Paragon II at Molokini
Rating: 
*how we rate vendors
Rated #1 Molokini Snorkel Boat
In a nutshell: These guys really know how to sail!
Minuses: Food is a lower priority than beer. (Maybe that’s a plus?!?”)
Sound-bite: “They raised the sails quickly and we were soon traveling at 20 knots!”
| Summary They do a lot of real sailing, which sets them above the competition who mostly rely on motors to get around. |

Screen capture of 315# Pacific Blue Marlin (see video below)
Rating:
In a nutshell: Hard-core sportfishing.
Minuses: 3:00
Sound-bite: “Hey mister, is that a Florida Marlins logo on that-there baseball bat?”
DETAILS:
Alright, first of all this isn’t a trip for the kids. These are die-hard fishermen willing to take along the serious angler who isn’t interested in going halfway.
Captain Fuzzy Alboro is a well known, born and raised Maui fisherman and many come here seeking him out by name. Fuzzy knows where to go and when to go. (Speaking of when, you’ll be leaving before anyone else – at 3:00 AM…Continue Reading

Luckey Strike Charters
Last updated 14. Jul, 2011 by Mark.
Rating:
This is a great option for a mellow trip. Luckey takes a completely different angle than our #1 rated (and aptly named) Die Hard Sportishing – these guys specialize in a more casual (and also upscale on the Real Luckey) trip. They’re all about fun first, and welcome both newcomers and experienced fishermen. Great option for families.
