Regulations and licenses
Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources. Synced with DLNR DAR Oct 31, 2026.
Hawaii residents need no license for recreational marine fishing. Nonresidents 15 and older need a Nonresident Recreational Marine Fishing License, sold only online (active-duty military and their minor children are exempt). Hawaii is not on NOAA's list of states exempt from the National Saltwater Angler Registry, so residents fishing federal waters from a private or rental boat may need to register with NOAA.
No reviewed rules are on file for Hawaii yet. Check the regulator's page before you keep a fish.
