Aloha and welcome to Kona, Hawaii! Tropical Sun Sportfishing offers year-round service, ready to take you on a fishing adventure whenever you want. Join the experienced captain Ryan, who’s been fishing these waters since he was a teenager. With lots of knowledge and patience, he’ll help any guest to become an angler by the end of the trip.

Tropical Sun is a custom 45’ Bertram sport fisher redone in 2019, with all the latest modern technology and creature comforts. In spring 2022 installed a new Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer. This new technology reduces 70-90% of the boat’s roll on the ocean and greatly reduces motion sickness. Fully air-conditioned cabin, full-size refrigerator/freezer, satellite TV, WiFi, new Garmin chart plotter/radar, chirp sounder/fishfinder, 2 Garmin VHFs, Eskimo Dometic ice maker, Spot Zero water purified water, we make our own ice, and much more. Large flybridge seating/ viewing area and a large cockpit with release marine 130 fighting chair. There’s enough room for 6 guests to fish in comfort.

Come fish the deep blue calm water for gigantic Blue Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Ono, and other pelagic species. There’s a variety of fishing techniques to use and it all depends on what you’re after and how challenging you want it to be.

Tackle is ranging from light tackle to heavy 130 lbs tackle, professionally maintained and tournament ready. The equipment is included in the price, as well as your licenses and soft drinks. Feel free to bring some snacks and sun protection.

From first-timers to seasoned anglers, Tropical Sun Sportfishing specializes in putting their clients on the fish. Come join them aboard the Tropical Sun and get hooked into the fish of a lifetime!

3 blue marlin!
8 Hour Fishing Charter 6:30am on November 29, 20252 adults
Had a great trip with great very knowledgeable crew. 3 blue marlin and a additional bite. Boat is very well maintained and air conditioning WORKS which is huge because after you reel in a fish it feels amazing in the salon! Fridge to keep your sandwiches and beer cold. Highly recommend.

This was an awesome experience for our family, especially my two boys. The boat was very nice and comfortable. Captain Ryan and crew did an amazing job with us; very knowledgeable and personable to make it a great experience. I highly recommend Tropical Sun if you’re in the area.

The boat is so comfortable. Crew was wonderful and friendly. We were out the day of the tsunami warning. But, we did manage to bring one in before the warnings. Would definitely go out again with these guys!

Ryan and Lee were top notch professionals. The boat was a dream. Pretty healthy swells out there and the boat ate them with ease. Captain Ryan got us on two blue marlin! Trip of a lifetime for me and my family.

6 Hour Fishing Charter 6:30am on December 11, 20252 adults
We booked a 6 hour charter and the boat it self is really nice. the captain and the deck hand were friendly. They just weren’t personable, i felt like i had to go out of my way to talk with them. We did hook onto one fish but that lasted for 5 minutes and went free. We spent 4 hours after that bite trolling with no more bites. The captain was telling me how slow it has been. I wish he would have been more honest up front, i wouldnt have booked the 6 hour charter. Definitely felt that i wasted 1300 dollars.
