There's a fish with your name on it in Kailua-Kona, and Maggie Joe Sportfishing will help you catch it!

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and more with any luck. On these trips, you can expect to troll using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take some of your fish home to eat. How's that for fresh seafood?

Your boat for the day is a 53' Offshore sport fishing with room for 15 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials, and there's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available to catch during yours trip.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10%–20% gratuity is customary and much appreciated.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids that are at least 5 years old are welcome aboard! Remember to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Maggie Joe Sportfishing!

*** IMPORTANT POLICIES ***

Fish Policy:  Fish you catch that weigh less than 50lbs we will cut for you. Fish over 50 lbs stay with the boat. 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. We will contact you.

Gratuity: For any charter with 7 or more people we will automatically add a 20% gratuity to the total cost.

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.

Another amazing day on the water
Full Day Trip on December 28, 20257 adults

This was our second time out with Captain Mike and Noah and this time Alvin was part of the crew and they couldn’t have been more gracious. Within Two hours we had caught a 125 lb blue Marlin. They were as excited as we were, and although we didn’t catch anything else, it was a magical day on the water. Calm seas, just enough cloud cover to keep it comfortable and a great crew. What more could you ask for. As a bonus, since we really wanted to catch either a mahi mahi or a tuna and we didn’t, and their other boat had caught two mahi mahi , they had a bag of fresh mahi waiting for us at the dock. This has made for a couple great dinners. Above and beyond. If you are looking for a great time, especially with a larger group, don’t hesitate to call on Maggie Joe

Captain Mike and Noah were great! We fished with them 9 years ago and had a great time once again. Would recommend to anyone wanting experienced Captain, great boat, and super friendly and professional crew.

Marlin tail 2 Mahis & a Tuna
3/4 Day Trip on December 13, 20256 adults

Great day on the Maggie Joe! Had such a great time. It was a quiet morning at first but ended with a bang! We caught Mahi Mahi back to back, a good size yellow fin tuna, and brought a monster 500 Marlin that we almost got into the boat but wrangled the hook out at the last minute. The Captain & crew were so awesome, fantastic hosts! We sincerely enjoyed our time and we’ll see y’all again next year!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Blue Marlin
Yellowfin Tuna
