“Konadice Sportfishing” invites you on the ultimate deep sea fishing adventure in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii! This tropical paradise is located on the Big Island and happens to be the former capital of the island. It was good enough for royalty and it’s certainly great if you’re hoping to explore the incredible rich blue surrounding it!
Kailua-Kona has, as you would expect in a tropical paradise, a tropical climate. The warm temperatures allow local charter operators to be on the water daily and catch fish year-round.
Hop aboard the 37' Bertram open cabin offshore sportfishing boat, which can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. She’s powered by twin 330 HP Cummings engines and boasts the latest GPS and Fishfinder technology. What’s more, she has a flybridge & tuna tower. On calm days you can use to sight surface activity.a spacious 2 door toilet convenience. She also features outriggers, Tuna tubes, a live well, and a fighting chair. With 15.5 ft beem she accomidates plenty of room and places of shade. Highly recomend taking a look at the vessel you choose closed cabins if air conditioned its nice but doesnt feel like your fishing and deck space all importsnt to getting the most out of your money.
You’ll explore the offshore waters off the coast of Kona for some of the world’s most desirable fish around. Hook into the likes of Mahi Mahi, Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Blue and Striped Marlin, Ono (Wahoo), Shortbill Spearfish, Amberjack, and Giant Trevally.
The crew has two goals: making sure you catch the fish of a lifetime and ensuring you have a great time doing so! They offer kid-friendly charters and are able to accommodate beginner and experienced anglers alike. Keep in mind our crew and captain make a living catching fish, 60% of our income is from daily charters, 20% gratuity, and 20% from selling the fish we catch.
Set aside a day and come with us on a day to remember. Aloha!

6 Hour 3/4 day? Off season
My friend and his son drove up from Sacramento for a day of tuna fishing off the coast of Hawaii! And you know what? We did it five times with this incredible crew! The captain steered the boat precisely to where the fish were. The deckhand did an incredible job ensuring our success. This wasn't a luxury vacation, but a real man's fishing trip. The boat and crew were straight out of an Ernest Hemingway book—reliable, precise, and comfortable just for fishing, that's all! If you love fishing, I highly recommend this boat! But if you're looking for a luxury vacation, you might want to consider another option! This is man's, tough, and hard fishing, and I would definitely do it again!

Morning 3/4 6 hour trip.
Captain Jeff and his crew were AMAZING. They put us on fish right away and it was non stop. i actually had to take a small break lol because i was catching so many fish. so I highly recommend Kona dice to everyone. You will not be disappointed and you’ll leave with a bag of fish just like I did thank you Kona dice appreciate the time and I would recommend the six hour or above. Also got to see Whales and 🦈 as well. great trip great day.

Morning 3/4 6 hour trip.
We had fished with Captain Jim a little over a year ago, and while it was an enjoyable trip, there was no action until the final 30 minutes, when we caught an 80lb blue marlin. This trip was very similar, as Captain Jim and deckhand Tevin were constantly switching up lures and tactics. A couple of near misses with a billfish and big bull Mahi, but it looked as if the trip would end without a hook up. Once again, about 30 minutes from the dock, a reel starts screaming! After amazing teamwork and coaching and a 30 minute, a 150 lb blue marlin was boatside. Yet again, another amazing experience on the Konadice! Can't wait for our next trip!

Afternoon 3/4 6 hour trip
Our family of 4 (two adults, two kids 10 and 12) had a great 3/4 day trip. The kids are beginners, but the crew did a great job showing them what to do. We hooked a 110lb blue marlin early (my 12 year old got it to the boat, but it slipped away). The captain/crew saw that catching any fish was more important to my family than the big prize fish and managed to find a nice school of yellow fin and rainbow runners. The kids had an amazing time and declared that we need to do this anytime we are in Hawaii. We will book again with Kona Dice when we return. I’m glad we went with the 6 hour trip instead of the 4. The extra 2 hours were well worth the trip extra cost.

Booked with Kona Dice charter. Captain Jim and mate William were awesome. Highly recommend. Hooked a small wahoo 10 minutes out of the marina. Bit us off. Catching live bait fish was very cool. Caught a skipjack tuna, and lost another. Great experience, good boat and gear. These guys know what there doing! Very experienced and knowledgeable. Would go with them again in a heartbeat.
