Kailua-Kona offers world-class fishing with a bite for everyone, and Playtime Sportfishing is here to put you on the fish. Led by Captain Shawn, a lifelong Hawaiian and Alaskan angler who has been fishing since before he could walk, the charter brings decades of hands-on experience and deep local knowledge of these waters.
Depending on the season, you may target Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi and other pelagic species found offshore Kona. Trips are tailored to current conditions and fish movement, using a variety of techniques including trolling, light tackle fishing, jigging and more specialized methods when needed. Fly fishing may also be available upon request (bring your own gear).
Families and anglers of all experience levels are welcome, with a focus on creating a fun, safe and memorable day on the water. Whether you're chasing your first catch or adding another trophy to your list, Captain Shawn's goal is to deliver a true Kona fishing experience.

Amazing trip
Uscita di pesca di un'intera giornata • 3 adulti • 2 bambiniWe had an awesome time on our 8-hour charter today! The captain worked hard all day to put us on fish, and we ended up catching 4 bonito and a bunch of akule. Even when the bite slowed down, he kept moving and trying different spots to give us the best chance of success. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip enjoyable. The boat was comfortable, and we learned a lot along the way. We had a great day on the water and came home with fresh fish for dinner. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun day fishing on the Big Island! 🎣🌊

Risposta dall'operatore CharterWe had a great time fishing with you guys! Thanks for coming out so early and giving us a chance to catch some akule ! Be sure to give us a call next time you’d like to go out. We’d like to get some redemption on those two ono that got away! 
Alec Cornejo5.0VerificatoThe dynamic duo of dreams!
Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata • 2 adultiWow! Shawn and Joe are such a dynamic duo. My buddy and I decided to try out a fishing charter and were not disappointed! My buddy and I both caught an Ono a piece and it was exciting and FUN coming from a first time fisherman! Shawn the cool, calm and collected OG captain. Along with Joe, the talkative, informative and full of whimsy first mate! These two explained step by step what to do when a fish was “on” and made us comfortable providing us with space to learn! Shawn and Joe, we will be back go tackle some more fish!! If you are in doubt, book it! These two are awesome!!!

Uscita di pesca di un'intera giornata • 2 adultiIf you’re thinking about booking a charter—just do it, and ask for Shawn. We had a little unexpected hiccup (no one’s fault, just the ocean doing ocean things), but honestly it turned into part of the adventure. And somehow… we still landed a Skipper Jack tuna like absolute legends. On top of that, we saw pilot whales AND black tip sharks just casually living their best lives out there. Basically felt like we were in a nature documentary, but with better snacks and a cooler captain. Shawn is the real deal—super laid back, knows his stuff, and genuinely wants you to have the experience you came for. He even butchered our fish for us like a pro, which was above and beyond. 10/10 would trust this man with my fishing destiny again. We’ll definitely be back—Mahalo, Shawn

Jim Ladd4.7VerificatoMemorable 1/2 Day of fishing
Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata - 9:30 AM • 4 adultiWe enjoyed our 1/2 day with Captain Sean and 1st Mate Tara. 4 of us went along and the weather was great. Cpt Sean and Tara were very helpful at showing us about the boat and setting up all the gear. They answered all our many questions about what to expect as we had little previous experience deep sea fishing. They however have many years experience which we enjoyed hearing about. Despite continued trolling we only got 2 bites but were able to real in a ? 30 lb tuna which was a memorable experience. Cpt Sean was adept at fileting our catch and we took home as much as we could use while on the island. Overall rating of 4 above due to not catching more fish which was not due to lack of trying!
Cattura segnalata:Risposta dall'operatore Charterthank you for fishing with us.! I’m glad we got to have two chances at some nice tuna with bagging one in the Boat on your four hour trip. feel free to give us a call next time you’re in town. 
Cristian Laguillo5.0VerificatoGreat boat, Fun Staff, had a blast!
Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata • 2 adultiMy fiancé and I decided to go for a half day trip on short notice. The Captain Shawn and the first mate Joe, were very accommodating. On our way out, they were giving us information about the island, and the need of marine species, felt like a private tour. we tried different places to fish, saw dolphins, pilot whales, really awesome experience will come back again. Very professional, this charter is a great family owned charter.
