Things to know
Where to find us
Honokohau Harbor is between town and the airport right off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy/HI-19 on Kealakehe Pkwy. Follow Kealakehe Pkwy straight to the fuel dock parking lot (about ¾ mile - look for Jack’s Diving Locker) where you will park. Walk around the yellow gate and follow the roadway about 100 yards to our gate.
WHAT to Bring
Our Charters are full service. We provide tackle, ice, snacks, and cold non-alcoholic beverages. No fishing license is needed. The water is generally calm, but if you tend toward motion sickness, you will want to address that. We recommend you bring lunch, sunscreen (no spray sunscreen allowed), hat, sunglasses and camera. As a lunch option, the Tiger Shark Deli is located at the parking lot you’ll use - order the night before your charter for early morning service.
Group Size
Our private charters accommodate up to six people, minimum age 10.
No Experience necessary
Our clients range from first-timers to professionals. We have an experienced crew to coach and train.
WHAT WE FISH FOR
We are primarily fishing for Pacific Blue Marlin! We will also catch Striped Marlin, Spearfish, Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi), Wahoo (Ono), and Mahi-mahi.
We encourage catch and release on all blue marlin. Traditionally most Kona boats keep the food fish, but we are happy to fillet as much of the catch as you can enjoy while you’re in Kona.
Gratuities
A 20-25% tip is customary.
