Bite Me Sportfishing is ready to take you on a Hawaii fishing trip you will want to tell your friends about! Longing to get a taste of a place where numerous records have been made? Want to try your hand at catching your very own monster? Hoping to do all this in the presence of a polite, warm, and knowledgeable crew? Look no further.

Bite Me 3 is a glamorous 40' Egg Harbor boat that is perfect for medium-sized groups of friends or family. A comfortable vessel to spend the day aboard, it features a Kona Open cockpit that has been lovingly decked out with comfortable leather couches. The shady flybridge is perfect for scanning the horizon for huge Marlins, while inside you will find a private restroom with a shower.

Step on the deck, and you will understand why Bite Me Sportfishing has been voted 'Best of Hawaii' for many years in a row. You will find a full-sized Murray Brothers fighting chair waiting for you, as well as Rupp tournament-grade outriggers and tuna tubes in case you are fishing with bait.

Your tackle will be rigged and waiting for you, and it won't disappoint. The crew has a range of Penn International reels for medium to heavy tackle fishing, as well as Shimano TLD Graphite reels for light tackle. Let them show you how to catch the prized fish of the area – they will even fillet catch at the end of the day so you can have a taste.

Which brings us on to the fishing. There's a reason why Kona is famous for its big game fishing, and the Bite Me fleet is located just minutes away from some of the best Marlin grounds out there. But you won't only be looking for Marlin: Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and Spearfish are also common catches on these trips.

This charter is frequently booked – don't miss out on securing your spot today. Join Bite Me Sportfishing for your new Hawaiian adventure!

freaking awesome!
Half Day Trip — Shared - 10:30 AM on July 17, 20262 adults

We were on a shared charter, so unfortunately, my boy and I didn’t hook up anything when it was our turn, but we still had an awesome time and the other people on our trip who we did not know before the trip caught about 160 pound yellowfin tuna. It was freaking awesome, and the captain and the other people were nice enough to share some of the meet with us. Next year I’m booking a private charter. And if you book with these guys ask for Brad. He’s freaking cool, knows where the fish are, and made it a memorable experience for us.. Mahalo Brad and your first mate!

We had a great day out on the water today! Thanks for going above ans beyond and for all the support getting my son into fishing! We had a blast out on the water and although we didn’t catch anything today, we will be back to try again! My son was stoked to see the gear, set up and be out with captain and crew. Thanks again guys. Was a great day!

Great day! Captain Momi and her crew (Jimmy & Madison) were wonderful hosts. While waiting for our bite (caught a blue marlin about 2 hours into our trip) we learned SO much about the local marine life, safe fishing practices and concerns local fishers and boaters have. We appreciated the hands on experience and how welcome the crew made us feel. Will recommend to anyone I know going to Kona!

Good Tuna
Half Day Trip — Shared - 10:30 AM on May 26, 20262 adults

The boat met us on the dock on time for our 10:30 trip. The earlier group had no bites, so our 5 guests didn’t expect any strikes. Our captain was in communication with other boats & read the signs of a fish grouping, so we caught 2 skipjack tuna. Our deckhand was efficient & excellent, fine experience for a relatively bare bones trip (we bought our own drinks & snacks)

My husbandand I had a great time with the bite me crew. We did get moved to Bite Me 4 but the chage was well in advance and we informed promptly. I would bring some Dramamine if you aren’t in the ocean a lot! The crew worked quickly and tried multiple spots so that we would have our best chance of catching something. The filets were clean too!
