Kona Deep Sea Fishing
Big Island Fishing
Big Island fishing heads offshore from the Kona Coast, where deep water sits close to land and big game fish can be part of the day. Board a sportfishing charter from Honokohau Harbor and look for Ahi, Ono, Mahi Mahi, Kahala, Blue Marlin and Spearfish.
Your Big Island Fishing Charter
Kona is one of Hawaii's classic deep sea fishing areas because the ocean gets deep quickly off the coast. That means less time just reaching fishing grounds and more time with lines in the water, watching the spread and waiting for the reel to start singing.
Bite Me Sportfishing offers several Kona charter boats, including Bite Me 3, Bite Me 4, Bite Me 5 Kila Kila and Bite Me 6. Phantom Sportfishing also runs Kona fishing charters from Honokohau Harbor. Current tours are listed from about 4 to 8 hours, with shorter trips for a taste of offshore fishing and longer charters for more time chasing pelagic fish.
Pick the charter by boat size, private or shared setup, time on the water and the kind of fishing day your party wants. Bring sun protection, motion comfort if needed and realistic expectations: fishing has quiet stretches, sudden hits and stories that get much better after everyone is back on land.
