What to Expect
The crew will meet you at Pier F (Front-Row Pier) at 5:45 a.m. to collect payment (cash or credit card) in the Wild Bunch office/booth. We will then escort you to the boat at Pier B.
Pier F (Front Row) and Pier A (Second Row) will be under construction until approximately May 2019 (we will update the website when construction is complete, and we are back in the Front Row). However, we will still meet customers in the Front Row, at the booth.
The Wild Bunch departs from its slip on Pier B in Kewalo Harbor at 6:00 a.m. Kewalo Harbor is just a short taxi/Uber/Lyft ride from Waikiki. We are easily found using Google Maps; just punch in "Wild Bunch Sport Fishing."
Parking: Park in the lot nearest to Diamond Head, on the east end. The cost is $1/hour, payable by cash or credit card. Use the Parking machines to get a receipt, and place the receipt on your dash. You can also pay for parking on-line (instructions are located at the pay machines app.calltopark.com Location: Kewalo Basin #139873)
Bring your own food and drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Please, no glass containers or bananas. There is a microwave in our clean, comfortable and air-conditioned cabin, and we will keep your food cold in the giant built-in cooler. Children and families are welcome!
All fishing gear, tackle and bait are included, and you do not need a fishing license.

Fish Policy
The crew and boat keep all fish over 100 lbs., and will gladly filet and split 50-50 any fish up to 100 lbs. with all passengers. Our goal is to catch as many fish as possible, and send our customers home with a bag of fish. Large fish must remain intact in order to be sold at the local fish auction (second busiest in the world!), which provides fish to island restaurants and stores. Hawaii state law prohibits the crew from selling any cut fish. We understand that you may be unfamiliar with this type of fish policy, and we are happy to answer any questions for clarification or curiosity. We also cannot guarantee that you will catch a fish.
