Kona Blue Sportfishing
If you’re ready to get hooked on fishing in Kailua-Kona, we’ve got you covered with Kona Blue Sportfishing. With Captain Marlin at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Albacore Tuna, Shortbill Spearfish, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, and anything else that bites.
You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You’re free to bring home any fish you catch, so long as regulations allow it. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Talk about bang for your buck!
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
Capt. Marlin runs a 47’ Sportfishing that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
