Our 32’ center console comfortably accommodates up to 4 passengers and is fully equipped with the necessary amenities, including a toilet.

All nonresident anglers aged 15 and older are required to purchase a Nonresident Recreational Marine Fishing License online before the trip. All catchable and edible fish may be kept. We will scale, gut, or fillet your catch so it is ready to cook. We’re also happy to share some of our favorite recipes if you’d like to prepare your catch yourself.
If you don’t have access to a kitchen, you can take your fish to Holualoa Garden & Kitchen, located in the quaint town of Holualoa, about 15 minutes from Kona. If you’re staying in Kona town, you can take your catch to Umekes, where they can cook your fish for you. Reservations are required at both locations.

I just want to say thank you so much to Ocean Blue Kona and Captain Kihu for taking us on such an EPIC bottom-fishing trip this morning! We caught a dozen yellow spots, rosy snappers, a decent-sized yellowtail, and even a 100-pounder yellowfin tuna at the end of the trip! During the entire trip, our captain smoothly orchestrated the process of handling fish fights, refilling baits for multiple fishing poles, and driving the ship with precise coordinates for the targeted fish species. I would definitely hop onto the ship with Ocean Blue Kona again in the near future to experience the thrilling sensation of hunting mysteries of the sea and turning them into delicious poke bowls and sashimi's again!
thank you so much for this beautiful review we’re very thankful to have Captain  Kelson kihe he said he had such a good time with you guys
My daughter and I went on the 4 hr morning trip, and the entire experience was top notch! The captain and his wife were both super inviting, knowledgeable, and we're a joy to talk to! Their boat and equipment were all well maintained, and it was a comfortable ride on a beautiful day! We saw dolphins before we even left the harbor which was an awesome bonus! Literally every single time we stopped at a new spot, we were hooked up on numerous fish as soon as our lines were down! We landed 4 different species of fish, and the Captain had they filleted up and in bags for is to take home and enjoy before we got back to the harbor. Highly recommend!

Captain Kihe is the perfect person for your trip. He put us on fish right off the bat. Before we were back at the dock he sent us all of our action photos. We would fish with him again.
