Dale Leverone
Sea Strike Sport Fishing Kona delivers unforgettable fishing adventures in the world-famous waters of Kona, Hawaii. This family-owned and operated charter is led by Captain Dale Leverone, a seasoned pro with over 35 years of experience, and his son Jack—an up-and-coming angler who’s been fishing nearly his entire life. Together, this father-son team brings skill, instinct, and a deep love for the ocean to every trip.
At the heart of the operation is the Sea Strike, a 31-foot Bertram sportfishing boat—widely regarded as one of the best vessels ever built for serious offshore fishing. Built in 1990 and fully restored, this classic is powered by twin inboard Cummins diesel engines, cruising comfortably at 20–25 knots. It’s designed to handle big water and big fish, while providing a safe, stable, and comfortable ride. The Sea Strike accommodates up to 6 passengers plus 2 crew, making it perfect for families, friends, or solo anglers chasing their next trophy catch.
Kona is one of the top destinations in the world for big game fishing, and Sea Strike has earned its place in the record books. Captain Dale holds multiple IGFA world and state records, including a legendary 1,166 lb. blue marlin caught on 50-lb test line. He’s also a past winner of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament (HIBT), and his charter has been featured on ESPN, “Let’s Go Fishing,” and in major angling magazines.
Jack Leverone, now 21, is following in his father’s footsteps. He earned an IGFA junior world record for a 547 lb. thresher shark and continues to grow as both a deckhand and aspiring captain. Guests enjoy fishing with the Leverones not only because of their expertise, but also because of their friendly, down-to-earth personalities.
Trips are tailored to your goals—whether that’s chasing monster blue marlin, light-tackle mahi mahi action, or taking the kids on their first deep sea outing. Choose from half-day, three-quarter-day, or full-day charters, with options for big tackle, light tackle, catch-and-release, or catch-and-cook.
If you’re looking for a seasoned crew, a legendary boat, and world-class waters, Sea Strike Sport Fishing Kona is ready to take you there. Call today to reserve your seat and see what’s biting!
