Kona, Hawaii is often referred to as the Marlin Capital of the World. One of our experienced captains will lead charters of up to six anglers per trip.

Fishing Charters

Enjoy big game fishing for Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi on a tournament winning yacht. Light tackle trips for Ulua, Barracuda, Skipjack and Amberjack can also be arranged. Let the captain know what kind of fishing you want to do. Fishing tackle from 30 lb. to 130 lb. test is available.

You may take some of your catch back with you after your trip and our crew will gladly fillet and package it for you. We DO NOT cut any Ahi (yellowfin tuna), Mah-Mahi, Ono and Spearfish over 30 lbs and we DO NOT fillet large marlin. We encourage catch & release of all Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin and Sailfish.

 

Whale Watching/Sightseeing Excursions

Whale BreachingThe months of January thru March are generally the best time to view the beautiful migration of the Humpback Whales. This private tour allows our guests to enjoy the experience and grandeur of these magnificent mammals in the privacy of their own vessel. We recommend a 4 hour tour for this trip so that our guests can hopefully view various pods.

Sightseeing excursions are available year round and offer an entirely different perspective of the beautiful Kona coastline and the brilliant blue Pacific Ocean. These tours can be taken any time of the day but a sunset cruise is one you will not soon forget.
