Welcome to Hawaii, a tropical paradise that’s as famous for its world-class fishing as it is for its breathtaking beauty. The waters off Kona are a big game angler’s dream, offering flat calm seas, no long runs to fishing grounds, and an unmatched history of producing 84 Grander Marlin—including a jaw-dropping 1,805-pound blue marlin. Every month of the year holds the potential to reel in a 1,000+ pound monster, but the action is especially hot from March to August, when the most granders are historically landed. Add to that consistent catches of Striped Marlin, Spearfish (Hatchet Marlin), and Yellowfin Tuna, and it’s no wonder Kona is a bucket-list destination for anglers worldwide.
Here, even the smallest boats can land the biggest fish. In fact, the smallest boat to ever catch a Grander marlin—a modest 17-foot Boston Whaler—landed a 1,050-pound blue marlin in 1986. Whether you're chasing history on a state-of-the-art charter or a more intimate vessel, Kona’s waters are teeming with opportunities to hook your trophy catch.
After an exhilarating day on the water, Kona’s vibrant nightlife and culinary scene await. Stroll along the waterfront and relax at iconic spots like Huggo’s on the Rocks or the Kona Brewing Company, where live music, refreshing drinks, and the laid-back island vibe provide the perfect setting to swap fishing stories. Indulge in local favorites like poke bowls, ahi tuna, and grilled mahi-mahi, or immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture with a traditional luau featuring delicious food and mesmerizing performances.
With Country Fly, you’ll gain access to Kona’s top charter boats and expert captains who will guide you to the heart of the action. Peak season for blue marlin runs from March through August, but the magic of Hawaii’s fishing and culture is year-round.
