Private Fishing Charters meets at Kona, Hawaii – See Google Maps link for exact dock location of Sea Baby III.

This charter targets a wide range of Big Game fish in Kona waters, including Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Ahi, Ono, Mahi Mahi, Shortnose Spearfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Skipjack Tuna. The variety means there are realistic opportunities to hook different species depending on conditions during your trip. The Sea Baby III has a documented history as a top producer for Big Game Fishing off the Kona coast. The boat's all-time largest catch is a 1,195 pound Blue Marlin, which gives a sense of the caliber of fishing these waters are known for and what this particular vessel has been capable of landing.

The private fishing charter accommodates a maximum of 6 passengers, making it well suited for families, small groups of friends, or anyone who wants an exclusive experience on the water without sharing the boat with strangers. Because the charter is private, your entire group will have the boat to yourselves. The Sea Baby III is a 35-foot custom Funai Sportfisher described as comfortable, clean, fast, and maneuverable, so a group of up to 6 should have enough space to fish and move around the vessel comfortably throughout the trip.

You can receive a full refund or credit if you cancel at least 48 hours before your charter's scheduled departure time. Cancellations must be made by phone, and the same 48-hour window applies whether you want a refund or a credit toward a future booking. If the operator cancels your charter due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will also receive a full refund or credit. However, no-shows are charged the full price with no refund, so it is important to contact Kona Sea Sports directly by phone if your plans change before departure day.

Yes - if you catch a fish heavier than the Sea Baby III's current record of 1,195 pounds, the entire trip is on the house. This is a standing offer from Kona Sea Sports that adds an extra layer of excitement for anglers chasing a true trophy Blue Marlin. The 1,195 pound Blue Marlin remains the largest fish ever landed on the Sea Baby III, and that benchmark sets a high bar. Still, the offer reflects the confidence Kona Sea Sports has in the fishing grounds and in the vessel, which was specifically built and designed to pursue monster-sized game fish in these waters.

The charter runs aboard the Sea Baby III, a 35-foot custom Funai Sportfisher that was specifically built for Big Game Fishing. It is described as comfortable, clean, fast, and highly maneuverable, which are qualities that matter when you are spending extended time offshore targeting large fish. The Sea Baby III is not a standard production boat - it was custom built with the goal of catching large game fish, and captains and crews worldwide reportedly recognize it as an effective game boat. With a capacity of up to 6 passengers and a design focused on performance and comfort, it is built to handle a serious day of fishing on the open ocean.
