Guided by a retired Los Angeles fire chief with a lifelong passion for fishing, every trip is designed to provide guests with a personalized and memorable outing on the pristine waters of Hawaii’s Big Island. Whether you’re seeking world-class big game fishing, a scenic eco-tour, or a first-time fishing experience for the kids, Firehatts Sportfishing has the expertise and equipment to make your day on the water extraordinary.


Kona is celebrated worldwide for its calm waters, crystal-clear visibility, and an abundance of fish species, including marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi, and more. Onboard, guests enjoy the comfort of a well-maintained, fully equipped vessel featuring top-of-the-line Shimano gear and a Coast Guard-certified crew dedicated to safety and hospitality. Trips are flexible, with options for half-day, three-quarter, and full-day adventures, accommodating up to six passengers—perfect for families, friends, or small groups seeking an exclusive outing.


One of the most rewarding aspects of guiding in Kona is sharing the unique marine ecosystem with guests. Firehatts Sportfishing goes beyond just fishing, offering specialty trips that include snorkeling, wildlife watching, and educational insights about the local waters.
