Maverick Sportfishing – Heavy Tackle Special 

There's a fish with your name on it in Kailua-Kona and Maverick Sportfishing will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Trevor, giving you access to years of professional experience.

Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Shortbill Spearfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Longtail Tuna, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 40' Bertram sportfishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15–25% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
