Sportfishing in Kona, Hawaii

World-Class Big-Game Fishing in the Pacific

The Big Island of Hawaii is one of the world’s premier sportfishing destinations, famous for its giant blue marlin, shortbill spearfish, big yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and the occasional mahi-mahi. Anglers travel from around the globe—often on their way to the Great Barrier Reef—to fish these deep, sapphire-blue waters where year-round currents and abundant bait create ideal conditions for trophy big-game catches close to shore.

With offshore structure that includes ledges, drop-offs, coral reefs and pinnacles just minutes from port, Kona offers unparalleled access to big-game species, making it a bucket-list destination for serious heavy-tackle anglers and tournament competitors alike.
