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!

Marissa Tschida5.0VerifiedAmazing experience!!
3/4 Day Trip on June 6, 2026 • 6 adultsBeautiful boat, knowledgeable crew/staff, gorgeous conditions; what more could you yoh ask for?! Maggie Jo is a wondeful outfit and we had an incredible time. We had teens and adults and made it through the trio without issue! All instructions were provided on what to being, where to go, etc. Follow those and you trip will be perfect. Oh, and bring a cooler, youll be coming home with dinner!
Beth HerzogRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Fishing Trip
Full Day Trip – Shared on April 18, 2026 • 2 adultsOur 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!
John MizunoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExcellent big game fishing with an outstanding Captain and veteran crew.
Full Day Trip on August 28, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain 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.
Randy Watkins5.0VerifiedGreat Time !!

Full Day Trip – Shared on April 11, 2026 • 2 adultsWe 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.
Leon LaroueRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHands down best fishing charter
Full Day Trip on December 15, 2025 • 6 adultsThis 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!
