Private Kona Cowboy fishing charter on Hawaii’s Big Island with Capt. Gaige—trolling for blue marlin, mahi mahi, and tuna in a 35’ Bertram.
“Awesome experience I would definitely recommend going with Captain Gaige on the Kona cowboy he was friendly and definitely knew how to catch fish.”
Half-day Kona Cowboy fishing charter in Kailua-Kona: private up to four, Capt. Shawn guides you, gear and ice cooler included.
“Had an amazing experience with Captain Shawn, he was a true professional through and through. Made adjustments on the fly to make sure that we had a successful trip and set himself far apart from all of the other boats on the water. Everyone else got to watch as we constantly were pulling in fish.”
Kona’s Bite Me Sportfishing shared 4-hour charter for a small group, with gear provided and crew coaching, but catch is never guaranteed.
“Captain and mate very knowledgeable and really tried to catch fish. Fishing is a tough business and we did catch a small one”
Private Kona 6-hour fishing charter for up to 4 anglers. Tell the crew your target, use IGFA tackle, and get all gear plus ice.
“They were super professional and polite. We are a family that is comfortable being outside and they were super mellow about us all being up top. Ryan, the deck hand, was almost more excited about us ALMOST snagging a huge blue marlin. He was very excited about our catch, the meat quality and size, which made it super fun! I have done other fishing guides who shuffle you off to get your catch cut up for a big price. I was a little surprised and happy that they simply tossed it on the table and began cutting it up. We also chatted about recipes and other things to do on…”
Private Kona deep-sea fishing on Bite Me 4 from Honokohau. Equipment and cooler included; bring food, get taught, catch game fish.
“Giving my son and daughters the opportunitie to go deep sea fishing and of course catch something intesting like we did so a Spear fish 74” long. My son cached. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing great work experience. Thank you Jacob and Ron great guys”
Private 5-hour Kona fishing charter for up to 5, with all tackle and cold drinks included, trolling for marlin and seasonal pelagics.
“This had to be the coolest fishing trip anyone could have made! Worth every penny and then some. Captain Brent and Rooster were on point making us feel comfortable with everything. And everyone was stoked with the giant marlin that we caught. Then a couple of Mahi Mahi to sweeten the day! Thanks for the best day out of the whole vacation!!”
Private half-day Kona fishing charter from Kailua-Kona with all gear and ice. One price for up to six, English-speaking crew.
“The crew was friendly, but the experience was a huge letdown compared to the presentation. The photos of successful catches felt like a gross exaggeration once we boarded and were finally told there was a 50% chance of catching zero fish. It is also not an active trip; the crew handles the gear entirely unless something bites. Because nothing bit, we spent four miserable hours seasick in the cabin, never touching a reel. It was merely an expensive, nauseating boat ride. They need to be brutally honest about the very high probability that you will pay to just sit and do nothing.”
A private 6-hour Kona fishing charter from Kailua-Kona with all tackle included, big-game trolling options, and winter whale chances.
“Super exciting experience with the crew! Dean and Logan were both super knowledgeable and easy to converse with. The trip was slow until the last 30 mins where we caught a good sized wahoo and 250LB Marlin back to back. Made it all worth it and then some!”
Private Kona fishing and snorkel charter for up to 10. Gear provided, captain coaching, and a cooler on board for a smooth Big Island day.
“Our crew was very helpful and taught us basic deep sea fishing skills. They were very friendly and entertained us while we waiting for fish to bite. When pilot whales were spotted they took us to the area to watch. Highly recommend this company!”
A private 8-hour Kona trolling charter with all tackle provided, expert coaching, and big-game fishing off Kailua-Kona’s deep-blue waters.
Private Kona charter on OE II for bigeye tuna and spearfish plus snorkel time. Bring lunch and split the group price.
“Best fishing charter yet! Brian and cam are definitely the guys I want to go with again! Saw pilot whales, tons of porpoise and a sea turtle at the end! Not to mention the fish!! Got one beautiful tuna and 2 marlin at the same time but lost one! Definitely worth the full day! Cam, you the man! Thanks for helping get that big fish in”
Private Kona deep-sea charter on Bite Me 6 for up to 6: tackle and ice included, chase marlin and tuna, dolphins possible, ~4 hours.
“I can’t thank the crew enough for going above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing trip. It was our 16y/o first time deal sea fishing and we didn’t want anything big so we requested more of bottom fishing and that’s exactly what we got! They did amazing and it was a blast for all of us and they kept us busy for a full day! ! Mahalo!”
Private Kona half-day cruise for snorkeling near Captain Cook Bay, fishing time, and often dolphin sightings, with a flexible captain and optional sunset ride.
“Had so much fun on the water yesterday with Kevin and Mahina! Kevin was so knowledgeable about all things fish and islands. We got to some great snorkel spots, saw a lot of beautiful fish and reef, and saw a pod of dolphins swimming right next to the boat. They provided great lunch and drinks (the fresh sourdough was amazing). They were so easy to book and talk with about trip details. I will definitely be back!”
