We did a half day trip on 5/24/21 with our three kids (12, 10, and 7).  We had a great time.  Fir the first three hours, we only had some teasing bites.  Some had even given up hope.  But the , like a 4th quarter comeback, we caught two wahoo at the same time.  Ten minutes later, we were reeling in a third.  What a rush!  Captain Howard was great, and our deckhand Sara was one of the hardest working, most enthusiastic people I had ever met.  They made us feel like we were all a team and anything that we reeled in was huge win for the entire boat.  Once we found the fish, it was go time!  Frantic movement, adrenaline, and excitement.  Kids were loving it and the crew was tremendous.  We were also fortunate to have Captain Mike who was in training on our boat.  He pulled all of the fish back into the boat for us and filleted our fish on the dock.    Great crew!  Great fun!  Great boat!  I’d highly recommend taking this trip.

I booked a half day fishing charter for Saturday May 8, 2021.  It was my son’s 24th birthday & he loves deep sea fishing so I suggested we fly to Kailua-Kona to do a fishing charter.  We’re from Honolulu so it was a fun neighbor island get-away for us with the fishing trip being the highlight of our trip. 
The captain & first mate could not have been more accommodating. 
We got 2 bites, a double hit!  My son & I reeled 2 Ono in together.  It could not have been a more exciting time and what a thrill to haul in those Ono.  My son was over the moon with sheer joy.  JC was very helpful with his assistance while reeling them in getting them into the boat. 
At the beginning of our fishing adventure, I had the misfortune to misplace my cell phone & went into a panic when I couldn’t find out.  We had just cleared the harbor when I told the captain.  He kindly turned the boat around for me to look for it.  Turned out that it had dropped in the ocean when I’d entered the boat at the dock.  JC the first mate volunteered to jump in and retrieve it for me.  I had an otter case so the phone still worked. 
Captain Leonar & JC could not have been more accommodating & I was so grateful for their kindness.

Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting today. As Captain Scott said, “There is a fine line between a fishing trip and a boat ride” 😎 Nevertheless, we had a great time with Scott and First Mate Brent, and thoroughly enjoyed our morning off the Kona coast. They even kept us out a bit longer than the time we had paid for in hopes of getting a bite, but the fish refused to cooperate today. Great company and conversation, and one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. We’ll definitely try again with these guys the next time we come over. Thanks guys!

Excellent! Had a blast! We didn’t catch this trip but we will definitely book again. I’ve personally had the opportunity to fish in several countries and states and I’m telling you, we felt like we were part of the boat. It’s called fishing for a reason, and these guys know what they’re doing. Great boat, great captain, great deck hand, great gear and a great trip!

We had a beautiful day on the water. The crew did a great job working for us trying to put us on fish., unfortunately, as I knew it is not prime season and it’s been very slow for everyone the last few weeks. Well, we did not catch fish. We had a great time. Need to come back in summer when it’s prime season.
Thats Fishing!!
