Nasty Habit Sport Fishing is located in Kailua-Kona and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Joe will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in trolling, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Marlin, Dolphin, Wahoo, Tuna, and Spearfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Joe runs trips together with his first mate, who's there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done. You'll find free water on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

4 Hour Trip on July 2, 20265 adults1 child

We had an exceptional trip today. Captain Joe and First mate Courtney hosted us aboard their boat with grace, amazing efficiency, and friendly conversation. The boat is well maintained and exceptionally clean! The cabin space is very comfortable with big sofas, air conditioning, and all the drinks and comforts you need for a pleasant day on the water. We caught 2 fish today which is great for this season. We had some teenagers on the boat with us and the crew allowed them to handle all of the chair and rod time and gently taught them all of the proper techniques for landing big fish. We will definitely go out with this boat again.

A day well spent
4 Hour Trip on July 11, 20264 adults

My family and friend spent the day fishing with the experienced crew of the Nasty Habit. They were so great at guiding us and keeping us engaged. My youngest son has been out a few times and is yet to catch anything, but he was still happy to have gone. Captain Joe and Courtney took my sons up and showed them so many great things about the area and even some big fish tales. Although we came back empty handed we would without a doubt head out with Nasty Habit again.

6 Hour Trip on February 24, 20266 adults

Captain, crew, & boat were great. Even though the fish weren’t biting it was still a great day. Very professional and great at communicating. They changed tactics, baits, and locations trying to find fish as well as reaching out to other boats.. there was no lack of effort the fish just weren’t biting for anyone. Highly recommend the Nasty Habit for your next Kona charter

Best nap ever!
6 Hour Trip on May 26, 20264 adults

The sway of the boat, the sounds of the water and the engines, the sun, and the breeze all made perfect napping conditions to refuel between the excitement of catching fish! Joe and Courtney were amazing. We would absolutely fish with them again!

Reported catch:

Good to be on the water!
4 Hour Trip on March 11, 20262 adults

Special trip with our 3 grandchildren, weather was rainy but Capt Joe avoided the showers. Fish didn’t cooperate, no bites but Capt tried hard. Enjoyed Capt Joe and Courtney they were great hosts. Joe was from our home state so we had lots to talk about. Beautiful boat and equipment. Future guests need to accept it’s fishing, no guarantees.
