Malihini

Special place in my heart as this was the first ocean trip I ever went on.  VERY LARGE boat and on the weekends when the weather is nice, fully packed.  You will get tangled up, but this happens on pretty much every boat… The crew were pretty involved in keeping us out of trouble and I managed my first few rock fish and a lingcod on my first ever trip.

 

New Seaforth

Another of my favorites.  Usually carries a much lighter load and can be good on the AM or PM 1/2 day fishing trips.  I always prefer the morning AM trip if I have a choice. I still seem to get the best bite at daybreak. You can sometimes get a good bite on the evening trips if you have a good tide swing.
