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).
