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!

3/4 Day Trip
Captain Mike and his crew went above and beyond. They stayed out an extra 2 hrs so we could make a catch and were rewarded with a striped marlin which they expertly filleted and 2 blue Marlin which we released. They took us through the technique and coached us to catch a 60 lb striped marlin and a 80 and 120 lb Blue Marlin. In addition we saw a pod of about 100 dolphins and followed them for quite a while. Would strongly recommend this to anyone, whether they have experience or not. Boat was great with all the amenities one could need. Everyone showed such enthusiasm out there when we caught the fish. Even after we caught our fish, they spent extra time trying to find a mahi-mahi. Worth every penny

3/4 Day Trip
Beautiful day. The grandkids caught fish. 76 year old Papa caught a 300 lb. marlin! We even caught 125 hammerhead shark! Jet, our guide, was tremendous! He was great with the kids and enthusiastic. Our Captain Mike knew just how to maneuver the boat for a perfect catch. A great day.

After 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!

Mike 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.
