Reserve now and you can fish with the best! Start Me Up operates a fleet of tournament-equipped 37 foot Bertrams.

She has a fishfinder, GPS, auto pilot, twin control stations, an air conditioned cabin, refrigerators, and 2 color TVs/VCRs.
Their rates are no more expensive than other fishing charters on Maui, but they are very popular and advanced reservations before arriving on Maui are a must! We recommend that you book at least three weeks in advance. Start Me Up has a great success rate, and part of this is because they leave Lahaina Harbor very early. This enables them to get to the productive fishing buoys ahead of many other boats, which increases productivity.
Private charters are limited to 6 passengers per boat … since they have more than one boat they can handle larger parties of 12 or 18 but only if their schedule for the day is completely open.
Fishing charters in Hawaii traditionally keep the fish that are caught as a part of the crew compensation, but Start Me Up allows guests to keep as much fish as they would like … with the promise that you will put the fish to good use and not waste it. You may keep the whole fish. They charge a nominal cleaning fee if you’d like them to fillet the fish for you.
