A Gift From The Ocean
Private Whale Watching & Fishing Charters | Haleiwa Harbor — North Shore Oahu
Experience the magic of True Hawaii with North Shore's most intimate charter experience.
Maximum 6 guests. Never crowded. Always unforgettable.
True Hawaii. Truly Private
Most visitors to Hawaii see the islands from a resort pool or a crowded tour bus. We'd like to show you something different.
Bob Marlin Charters offers private whale watching and fishing charters departing Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's legendary North Shore — far from the tourist crowds of Waikiki, where the ocean is wild, the coastline is breathtaking, and the marine life will leave you speechless.
This is not a boat tour. This is a gift from the ocean.
Whale watching tour
Join Captain GE — UH marine biologist and 7-year North Shore whale researcher — for Oahu's most intimate whale watching experience. Hear their songs through our onboard hydrophone. Watch them breach from the upper viewing bridge of our luxury vessel. Max 6 guests. Always private. Never crowded.
Sightings GUARANTEED early January through mid April.
fishing charter
Private deep sea fishing charters year-round from Haleiwa Harbor. Target mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, blue marlin and more with our expert local captains — lifetime watermen who know these North Shore waters better than anyone.
Half day and full day options available.
Full Day excursion
Can't choose between whale watching and fishing? Don't. Our full day custom charter lets you do it all — wildlife encounters, scenic cruising, fishing, and whatever the ocean has in store. Fully private, fully personalized, fully unforgettable.
