You’ll be welcome aboard a 45’ Sportfishing that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. The deckhand will assist in catching live bait.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing!

It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Kailua-Kona for yourself, with the Vixen.
