Skillet Sportfishing en schipper John Burke heten u van harte welkom in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Schipper John is een doorgewinterde visser met meer dan 5 decennia viservaring, waarvan hij het grootste deel heeft doorgebracht met vissen in Hawaii. Hij nodigt u uit om met hem mee te gaan op een trip naar de prachtige wateren van de open zee en de rijkdom van dit visgebied te ontdekken. Schipper John zal er alles aan doen om een plezierige en productieve trip te bieden voor elk van zijn gasten, ongeacht hun vaardigheden en viservaring. Neem uw familie of vrienden mee en beleef een onvergetelijke tijd met sportvissen in Hawaii.

Schipper John is eigenaar van en vaart met een 32' Topaz zoutwatervisboot die veilig plaats biedt aan maximaal 6 gasten. De boot wordt aangedreven door twee 370PK Cummins-motoren en is uitgerust met uitgebreide navigatietechnologie, waardoor uw tocht naar de vis soepel en snel verloopt. Er is een zeer mooie badkamer aan boord, evenals een tafel en zitplaatsen benedendeks. De overige voorzieningen aan boord omvatten een drilstoel, een leefbak, een ijskist en diverse visuitrusting.

Kona is de wereldhoofdstad van het biggamevissen. Er worden hier meer marlijn van duizend pond gevangen dan waar ook ter wereld. U en de bemanning kunnen vele andere pelagische soorten vangen, maar grote blauwe marlijn is waar de meeste vissers naar Kona komen om te vangen. Om ze binnen te halen, gebruikt u zwaar materiaal/trollen.

De bemanning heeft alle visuitrusting en aas (mits ze bijten). U hoeft alleen eten en drinken mee te nemen om op krachten te blijven tijdens de boottocht.

Op verzoek snijden we een aangewezen deel van de vangst per charter op om elke chartergast aan boord te voorzien. Net genoeg vis om van te genieten voor een paar maaltijden tijdens uw verblijf op het eiland. Geelvintonijn boven de 100 pond blijft bij de boot. Blauwe marlijn boven de 100 pond is strikt vangen en vrijlaten.

Visvergunning (alleen niet-ingezetenen) – Bezoekers aan Hawaii moeten een Nonresident Recreational Marine Fishing License (NRMFL) hebben om te vissen. Vergunningen zijn online verkrijgbaar. PASSAGIERS MOETEN 10 JAAR OF OUDER ZIJN.

De bemanning heeft alle visuitrusting en aas (mits ze bijten). U hoeft alleen eten en drinken mee te nemen om op krachten te blijven tijdens de boottocht.

AMAZING!

8 Hour Trip op March 19, 2026 • 5 volwassenen

Amazing experience. Highly recommend. Captain John was knowledgeable & helped us catch a 750lb Marlin. We also caught 2 spearfish.  Deion was a fantastic deck hand and very supportive. This was a great trip for both experienced & novices.  They were so funny, and kept us laughing throughout the trip. The weather wasn’t cooperating with the original date we booked, Captain John was wonderful about working with us to find another time during our stay in Hawaii.

Beautiful Ono

4 Hour Trip op September 11, 2025 • 2 volwassenen

We had an incredible morning on the water with Captain John and his crew. From the moment we stepped on board, they made the trip feel special with their great storytelling, humor, and deep knowledge of the ocean. They kept us entertained and engaged the whole time, turning the trip into more than just fishing—it was an experience.

The real highlight came when my wife hooked into a beautiful Ono. The crew’s excitement and encouragement made the catch even more memorable. Later, we prepared the fresh Ono into amazing blackened fish tacos with mango salsa—hands down one of the best meals we’ve ever had.

Captain John and his team go above and beyond to create not just a fishing trip, but a lasting memory. Highly recommend them if you want a fun, professional, and unforgettable day on the water!

Fishing with John

4 Hour PM Trip op March 9, 2026 • 2 volwassenen

Hey John hopefully the weather is getting better for you guys 

I didn't want to post this on a public review for you but just a quick note of what myself and my father in law thought 

The crew was friendly and professional, and we appreciated how nice everyone was throughout the trip. The boat and gear were good, and the mate worked consistently.

However, we were disappointed with the timing of the trip. The captain left the dock about 15 minutes late because he needed to get fuel, and then we returned about 5 minutes early.

Since this was a 4-hour charter and the trip cost nearly $900, we felt the time should have been made up so that we received the full amount we paid for.

Fishing can always be hit or miss, and we understand that part, but getting the full charter time is something we expected. The crew was pleasant, but the shortened trip left us feeling a bit shorted for the price

Just something to take into consideration is all

I’ve chartered more than a dozen boats in pursuit of pelagic fish.This boat(Skillet)is the best cared boat I’ve been on.Captain John is meticulous and keeps the boat spotless and ready to fish. All tackle is top rate and organized . My wife and daughter were very comfortable and we would have had a great time even if we didn’t catch a fish, but we did!
