If you're going to cast a line in Kailua-Kona, look no further than Maggie Joe Sportfishing! With Captain Kevin at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Wahoo, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. For these species, you're likely to troll using light or heavy tackle. You can bring home part of the fish you catch, and the crew will clean and fillet it for you, so you can take your fish home to eat. How's that for fresh seafood?

Get on board a 38' Phoenix boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without, and there's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Any live bait used is caught on the charter.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10%–20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation. Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids 5 years old and older are absolutely welcome!

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), snacks, water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Shared and private fishing trips are available.

Now, time to hit the water with Maggie Joe Sportfishing!

*** IMPORTANT POLICIES ***

Fish Policy:  Any fish that you catch that weighs less than 50lbs we will cut for you. We will cut half the catch up to 50lbs maximum leaving the boat per trip. There are exceptions and all final decisions are at the captains discretion.

Payment policy: We require a credit card to hold reservations. Once your reservation is placed we will contact you.

Fishing License: Licenses are required for anglers ages 15 and above

Fuel Surcharges: due to the high cost of fuel we will have a daily fuel surcharge.

    Fantastic Fishing Trip

    Full Day Trip – Shared on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Our fishing experience was great! The final count from our all-day trip was one Blue Marlin, one Spearfish, two Mahi Mahi and two Tuna. Unfortunately, we lost several Tuna due to sharks taking them before we could reel them into the boat or our count would've been higher yet. Captain Kevin & Jason were wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better day!

    Excellent big game fishing with an outstanding Captain and veteran crew.

    Full Day Trip on August 28, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Jason was outstanding as he aggressively looked to put us on game fish. His Deckhands, Geno & Kaui were also excellent. I am grateful for the two full days of fishing with Captain Jason, his crew and the Maggie Joe organization.

    Awesome day on the water with Captain Kenny!

    Full Day Trip – Shared on April 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught fish, and Kenny and Kelani worked hard to find em. More than anything they were awesome to hang out with and enjoyed our conversations during a beautiful day on the water.

    Hands down best fishing charter

    Full Day Trip on December 15, 2025 • 6 adults

    This is my family’s second time with captain Kevin and deckhand Jason - can’t say enough good things about them. Amazing trip all the way through. The fact that we caught 6 yellowfin on this last trip (plus one amberjack) and a yellowfin on our last trip is a cherry on top. 10/10 recommend!
