We will fish closer to the harbor, but you will still have a chance at encountering any of our awesome pelagic species that roam Kona waters. You will be able to choose either a morning or mid-day departure for your Kona fishing trip. ½ day charters include bottled water and ice.
We love hosting families, we do ask that if there are 2 or more children under the age of 10, that there are at least two adults on board to supervise. This is a private charter you will not be sharing the boat with anyone else aside from our captain and crew.
