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.

Excellent Crew
Half Day Big Game Trip (AM) on May 21, 20262 adults
While we didn't catch any fish, it wasn't due to lack of effort by the crew or lack of high-quality equipment. The crew, Cam and Griff did a great job trying to put us on fish, but the fish did not cooperate. Evidently, the water was a bit choppier than normal, but Cam kept the ride as comfortable as possible. We would definitely fish with this boat and crew again.

Half Day Big Game Trip (AM) on April 10, 20261 adult2 children
My kids and I had a fantastic time out fishing. My daughter has dreamed about catching a Mahi Mahi and it was her lucky day! We had fish tacos at Pancho and Lefty’s after and they were awesome! It was definitely a big highlight of our trip. Griffin and Dan were so great and helpful and the boat was very comfortable to hang out in. We had the best time!
