Fishing Charter Tours in Hawaii
Sports fishing off of the Kona's Gold Coast!
About Kona Fishing
Kona is located on the leeward side of the Big
Island of Hawaii. The western shores of the Big Island offer world
class charter sports fishing combined with calm sea conditions. This
is because the Big Island's tall volcanoes protect Kona from the
trade winds making it possible to fish for large fish in very calm
ocean waters. The water depth offshore of Kona drops dramatically.
At just a few miles offshore you are at 6000 ft. deep and it keeps
getting deeper after that.
Although Kona and the
Kohala Coast is famous for big fish like large Blue Marlin, other
species of fish can also be caught. Ahi (Yellowfin
Tuna),
Mahi Mahi (Dorado),
Ono (Wahoo),
Aku (Skipjack Tuna),
Kahala (Amberjack)
and other species are plentiful here. Blue Marlin run all year.
There are also 6 different types of Billfish.
Trolling lures is probably the most popular style
in Kona, but live bait and bottom fishing are also options. There
are many large fish that can be caught off the ledges and bottom
such as amberjack or shark. You may only be interested in trolling
for the large blue Marlin or you may be happy to focus on small
skipjack tuna or bottom fish near the ledges.
Our Fishing Charter
The "Lil' Steamer" is operated by Captain Rupert of Lobo Del Mar. Captain Rupert offers a morning 4 hour fishing charter leaving from the Honokohou harbor daily. The "Lil' Steamer" is a fast and safe fishing vessel. The boat holds six passengers plus Captain and crew comfortably.
If you have a group larger than six, please let us know. We can still accommodate you on other reputable fishing charter boats in Kona.Price/Departure Times:
$450 for a half day fishing charter (4 to 5 hours). All bait and tackle included. (This price is for the entire boat whether you have 1 person in your group or 6. If we already have people booked the day that you would like to go then the cost per person will go down as the $450 is divided amongst all.) We can troll with live bait or bottom fish. Let us know what you are looking for!Departure times may vary…but our most popular time (and a great time for fishing) is from 8am - 12pm.
