The crew were great, the energy was great and even though I had little to no experience, they made sure I knew what to do while still letting me do it all myself. Cannot recommend the Kona Dice enough.

Konadice was an awesome afternoon trip. We started with catching some yellowfin tunas that were fun to reel in. Then used a few as bait. Hooked up to a 7-8’ bronze whaler we let go. Then kept trolling with bait for a Marlin and eventually got bit. She came in around 84” 250lb

Yep that’s about sums it up. I go couldnreleqt that everyday on a 6 hour trip. I could almost guarantee 99.5 % I’d have a boat so nice you couldn’t even compare it in a 5 star rating you’d need a 20 to justify what the boat actually provides if I don’t have a boat I couldn’t take care of you. I appreciate every opportunity I have the you the customer provides for me . I appreciate you guys and the opportunity to just be on the water. Aloha good job good team come fish a tournament...

Captain and mate did everything to entice a fish, slow, fast, changing lures, trying live bait. Heavy swells didn’t help. Just not a fishy day. Saw several other groups come in fish less.

Our boat was filled with family ages 22-83. The crew on Konadice could not have been more helpful and friendly. We couldn’t some great fish that turned into a great dinner. Thank you!
