Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for wahoo in Kona as well as nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Kona are heavy tackle fishing, trolling, and artificial lure fishing but light tackle fishing and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Kailua-Kona wahoo fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Our family had an incredible time on this trip. The marlin got off the hook, but my son reeled in a 68” yellow tail. The crew were knowledgeable and worked hard to take care of us. Don’t pass on Captain Experiences.

    Trip: Kona Coast Big Game Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We are visiting from California and have many years of deep sea fishing off the California coast. We specialized in catching mako sharks. We booked a half day charter hoping to experience the thrill of catching fish off of the Big Island. We were not disappointed. Skipper Dusty and mate RJ worked very hard to pursue big fish off of Kona. Both of these guys were very professional, enthusiastic, and very personable. Near the end of our charter we hadn’t caught anything but Dusty and RJ kept working hard. And BANG! All of a sudden we had a hook up with a 200+ pound Pacific blue marlin. What a fight! What a beautiful fish. We got him to the boat took pictures and set him free. Just an incredible experience. We highly recommend Dusty for a great adventure in deep sea angling. FISH ON!

    Trip: Half Day Charter 4 Hours

  • ★★★★★
    Amazing fishing trip! Shawn and Joe were fantastic. We brought our 8-year son along, and they were incredibly patient with him - even when he was going on and on about Pokemon, lol. The morning started out a little slow, but picked up about 3 hours in. We ended up landing two ono, one right as we were heading back in for the day. They let us keep as much of the fish as we wanted, and we enjoyed grilling it on the beach the next day. We also did some bottom fishing, which was a lot of fun for our son. He got to reel in several interesting little fish and stayed engaged the whole time. Overall, it was a great experience with a friendly, knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend!

    What a great experience! I have three sons (ages 10–15), and they had a fantastic time being out on the water and learning about fishing. Charles and Scott were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. A special thank-you to Charles, who helped my oldest son reel in an ono—an unforgettable moment and definitely one of the highlights of our time on the Big Island. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing adventure!
