The Boat

Reel Addiction III is the largest charter fishing boat in the fleet as well as one of the fastest here on Oahu with speeds over 40 mph. It is a 62’ Oceans yacht that has twin Caterpillar motors with two generators. We carry 300 gallons of fresh water. The flybridge is air-conditioned and enclosed. It has three staterooms and three full baths. It also has a huge cockpit with lots of fishing room.

The Best fishing charter on Oahu on the open sea with a mountainous landscape in the background and a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Sea keeper

We added the revolutionary Sea Keeper 16 gyro stabilizing system that eliminates over 80% of the roll. This allows us to fish comfortably when many other boats will not go out. Once someone fishes on a boat with a Sea Keeper they will not want to fish without one. The Sea Keeper makes it a completely different and better experience.
