Ratings & Reviews Summary in Hawaii

AI Generated Review Summary

Fishing in Hawaii offers incredible deep-sea adventures across the island chain, targeting blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, skipjack, ono, and spearfish in productive waters from Kona to Kauai. Anglers reach depths of 6000 feet just minutes from harbor, with guides locating fish around coast guard buoys and drop-offs where pelagic species congregate. Captains demonstrate remarkable expertise in finding fish and sharing valuable techniques, creating educational experiences that teach island history and marine knowledge alongside fishing skills. Families particularly value the patient instruction provided to children, with crews ensuring young anglers successfully land trophy fish including 150-pound marlin. The consistent action keeps guests engaged throughout trips, with many boats offering fresh sashimi preparation onboard and thorough fish cleaning services for travel home.

Captain Shawn and Joe were great hosts this morning. Both are so knowledgeable about fishing the area and so many other great facts about the island. We had nonstop action with skipjack tuna the entire time. I would highly recommend them for future trips.

We have been coming to Kona for 14 years.Many different boats, but the silky is the best. Captain Dave and William. Put us on 2 blues and a striped marlin the best day on the water by far. The boat is setup so everyone has a comfortable space. The bridge has ample room for all unlike most boats

I've always wanted to try deep sea fishing, so I contacted Kona Dice and booked a trip. The captain and first mate got us on some fish quickly. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this trip to anyone. Had a great time!
