The Thrill of Big Game Fishing

Kona is world-renowned for its big game fishing, and blue marlin are among the most sought-after prizes. These massive predators can weigh over a thousand pounds and put up a fight that passionate anglers dream of. Although they are found in waters worldwide, Kona is considered one of the best places to fish for blue marlin. Thanks to the warm waters, blue marlin can be found here year-round. However, the best time for marlin fishing is typically from May to September. During this time of year, the fish are most active. If you’re lucky enough to land a big blue marlin, you’ll have a story to tell for years to come. So what are you waiting for? Head to Kona for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are we allowed to keep what we catch?

While we love catching blue marlin on our charter trips, we prefer to release them back into the wild in order to promote their conservation. However, you're more than welcome to take home any other delicious fish we catch on our trips, including mahi-mahi and yellowfin tuna! We'll even clean and package your catch for you, so all you have to do is prepare a fantastic meal. Of course, you get to keep what you catch, but anything over 50lbs usually goes back to the boat (at the captain's discretion).
What can we expect to catch on our charter?
We target the following species on our fishing charters:
- Blue Marlin
- Striped Marlin
- Mahi Mahi
- Wahoo
- Spearfish
- Tuna (skipjack, big eye & yellowfin)
*If you have specific angling goals, be sure to let us know prior to your charter!
Can we bring alcohol?

Absolutely! We even supply an ice cooler to keep your drinks chilled. We just ask that you please drink responsibly and leave the glass containers at home.
