Get “Hooked Up” for an Unforgettable Fishing Experience in Kona!
Step aboard our spacious 40′ Uniflite with Captain Chuck Wigzell and his son Zac for ½, ¾, full-day, or last-minute deep sea charters. With over 30 years of local fishing experience and a strong daily catch record, Hooked Up targets Blue Marlin, Spearfish, Mahi Mahi, Ono, Tuna, and other pelagic species year-round.
Why Choose Hooked Up?
We’re one of the very few boats on Fishbooker equipped with a $100,000+ Omni Sonar system—a cutting-edge, 360° real-time fish finder that scans up to 1,500 away from the boat. Most boats simply don’t have it. This game-changing technology gives you a major advantage when hunting trophy fish like Blue Marlin. We just installed June 2025 so our catch reports will be rising dramatically.
So why did we do it?
Because we're committed to giving you the best possible shot at
success on the water.
Whether you're a seasoned
angler or it's your first time offshore, this technology gives you an
undeniable edge. We made the investment-because we're invested in your experience.
Fish in Comfort
You’ll be fishing from a 40′ Uniflite vessel that is spacious and extremely comfortable. She can accommodate up to 6 guests. Onboard, you’ll find a variety of top-notch rods, reels, and tackle that make fishing these waters easy and fun for anglers of all ages and abilities. She’s also decked out with top-of-the-line navigational and safety gear, as well as large side rails around the cockpit, and a shaded area to relax in. Get ready to travel in comfort and style!
Bonus Perk
After your trip, enjoy a true Kona treat—Captain Chuck’s family restaurant, Pancho and Lefty’s Cantina, will cook up your fresh catch in downtown Kona! It doesn’t get any fresher or better than that.

Thank you Captain Chuck & Deck Hand Blake 🤙🏼. My family of five had a great trip and caught a couple skip jack tuna. We’ll definitely book another next time we visit Kona, Mahalo 🤙🏼

Captain Zack and his First Mate Cameron were awesome. Very engaging and thorough in explaining everything, especially what to expect game fishing. Landed a short nose billfish, aka, spearfish. They even made a great recommendation where to have a local restaurant serve some of it up for us. Highly recommend and will book with them again.

If you’re catching fish I’m sure the charter is a great time. If you’re not catching fish like us the crew is just not very engaged in conversation or anything like that. I understand fishing is a gamble so that’s not my issue but the crew just didn’t really add to anything and it made the whole trip feel like a waste of time other than the beautiful views.
