Departing from Honokohau Harbor

Honokohau Harbor is near Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. Check the boat's exact slip and meeting instructions; boats in the same harbor may use different meeting points. Plan around the check-in time shown on your confirmed eTicket.

Before you choose a boat

Should I choose a shorter or longer fishing trip?

A shorter trip leaves more of your day free and reduces your time at sea. A longer trip gives the captain more time to fish and explore offshore grounds. Compare the actual durations offered by your chosen boat; more time does not guarantee a catch.

Can children join a Kona fishing charter?

Check the selected boat's minimum age, passenger rules and facilities before booking. Tell our team the children's ages so we can help you compare suitable options. Do not assume every charter has the same policy.

Can we keep the fish we catch?

Fish-sharing and catch-retention policies vary by boat. Review the selected charter's policy before booking, especially if taking fish home is important to your group.

Are private and shared trips available on the same days?

Not necessarily. Shared trips may run on a different schedule or need a minimum number of passengers. Select the charter type you want and check its own booking calendar.
