Night Runner Sport Fishing is located in Kailua-Kona on the Big island. Fishing in Kona is a wonderful way to spend the day and see the Island from a different angle. Kona is the big game fishing capital of the world, and with beautiful calm waters here, anyone can enjoy a deep sea fishing experience. Giant Blue Marlin can be caught all year round as well as Mahi Mahi, Yellow fin Tuna, Wahoo, and numerous other species.
We also do bottom fishing for Giant Trevally, Amberjack, Snapper, Shark, and a wide variety of other creatures of the deep.We offer so many options there is little excuse for not catching fish. We offer overnight fishing trips and custom combo trips if the gang feels like breaking up the day with a bit of snorkeling on some of Kona's perfect reefs.
We own and operate this charter boat so rest assured that you will get the attention you deserve as my reputation is always on the line. We take great pride in running a clean comfortable operation. Kids are very welcome aboard and we love to see the excitement of youngsters pulling on a fish of their dreams.
Depending on the length of your day, you will need to bring any food and drinks you will want to enjoy. We have a very nice ice box for you already. Sunscreen is highly recommended and a camera to capture all the action. We provide all the tackle, bait, and ice you will need for your day on the water.
