Background
Proud to be one of the very few owner operated boats in kona. Born and raised in the water, my entire life and identity has been fishing and surfing. The ocean is my place of comfort and I can’t think of any better way to spend the hours of a day in or on the water. This is a career of passion over riches. We do this for the love of it!
Techniques
Our first choice of technices is live baiting. We are Kona’s premier and original light tackle live baiting charter boat. Although our trend is catching on in the harbor, we have been at it for a very long time with a few tricks still to be discovered. We are not strictly big game/ Marlin fisherman. We chase anything and everything from bottom fish to mahi and tuna and wahoos for the table. We do love marlin fishing however it’s usually not our top request from our clients. Big or small we love to catch them all.

VERIFIED   3/4 Day Trip on March 13, 2025
We started off the day dry with nothing. The crew was willing to change up the fishing style and fished with live bait! WORTH...
