Blue Zone Fishing Team 

My wife and I had a wonderful 7 hour trip with Captain Seth! The boat was very comfortable throughout the trip - especially the lounging area at the bow where my wife enjoyed relaxing between fish. Captain Seth was a joy to chat with throughout the charter and generously shared his knowledge and experience of the local waters and fishing techniques. As a huge bonus, the fishing was incredible! Captain Seth put us on the fish and gave us over 10 opportunities to catch fish with 6 total tuna hitting the deck including a 40+ pound ahi! We would not hesitate to fish with Captain Seth next time we're on the Big Island. We highly recommend Blue Zone Fishing Team!

hooked and boated an ono right off the bat. it turned out to be our only catch of the day, but it still was a fantastic experience! Seth was extremely knowledgeable and along the way talked about the techniques that he was using and previous experiences that influence is the way that he fishes now. He made it extremely comfortable for us on the boat with a sunshade and cold drinks available at all times. I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone whether experienced or inexperienced anglers.

What an AMAZING birthday fishing trip with the Blue Zone Fishing Team on the Big Island! 🎣🌺 We had an absolute blast! We caught 3 tuna, the first one was smaller, but the other two were around 20–40 lbs! We even hooked a marlin! Unfortunately, we lost it, but WOW did that thing put up a fight! 🐟💪🏼 To top it all off, we were surrounded by dolphins, watched tuna jumping all around us, and got to take in the incredible beauty of the island. It truly couldn’t have been a better way to celebrate a birthday! 🎉🌊 Captain Seth was absolutely awesome! He has the perfect personality, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He explained everything along the way and even shared the history of the island, which made the experience that much more special. The boat was perfect, comfortable, spacious, and with plenty of shade when we needed it. Having a restroom on board was also a HUGE bonus! Captain Seth even provided a cooler stocked with water, soda, juice, drinks, and a fresh pineapple. 🍍 All in all, this was one for the record books! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, better captain, or better birthday adventure. Would 1000% recommend Blue Zone Fishing Team to absolutely ANYONE and EVERYONE! If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip on the Big Island, DO IT! You won’t regret it! 🎣🤙🏼🌺

If you're fishing in Kona, book with Blue Zone Fishing — full stop. Captain Seth is the best in the business. His knowledge of these waters combined with his scientific background dramatically increases your odds of actually catching fish, and the results speak for themselves: we landed 4 fish on a day when 3 out of 4 boats around us got skunked. That's not luck — that's expertise. What makes it even better is how humble Seth is about it all. No ego, just a genuine passion for fishing and for putting his guests on fish. Hands down the best charter experience I've had. We'll absolutely be back and have already sent people his way.

I brought 4 teenagers with sky-rocketing expectations to Capt. Seth, early in the morning. And boy, were we in for a treat! Capt. Seth has a unique skill set, in getting everyone involved as a team and all the youngster were spotting and reporting in to our Captain - who was a fountain of knowledge and... above average jokes and warstories ;-) We were taught what to look for - and after an hour and a half, our first (and youngest) angler caught his first Tuna. Capt. Seth called it minutes before. Same procedure, and all spotted and laughed, as we saw the tell-signs and rightly enough, once again - two lines were whining under the pressure of Tuna. On the way back Capt. Seth told us we would get a large fish, most likely (is he a fish-whisperer?) - and after 10 minutes a huge Yellow Finned Ahi-Ahi Tuna got the bait. It bit on a small handheld rod - and the next 2h and 45m we strained to get the 120 pounds beast onboard - standing up and strugling with the Tuna was no joke, and Seth stepped in and helped out when needed. The trip ended with the 4 Tuna onboard and Capt. Seth making us the most fantastic fillets to take home for the barbeque. What a Gentleman. In all seriousness: a trip with Capt. Seth is legend, and I simply cannot recommend him enough. He will conjure your angling dreams into some of the best memories of your life. And that's a fact.
