There are only a few boats in Kona that are even able to put shared charters together. I have the best share charter boats in Kona listed below. I am also going to attempt an alternative to the typical 1/2 day share charter operation over the next several months. Here's how I will attempt to put together full day share charters; Either a single person or a couple can book the Aloha Kai for a full day. The person(s) booking the boat will take the responsibility for the booking and will go fishing with me even if another single or couple isn't found to share the boat. Below is the list of currently available full day share charter dates. The first one on the list is an example just in case that there are no currently available share charters listed so you can see how it looks:
August 25th. (example)
Sept. 7th share available
The earlier you book the charter, the better chance there will be of making a share charter happen.
Below are the best 1/2 day share boats in Kona! In order to do a full day share charter on these boats, you would need to book two 1/2 day trips (and only if they happen to have two trips going that day). These share boats need to operate with a minimum number of passengers going out so if that number isn't reached, the charter is cancelled. Both of the share charter boats listed below are very busy operations and also fillet the catch for their customers. Something you may want to consider when booking any Hawaii charter boat.

The "Sea Wife
II" is a 38'
Delta operated by Capt. Chris Kam. The Sea Wife II is the only fishing vessel in Kona licensed to take more than 6 passengers and is able to take up to 18 passengers but, they limit the number of anglers to 8 so each fisherman has a chance. That means that "ride along" people who don't want to actually fight fish but want to come along for the ride such as the wife, kids, girl friend and such can go along also at a less than "angler" price. |
