Maggie Joe Sportfishing – Maggie Joe
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!

Bryan WaxmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother amazing day on the water
Full Day Trip on December 28, 2025 • 7 adultsThis 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
Shawn HowardRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMarlin tail 2 Mahis & a Tuna
3/4 Day Trip on December 13, 2025 • 6 adultsGreat 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!
Tiffany Fimbres5.0VerifiedThe highlight of our trip!!

Megan Lundgren5.0VerifiedIncredible experience!!! HIGHLY recommended!
3/4 Day Trip on February 6, 2024 • 9 adults • 1 childWow, can not say enough great things about Maggie Joe's and their incredible team. Captain Mike was wonderful, informative and got us on the fish. His deck hands were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable about not only the fishing but the Hawaiian culture, islands and native species. They gave wonderful recommendations, went above and beyond to include everyone and all around worked very hard to provide a once in a life time experience. Hope we are able to come back and go out on the waters with this incredible crew again. Thanks Maggie Joe's and crew!
Dan Joanisse5.0VerifiedExcellent overall experience
3/4 Day Trip on March 31, 2024 • 2 adultsWe had a 3/4 day excursion with Captain Mike and his crew and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We only caught one Ono but not for lack of trying. The boat and gear were everything we needed. And the crew, Captain Mike and Jet in particular, really know what they’re doing. The only thing that could have made it better is more fish, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Highly recommend booking with Maggie Joe Sportfishing!!
Sam ThigpenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMy First Blue Marlin
Full Day Trip on June 27, 2025 • 6 adultsAfter 10 years of trying to land my first Blue Marlin, it finally happened on the Maggie Joe! Captain Mike and his crew did everything they could to get us on the fish and we took care of the rest! Great time, great Captain, and great memories. We will be back!
Megan Jackson5.0VerifiedExcellent way to spend a day
3/4 Day Trip on February 16, 2025 • 7 adultsMike and his crew were friendly, informative and a lot of fun. They handled 9 of us without a hitch. The boat has plenty of shade to hide from the sun, but bring your sunscreen anyhow, and more water than you think you need.
Katie Hanson5.0VerifiedBest Experience Ever
