Kona Cowboy Sport Fishing operates out of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, offering guided sportfishing charters led by Captain Shawn Slattery and his expert crew. The operation runs a fully restored sportfisher equipped with modern electronics, providing anglers with reliable gear and navigation while targeting both table fish and big-game species like Blue Marlin. The business offers three core trip formats—Full Day Charter, Six Hour Charter, and Half Day Charter—so anglers can choose the duration that matches skill level and objectives. Trips are designed for a range of goals: catching dinner for family and friends or pursuing trophy fish on deep-water grounds off the Kona coast. Captain Shawn Slattery and crew focus on safety, clear instruction, and maximizing time on productive fishing grounds. The boat’s restoration and updated electronics support efficient location of fish and comfortable time on the water. Kona Cowboy Sport Fishing is featured on The Adventure Collective, providing an additional public reference for travelers researching Kona sportfishing options. Charter details—including trip length, expected activities, and crew-led instruction—are communicated in advance to help guests prepare properly. Guests can expect a professional deck presence, adherence to local regulations, and an emphasis on an engaging, memorable fishing experience in Hawaii waters.
