The Die Hard crew

Chapter 07 · The Crew

Who's on
the boat.

30+ years fishing these waters. The captain is eager to show you everything we know about them and the fish that call them home.

01 · Owner

Captain Fuzzy

40+ years on the water

Born and raised on Maui. Nine years a US Marine, then worked his way up from deckhand to owning his own fishing company in Lahaina, until his boat was lost to the Lahaina fires. He rebuilt the operation here on Oʻahu to keep doing what he loves, putting locals and travelers on the catch of a lifetime, year-round, on sustainably caught Hawaiian fish.

02 · Business Partner

Reece M.

Operations · the Oʻahu rebuild

Reece runs the operation alongside Fuzzy: bookings, the boat, the crew, the standard. If you're texting the number on the site, odds are it lands with her first.

03 · Captain

Captain Ikaika

Lifelong Oʻahu waterman

Ikaika has been fishing Oʻahu waters his whole life. Knows every ledge, every current line, every season. Calm on the wheel, dialed in on the bite.

04 · Crew

Tyler

Five years on the deck

Five years working these waters. Sharp hands, good instincts, and always moving when the cockpit gets loud.

05 · First Mate

First Mate Kaito K.

Lines · lures · the gaff

Kaito works the cockpit: rigging baits, clearing lines, swinging the gaff. The guy you'll be standing next to when the reel screams.

    "Monster Mahi"

    Did the 10 hr trip and caught 5 fish including an absolute Donkey of a Mahi. Saw quite a few other fish playing in the spread that wouldn't bite solid. We had Zach, Kaito, and Isiah for a crew and they were awesome. Always busy minding the spread, changing lures/baits and making sure we hooked up the bites. Book with these guys, you won't be disappointed.

    "Great day out!"

    We knew headed out the fishing was hit or miss. The Captain went out of his way to find the spot and he did!! Our deckhand had everything ready and waiting for when we did! We caught 5 skip jack tuna (aku). Deckhand was great getting us in chair and fish on board once we got it there. Highly recommend!

    "Amazing Day"

    My son and I had a trip of a lifetime on our 10-hour fishing trip with Captain Fuzzy and Deckhand Jerry. We are avid anglers from Alaska, and have caught big salmon and halibut. Fighting and catching TWO Blue Marlin was phenomenal and an experience like none other. Memories of a lifetime were made, and any day on the boat is a great day!
