The Bite Me 5, formaly know as the Kila, your top choice for sport fishing in Hawaii! Fishing out of Honokahau Harbor, this boat is enviably close to “Grander Alley,” the number one fishing destination on the whole of the Kona Coast.

The Bite Me 5 is a stunning 53’ Merritt vessel that rides the waves with ease thanks to her twin 500 HP Cummins engines. She is fitted with everything you could ask for when deep sea fishing in Hawaii, including a tuna tower.

The huge deck comes complete with a beautifully-finished fighting chair and plenty of space for six people plus the crew. Inside, she’s equally luxurious. She features 3 AC sytems, two staterooms with 2 full private restrooms, a full galley kitchen and a spacious couch area, . As if that wasn’t enough, the boat is finished with beautiful Koa wood throughout.

Not only are the Bite Me 5’s features outstanding, she also boasts an impressive history. The largest Bluefin Tuna ever caught in the Bahamas was boated aboard this vessel, which also has numerous significant Hawaii tournaments and several world record game fish to her name.

Now it’s your turn to fish like a world number one. The Bite Me 5 is set up to take 6 people fishing with 5 lines trolling at a time. This will give you plenty of chances to get in on the action as your knowledgeable crew hunts for Ahi, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Ono, Spearfish and much more, depending on the season.

You will be fishing with top-of-the-line rods, reels, and artificial lures, which will be provided by the charter. Just bring some refreshments and get ready to turn your big game fishing dreams into reality!

See what these productive Hawaiian waters have to offer with Bite Me Sportfishing!

Amazing Day with Bite Me
3/4 Day Trip on March 25, 20254 adults2 children
Nicest charter boat I have ever been on. Nice mahi, spearfish and a double blue marlin catch. Spectacular day on America’s best fishery with an experienced captain and professional crew. I will wait in line to fish with them again. Doubtful you will find a better kept charter boat.
