Private Big Game Fishing Charter

Experience the thrill of deep sea fishing off the coast of Hilo on a private big game fishing charter with flexible 4, 6, or 8-hour options for up to 6 guests. Step aboard a fully equipped sport fishing vessel and head beyond the bay with an experienced local captain and CPR-trained crew.

The waters off East Hawai'i are home to prized game fish including Mahi Mahi, Ono, and Ahi tuna, offering anglers of all levels an unforgettable challenge. The crew guides you through techniques and equipment for targeting pelagic species, from setting the lines to reeling in your catch — whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer.

As you cruise along Hilo's stunning coastline, take in breathtaking views of Mauna Kea and the lush Hamakua cliffs with warm trade winds at your back. This private charter provides a personalized, hands-on fishing experience.

All fishing gear, rods, reels, and tackle are included along with light snacks, cold beverages, professional captain and crew, and all safety equipment. Guests are welcome to bring a packed lunch and additional refreshments. Motion sickness medication is recommended if you're prone to seasickness.

Hilo Ocean Adventures practices responsible, sustainable fishing — eat only what you catch, catch only what you eat, and leave the rest to the sea.

Ages 12 and up. Minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Departs from 1717 Kamehameha Ave, Hilo. Fishing charters require 30 days advance notice for cancellation with full refund.
