About Your Trip
Step aboard with Captain Kai and First Mate Manu for an exclusive offshore adventure built around world-class fishing, local knowledge, and serious firepower. These private 4 to 10-hour trips are limited to just six guests, giving you the space, focus, and personalized experience needed to chase down the biggest game in Kona’s legendary bluewater.
Captain Kai and Manu were raised right here on the Big Island, and they bring that homegrown passion and expertise to
every trip. Whether you're here to chase your first Pacific Blue Marlin, haul in a hard-fighting Tuna, or simply enjoy a day offshore with your crew, this team is dedicated to helping you hook up and have a blast doing it.
The vessel is a tournament-proven 47’ Buddy Davis Convertible Sportfisher, purpose-built for big game fishing and fully modernized for peak performance and comfort. She’s undergone a full transformation, including twin 850hp Caterpillar engines, a brand-new deck and fuel system, and a 2024 electronics suite featuring Garmin systems, Furuno omni-directional sonar, a Furuno Doppler, and TimeZero navigation. Inside, you'll find three A/C units keeping things cool, plus a full salon, master stateroom, refrigerator, and microwave — making long days on the water as comfortable as they are exciting.
Every trip is outfitted for serious action, with heavy tackle Shimano 130 combos spooled with tournament-grade Amilan line. You’ll troll four lines with hooks, plus surface teasers and a dredge to maximize your odds at hooking into a monster. If the bite calls for something different, GreenStick tuna fishing is also available, along with light tackle setups perfect for mahi-mahi and other table fare.
From the first line in the water to the final run back to the harbor, Captain Kai’s goal is simple: give you the best possible shot at everything from dinner-worthy fish to one of Kona’s legendary marlin.
