Bite Me – Ocean Encounters
Join Bite Me Sportfishing for the ultimate large group Kona sportfishing experience. Ocean Encounters is one of the only boats fishing out of the island that can take over six people – don’t miss out!
Ocean Encounters, the 46’ Delta classic boat, has plenty of space. Featuring a large upper deck with incredible views of the island and the surrounding waters. Whether you want to cruise, sightsee, or just fish, you and your friends will find what you need here.
The boat comes fitted with amenities such as a GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio, and there is also a fighting chair on deck for a big game battle. You will also find a toilet on board – a most welcome addition for anglers who don’t want to interrupt their time on the water!
On board, you will be provided with all the equipment you need for your trip. Whether you want to snorkel or battle a Mahi Mahi, the crew will sort you out with all the necessary gear. We do request that you book at least a 6 hour trip if you would like to enjoy a fishing/snorkeling combo to maximize your experience. Let our experienced Captains guide you along the Kona Coast on this sportfishing adventure and/or take you to one of the many beautiful reefs to snorkel at. All you have to bring is a sense of fun and adventure!
Enjoy the beautiful Kona Coast as you fish and have a real bonding experience. Fishing trips aboard Ocean Encounters will involve trolling with 5 lines in the water, so everyone on board may have the chance to reel in a fish (depending on group size). Although the boat can hold up to 30 guests, fishing trips are best with a maximum of 10-15 people.
Once you return to the dock, any fish you caught will be cleaned and filleted for you to take some with you to enjoy.
Make the most of this unique opportunity to fish with Bite Me – Ocean Encounters. Book now before it’s too late!

3/4 Day Trip – Private
Wonderful family fishing and snorkel trip
We had an absolutely wonderful day fishing and snorkeling with Captain Momi and first mate JJ. We caught two large fish which was great but Momi and JJ also made sure our two small children had a nice time as well. While snorkeling, they both free dove and scooped up interesting creatures from the ocean floor for our kids to explore. Momi was able to find an octopus which they got to touch and play with, which was probably the highlight for them of our entire trip. The boat was very comfortable and good quality fishing and snorkeling gear.

Fishing with Capt Curtis and Kayin
Awesome morning out on the water! We were a group of 6 adults and 5 kids (4 months to 9 years). Had some bites, saw dolphins (not always a good thing when fishing), caught our dinner, and made memories! Capt Curtis and Kayin were both great. Can't wait to do it again

Absolutely slamming day! We covered maybe 60 miles of Ocean. We had doubles hooked up twice. The crew worked extremely hard and were wonderful with my kids. We went home with 3 Wahoo and a Tuna. Do your family a favor and book this trip!
