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. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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. Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. 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!

Great trip on SunDowner
Full Day Trip – Shared on June 17, 20251 adult
The full day shared trip was well worth it. Captain Kenny put us in the right spots to catch fish, and we hooked up on 4 out of the 5 bites we had! Ryan was full of information, answered any questions we had, and was very helpful too. As a group we completed the Kona Slam, which was just the cherry on top.

I enjoy fishing on the Kuuipo. Captain Kevin, Jason and Cameron represent a great team and collaborate to secure you with game fish. I've fished with this team last year and they work diligently to get you and delegation on the fish.

Full Day Trip – Shared on February 15, 20251 adult
Booked my trip on Fishing Booker! Very easy to set up! The crew on the Sundowner were great. Between the captain and mate, I was not disappointed! Very professional crew. Catching my first Blue Marlin didn't hurt either. Highly recommend Maggie Joe Sportfishing and the crew on the Sundowner!
