Camelot Sportfishing operates out of the famous fishing town of Kona, one of the most renowned sites for big game sportfishing in the world. Marlin, Spearfish, Ono (Wahoo) Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), and more are waiting in the deep waters just offshore, ready to give anglers the fight of their life.

Captain Robert has been running charters in the area of over 40 years and is widely recognized as one of the most experienced captains in the area. Captain Robert and his son Chris have competed in and won countless tournaments, and the Camelot crew have built a reputation for getting clients hooked on unbelievable catches.

The “Camelot” is a 34’ Bayliner sportfishing boat, which was completely overhauled in 2015 and now comes ready for action, armed with everything you will need for some world-class sportfishing. She also has plenty of luxuries to keep you comfortable in between hook-ups.

The vessel is equipped with GPS and fishfinder to get you in prime position. She boasts a wide variety of lures and a livewell bursting with bait, as well as custom Tuna tubes to tempt in real big game beasts. Her Penn downriggers and custom outriggers will let you find your target, wherever it is lurking.

Camelot Sportfishing is a family-run, family-friendly business, which welcomes anglers of all ages aboard. Captain Robert and his world-class crew will be happy to teach beginners the tricks and techniques which have made them so successful in the Island’s tournaments. They will also confidently guide the most seasoned anglers to their personal best.

All trips come with tackle, bait, and lures. You do not need a fishing license in Hawaii, so all you have to bring is sunscreen. The crew will even clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day, ready to take home and enjoy - you will definitely have worked up an appetite!

Hawaii short nose spearfish ??️??
Half Day Trip - Private (PM) on July 8, 20232 adults
Michael and I arrived super early to the harbor, it was still dark outside but the crew was already there and getting the boat ready for us. We watched the sunrise as we coasted, it was so beautiful and relaxing!!! I reeled in a ShortNose Spearfish, a rare encounter and only in Hawaii do you see these fish if your lucky enough! He was huge!!! ?? Watching our awesome crew filet it up my mouth started to water, the colors on that fish are beautiful! We are cooking it tonight with my best friend who just recently moved to Hawaii ?? it’s going to be a big Feast!!!! Thank you for the wonderful experience, we will definitely be back for a full day next time! Aloha

Thank you Camelot
Full Day Trip on July 18, 20242 adults
We had a really great trip fishing with Camelot. I’ve tried other charters at Kona and never have had such a good experience. Caption Lael and James went above and beyond to show my son and I a fantastic time. We got a bite from a large Marlin and my son caught a large ocean tip shark. They also hooked a Mahi Mahi but it jumped off. All in all it was the best time we’ve had fishing in Kona and we will come back to Camelot!

Great experience, Nice boat ride.
3/4 Day Trip on June 17, 20243 adults
It was a nice 6 hr boat ride but zero fishing action. Calm water, beautiful sky, the crew, Lincoln and Maki were great. Just didn’t result in anything more than an expensive boat ride. I understand that it’s fishing and nothing is guaranteed, but still disappointed.

Full Day Trip on July 13, 20212 adults
My husband, son and I had a blast fishing with the crew of Camelot Sport Fishing! We fished a whole day and caught a Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Yellow Fin Tuna. Worth it to spend the whole day on the water! We had a great time chatting with the crew, learning more about the Island and fishing style. We felt safe having our young son on the boat (he might have been good luck), the crew provided a lite snack but encouraged bringing our own food and beverages! We’d take a trip with this company and crew again and would recommend them to others! Fish on…
