Kona has the unique distinction of being one of the few places in the world that has a caught over a 1,000 lbs blue marlin in each month of the year, meaning you have the opportunity to land a massive trophy fish. We are also home to other species and the captain and crew are always willing to accommodate any special request you may have to target a particular species.

Kona is the billfish capital of the world. There are more thousand pound marlin caught here than anywhere else. You and the crew may catch many other pelagic species but large blue marlin are what most anglers come to Kona to catch. To reel them in, you use heavy tackle/ trolling.

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.

These waters are known for Blue Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Bigeye Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some. On these trips, you can expect to troll using light or heavy tackle.
