Sport Fishing in Hawaii since 1950: Inter Island Sportfishing was established over 50 years ago by John and Ed DeRego, fishing aboard the boat Stella Maris (Star of the Sea). Over the years, several boats have been retired and replaced by our current “fleet” of four boats; the one and only Maggie Joe, everybody’s favorite Sea Hawk, fast and fancy, and our newest addition Ruckus, are all now available for charter on Oahu!
