The Kona fleet is one of the oldest and most prestigious fleets in the world. Boasting over 55 blue marlin weighing in over the 1000 pound mark, these granders are caught everyday of the week, every month of the year.

World record blue marlin, spearfish, and tuna are caught in the prestine blue water just 2 minutes from shore in the calmest waters of the pacific ocean.

Each of the Captains and crew listed to the left have thousands of days catching marlin for young and old alike. Many of the Captains specialize in tournament fishing and will guide the amateur or the most seasoned professional to a jackpot win or the most prestigious tournament trophy.

Tournaments sanctioned as some of the best in the world are held predominately in the summer months from June - September. This coincides with the arrival of an abundance of blue marlin during the peak of the fishing year.

Charter boats range in price and quality. Expect to pay between $800.00 - $1200.00 per day for a full day charter and less for half days or 3/4 days.
