Share charters are a good option for singles and couples on a budget. There are only a few operations in Kona that are even capable of regularly putting a shared charter together because a certain number of people are needed for a share charter to even take place. Some boats offer share charters but have so few customers that they have little to no chance of making a share charter actually happen. Full day share on the Aloha Kai with Capt. Jeff Rogers. Here's how it works: Here are the dates of shares that have been initiated and waiting for somone to book the other 1/2 of the boat. 1/2 day share on the Sea Wife II with Capt. Kent Mongreig.
I run the only viable full day share charter option in Kona and also listed below is the best 1/2 day share charter boat in Kona.
* You can initiate a share charter on any available day (email or call me).
* 1 or 2 people book 1/2 of the Aloha Kai for full day share charter (never more than 2).
* The available share date will be listed below.
* When the share is completed by 1 or 2 others (never more than 2), the date below will dissapear.
* The cost for 1/2 of the boat (1 or 2 doesn't matter) is $375 + 7% Hawaii excise and Harbor tax.
* If by chance a share is not reached by the date of your charter, we will still go fishing. You can stay with a full day charter at full exclusive charter price or you can reduce your charter down to a 3/4 day exclusive to save money.

June 7th share available.
June 24th share available.
YOU can initiate a full day share charter on any date that I have open for a charter.
The earlier you start the share process, the better chance there is of making a completed share charter happen.
Last year, slightly more than 2 out of 3 shares were completed.
The Sea Wife II is a 38' Delta and is the only fishing vessel in Kona licensed to take out more than 6 passengers. On a share charter, they limit the number of "anglers" to 8 or less and other passengers can come along at a "ride along" price.
If you have more than 6 people in a fishing party, this is your only choice of boats.
Anglers are $109 + tax and a "ride along" is $59 + tax.
Exclusive charters (not shared) available.
