The sun rises over the Pacific, casting a wide golden path across the cobalt waves just off the Kona Coast. You step aboard the Bite Me 4, a sportfishing boat designed to navigate these energetic waters with ease. The ocean doesn’t give up its treasures quickly—currents push and pull, daring you to stay sharp.
