Ocean Blue Kona
Ocean Blue Kona offers premier inshore and bottom fishing charters in Kona’s serene waters, captained by either the experienced Captain Kevin or Captain Kihe.
Guests can look forward to catching species such as Yellow Spot (Papio), Hawaiian Gray Snapper (Uku), Goat Fish (Moano Kea), Weke Nono, Kumu, Jacks, Snappers and Wrasses. Fishing is conducted using top-of-the-line Penn Battle 3 spin jig rod and reel combos, with 50-pound braided spectra line and 30-pound fluorocarbon leaders, each fitted with two size 14 BKN hooks and an 8 oz weight.
Our 27’ Catamaran comfortably hosts up to 6 passengers and is fully equipped with all necessary amenities, including a toilet. The boat is child-friendly, with appropriately sized life vests available to ensure safety for all ages.
We provide snacks and drinks to help keep energy levels high throughout the adventure. Feel free to bring any extra snacks and drinks you would like, and we can keep them on ice for you. Adult beverages are welcome, but please refrain from bringing glass aboard. Reef safe sunscreen will also be provided.
No local fishing licenses are required in Hawaii currently. All catchable and edible fish can be kept; we will scale, gut, or fillet your fish to ensure it’s ready to cook. We’re also eager to share some of our favorite recipes if you’d like to cook your catch.
If you don’t have a kitchen, then take your fish to Holualoa Garden & Kitchen. This restaurant is amazing! It’s in a little quaint town 10 minutes above Kona town. It feels like what you would picture Hawaii to be with rainy beautiful gardens nestled in the coffee plantations. Rember to call or check their website to check hours and plan when to go enjoy your fresh catch as you may want a reservation.
Experience the thrill of fishing with Ocean Blue Kona and let our family share our passion for this exciting sport with you and yours.
