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 legendary—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.
