The Kona Blue Crew (Capt. Marlin & Brandon) were outstanding!!! These guys understood safety, explained the reeling instructions, knew where they were going, and had an overall excellent attitude with good communication. This helps when you are all going out with the same intentions… of catching fish!!! Very nice boat with the necessary amenities covered. Highly recommend this boat and crew to anyone…

Great crew and great boat. The Captain was very knowledgeable and I plan to go out again. The Captain saved my information and he’s going to text me when the bite is on for the big Marlin!

I would definitely recommend Capt. Marlin and the Kona Blue to anyone looking for a serious billfish trip. The boat is in top notch shape, with new electronics, a Seakeeper system and a beautiful interior. First mate Brandon was very helpful in getting us ready to fight fish with proper form, and we felt taken care of the entire day.

Captain Marlin and Brandon were amazing guides! Super communicative and friendly from the beginning made this trip stress free. Caught and released two blue marlin and caught one Mahi for dinner! The crew provided great instruction and teaching throughout the trip. Fantastic boat - super clean and well maintained. Interior cabin was super comfy and what a great bathroom (best I’ve ever seen in a fishing boat). Can’t recommend this team enough. I will definitely be back!!!!

It’s easy to leave a 5* review when your son catches a short-billed spearfish and a 500+ (600#) pound blue marlin!! Way to go guys!!!
