| Wanna have a blast? Wanna relax? Wanna catch fish? (Yeah, that's what you really want!) Come visit the crew of the Hula Girl. This family has fishing in its blood and is now in its third generation. The most experienced captain, Jack Westrick (pictured left) operated the first Hula Girl beginning in 1962. Jack is quite retired now, but many days you can still catch him on the deck of the Hula Girl helping out Steve (pictured right) and Jason (pictured center). Steve started as the deckhand for Jack at the ripe old age of 8 years (Boy, Jack must have had some patience). Now, Steve is in the well over 40 crowd and has his own son, Jason as the present deckhand. Jason has deckhanded in the summers since he was 13 years old. Believe it or not, he's 26 now, a graduate of Central Washington University, and also the proud owner of his own captain's license which he earned in the Spring of '05. |  |

About the boat: This is actually the third Hula Girl. As we moved up each time we just renamed the vessel to Hula Girl. The current boat has been the Hula girl since 1982. It is a modern 50 foot fiberglass twin screw with plenty of ponies (Deere) to get us there. During the winter of 2000-2001 the Hula Girl was completely refitted with brand new John Deere engines - smooth running and very quiet with a cruising speed of 16 to 18 knots. You can feel confident and comfortable to know you're riding on the most up to date technology available in the marine industry. We also have state of the art electronics which are the fish's worst nightmare! On salmon and bottom fish trips she can accommodate up to 25 fishers. On specialty trips for halibut we carry up to 15 and overnight tuna capacity is 10 passengers. The Hula has 12 volt and 110 electricity throughout, a heated cabin and microwave oven for your convenience. There are 2 heads available (mens & womens) and also 10 individual bunks below deck that are used on the overnight tuna trips.
