FAQs [ show ]
Would you recommend the trip for non-fishermen?
Start Me Up is a high-end vessel, with an air-conditioned cabin, bathroom, TV, VCR, and well-equipped galley. Non-fishing passengers will find it very comfortable. The scenery is spectacular and a camera is recommended.
What should we bring?
You will need to arrange for food and beverages for the day. It is best to do this the night before as there's not much open early in the morning. We'd be happy to put you in touch with a caterer who can prepare a nice deli lunch for you and your party for the trip. We will supply all the ice and fishing gear.
Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT need a fishing license to go sportfishing.
Oh, and don't forget your sunscreen, and and/or sunglasses, camera and other personal items!
And, of course, any “lucky charms” you may choose to bring with you will not be discouraged.
Do we get to keep the fish we catch?
In Hawaii, it is customary to leave the majority of the fish with the boat, though our captain and crew will frequently
cut up enough fish for you and your party to enjoy a sumptuous seafood dinner! There are no canning/processing/shipping
facilities on Maui which makes it difficult to take a fish back home. If you are interested in getting your catch
mounted, we can arrange that for you.
What about foul weather cancellations?
On occasion, we are forced to cancel charters due to poor weather conditions. In such cases, the captain always makes
the call. We will inform you of such an occurrence as soon as possible. You WILL NOT be charged for cancellations made
by the captain. If foul weather is suspected and you are concerned, be sure to call us. We'll keep you informed of the
status of your trip.
