Family Fishing

Easy Fishing. Big Smiles. Lasting Memories.

Light tackle, calm waters, and a comfortable boat. A perfect Big Island ocean adventure for families, beginners, and anyone looking for a relaxed day on the water.

Fishing Fun for All Ages

Halcyon II offers a relaxed, welcoming experience for families who want to spend time together on the water — no pressure, no rough seas, just the joy of fishing in paradise. With calm conditions and an experienced, family-friendly crew, it’s an ideal choice for kids, beginners, or anyone who prefers a slower pace and lots of smiles.

Why It’s Great for Families:

• Calm seas and short runs to the fishing grounds
• Comfortable seating and shaded spaces
• Onboard restroom for peace of mind
• Light tackle that’s fun and easy to handle
• Friendly crew who love helping kids catch their first fish
• Private charter — just your crew, no shared trips
  

Laid-Back Fishing. Plenty of Action.

Family charters focus on nearshore bottom fishing. It’s a relaxed and engaging way to reel in colorful reef species and small game fish. You won’t be heading far offshore, and the conditions are typically calm and enjoyable.



We tailor the experience to your group. Want to let the kids reel everything in? Prefer to cast a line yourself and relax? Either way, the crew will make it simple and fun.

Typical Highlights:

• 
  
• Light tackle bottom fishing near reefs and drop-offs
• Catches may include snapper, wrasse, jacks, goatfish, and other reef species
• No experience needed — the crew will guide and assist every step of the way
  

Comfort, Shade, and Room to Relax

Halcyon II was built for both serious fishing and serious comfort. Families love the spacious layout, shaded seating, and smooth ride. Whether you’re reeling in your first catch or watching from the flybridge, you’ll have space to move and places to chill.

Onboard Comforts:

• Covered seating areas to stay cool and dry
• Comfortable open salon with padded benches
• Restroom onboard (a big win for little ones)
• Stable ride with less bounce than small open boats
• Plenty of room for snacks, gear, and lounging between bites
  

Patient, Friendly, and Great With First-Timers

Captain Keith Robinson has been fishing these waters since 1981, but what really sets him apart is how he connects with guests — especially families. He’s a parent and grandparent who understands the difference between “catching” and “having a great day.”

He keeps things relaxed, makes sure everyone feels comfortable, and takes the time to show beginners the ropes. With Keith at the helm, it’s not just about fishing. It’s about making memories on the water.
