We had a great day on the water as a family of four. The captain and William were very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. The weather was perfect with sunshine and calm seas. We spent the first few hours fishing, then headed over to the Captain Cook area to snorkel before getting back to fishing again. We had a few bites but didn’t land any fish, which can happen. Even so, we really enjoyed the day and the overall experience.

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 booked a half-day charter with Kona Cowboy Sportfishing. We didn’t get any bites unfortunately but it was such a fun experience. Captain Gaige and Ryan were awesome and super hospitable. Definitely will book with them again when we return to the big island!
