The charter boats listed on this page are the very finest of
the Kona fleet and the Kona fleet is one of the oldest and most prestigious
charter fleets in the world with each of the boat listed having 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. Boasting over 55
blue marlin weighing in over the 1000 pound mark, is what makes Kailua-Kona,
"The Marlin Capital of the World!"
All of these charter boats
only do private charters except "Sea Wife"
