Since 1972, Captain Dave Hudson has helmed Finest Kind Sportfishing, Maui’s only third-generation, owner-operated charter company. Launching from Lahaina Harbor, his seasoned crew guides anglers to chase prized pelagic species like blue marlin, yellowfin tuna (ahi), mahi-mahi, and wahoo (ono). Their fleet includes the classic 37-foot Merritt, Finest Kind, and two tournament-equipped 35-foot Bertrams, Reel Hooker and Exact II, all outfitted with top-tier Shimano and Penn gear.
Finest Kind offers both private and shared charters ranging from four to ten hours. Private trips accommodate up to six guests, while shared trips allow individuals to join others. The crew provides bait, tackle, and ice; guests bring their own food and drinks (no glass containers). Notably, the team cleans and fillets your catch at no extra charge, ensuring you can savor your fresh fish during your stay.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to deep-sea fishing, Finest Kind Sportfishing delivers an authentic Hawaiian adventure. With decades of local knowledge and a commitment to excellence, they strive to make every trip memorable. Book your excursion today and experience the thrill of fishing Maui’s abundant waters.
