The Kona Coast of Hawaii's Big Island is one of the world's premier big-game fishing destinations. The deep water drops off steeply just offshore, putting anglers over thousands of feet of water within minutes of leaving the harbor.

Blue marlin exceeding 1,000 pounds — known as granders — are caught here more often than anywhere else on Earth. The annual Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament draws elite anglers from around the globe. Yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and wahoo provide consistent action year-round. Honokohau Harbor is the primary launch and charter base.
