Kona Sportfishing from Honokohau

Location: Kona, Big Island

Experience the thrill of deep-sea sport fishing in the world-renowned waters of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Led by the skilled and passionate Captain Gaige Inscore, this adventure offers a perfect blend of excitement and comfort for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re aiming for a trophy Blue Marlin or just hoping to catch dinner, you’ll be guided by a friendly and experienced crew dedicated to making your trip unforgettable. Set out from Honokohau Harbor on a well-equipped sportfishing vessel and make lifelong memories in the Blue Marlin capital of the world.


What to Expect

Your charter begins at Honokohau Harbor, where you'll meet Captain Gaige and his crew early in the morning. As you leave the harbor on the 42ft Merritt (Flybridge) sportfisher, powered by two 350HP Cummings engines, you will be swiftly carried to the deep, fish-rich waters that surround the Big Island.

The crew will prepare the lines with top-of-the-line tackle and bait. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, they’ll be right there to guide you, sharing tips and ensuring you're ready for that first bite. The waters off Kona are famous for their abundance of big game fish, and as the day progresses, you'll have the chance to battle species like Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Ono (Wahoo), and various types of Tuna.

Throughout the trip, the experienced crew will keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable, offering expert advice and sharing stories of past fishing triumphs. The boat is equipped with the latest electronics and safety gear, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch, knowing you're in safe hands.

As the day winds down, the crew will help you reel in your final catches, and if you're lucky enough to land a fish over 50 lbs, Captain Gaige will discuss the best options for sharing the trophy. With your catch cleaned and packaged by the crew, you’ll have the perfect memento of your incredible day at sea.

As you head back to the harbor, you’ll enjoy the last moments of your journey, basking in the Hawaiian sun and the satisfaction of a day well spent. Back on shore, you’ll part ways with Captain Gaige and the crew, taking with you not just your fish, but also photos, videos, and memories of an extraordinary adventure.
