Sportsman's Trip - 40' Bertram Sportfisher

This is the perfect trip for your Hawaii trophy hunt. Just a short boat ride offshore and you'll be in prime waters for sailfish, marlin, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and more. Capt. Shawn's boat is outfitted with Shimano reels and quality rods and tackle, all IGFA qualified in case you catch a potential record breaker. Equipped with a sturdy fighting chair, you'll be in comfort when fighting your quarry. After the battle, you can take a load off in the air conditioned cabin equipped with all the amenities you need to recharge for the next fish.

The Kona Cowboy is a 1977 Bertram Flybridge sport fishing machine. Recently restored in 2019, she has all the bells and whistles needed for your trophy hunt.

Captain Shawn Slattery with Kona Cowboy Fishing Charters was born into a commercial fishing family. After the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, he decided it was time for a change, so he began offering private charters.

He took his commercial knowledge and set out to hunt trophies in Kona, and never looked back. He has a combined 35 years of experience between commercial and recreational fishing, and he's excited to share his years of knowledge with his clients.
