Spend the day with Hilo Ocean Adventures and find out what the fishing in Hilo is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, our captains can tell you all about the local fishery.

Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Indian Threadfish, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Wahoo ('Ono), Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Skipjack Tuna ('Aku), Yellowfin Tuna ('Ahi), and more could be biting, depending on the season. You can expect to do some trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids over age 12 are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your day begins aboard a 35’ Wellcraft center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray or tinted), sunglasses, a towel, and rain gear! Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.

REMINDER: There is a required Non-Resident Marine Fishing License. This must be purchased on your own through Hawai'i DLNR.
