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!”
