The Fishing Capital of the Pacific

Hawaii sits in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where deep, nutrient-rich waters attract some of the world's most prized game fish. The Kona Coast of the Big Island is legendaryβ€”more Pacific blue marlin over 1,000 pounds have been caught here than anywhere else on Earth.

Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing granders or a family wanting to reel in your first mahi-mahi, Hawaii's fishing charters offer something for everyone. Most boats provide all gear, tackle, and even help filleting your catch.

Half-day trips run 4-6 hours, full-day trips 8+ hours. Share charters are affordable; private charters give you the boat to yourself.
