii after moving here following high school. He began charter fishing in 1988 and has since built a career spanning more than three decades, fishing professionally across the Hawaiian Island chain—from the Big Island to Midway Atoll—as well as in Palmyra, Alaska, and Guatemala.
Join Capt Mike and experience the excitement of deep-sea fishing in Hawaii. With over 30 years of professional expertise, Captain Mike Strait leads daily charters out of Honolulu’s Kewalo Basin, guiding anglers of all levels in the pursuit of billfish, tuna ('ahi), wahoo ('ono), and mahimahi. Families with young children are welcome too—we offer light tackle and bottom-fishing options to keep the adventure fun and accessible. Cap off your trip with a refreshing swim in Hawaii’s crystal-clear waters before cruising back to the harbor. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or a first-time guest, our crew is dedicated to helping you reel in memories that will last a lifetime.
