Kona Fishing Charter

Phantom Sportfishing - Kona Fishing Charter


Embark on an unforgettable sportfishing adventure aboard the Phantom, a 40-foot Gamefisherman Express! Known for its exceptional stability, comfort and performance, this vessel was built to handle the open waters off Kailua-Kona, a prime location for big-game fishing. The experienced crew will guide you through the best fishing spots to help you land the catch of a lifetime.

Kailua-Kona is home to some of the best big-game fishing in the world, and you'll have the opportunity to catch a variety of legally permitted species, including Pacific Blue Marlin (A'u), Striped Marlin (Nairagi), Yellowfin and Bigeye Tuna (Ahi), Skipjack Tuna (Aku), Mahi-Mahi (Dorado), Wahoo (Ono) and Shortbill Spearfish (Hebi).

All trips are private charters – custom trips designed for your group, with options to combine fishing and sightseeing. And if you are looking to get the whole family outdoors, kids are absolutely welcome!

Tour Options:

  • Half-Day Charters (4 hours): Perfect for a short but exciting fishing experience.
  • Goldilocks Charter (6 hours): For those interested in the best of both.
  • Full-Day Charters (8 hours): Enjoy a full day on the water with more opportunities to reel in trophy fish.


Tour Inclusions:

  • Top-of-the-line fishing equipment, including rods, reels, tackle and live bait
  • Professional crew - experienced captain and crew are dedicated to ensuring your fishing adventure is successful and enjoyable
  • All licensing - no need to worry about fishing permits as they are not required for charter customers in Hawaii
  • Fish processing - the crew will gladly clean and fillet any fish you catch to take with you at no additional cost (marlin are typically catch-and-release)
