Huntress
Sportfishing
Elite Marlin and Pelagic Fishing Adventures
There are a lot of charter boats in Kona. There is only one Huntress.
Since 1973, the Huntress has fished these waters and built a record no other boat in Hawaii can match. More grander blue marlin than any other vessel in the pacific. One of those being the 2nd largest ever captured on rod and reel, a 1,656-pound Pacific blue marlin in 1984. Along with numerous tournament wins throughout the years, and most notably a World Cup win in 2014.
Today, Capt. Jack Leverone runs the Huntress — A second generation captain born and raised in Kona, an IGFA world record holder at 15, and a tournament winner. If you want to fish Kona the right way, this is your boat.

The Most Storied Boat in Kona.
Every Huntress charter is private — your group, your boat, your day. We troll offshore for Pacific blue marlin and whatever else is biting: Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Ono (Wahoo), and Mahimahi. Billfish go back. Everything else, we handle on deck.

We're based at Honokohau Marina in Kailua-Kona — 3 miles south of the airport and 3 miles north of downtown. Easy to find, easy to park, right on the water.
Find Us at Honokohau Marina
The bottom drops fast here. Less than a mile from shore and you're in 600 feet of water or more — big game country. Pacific blue marlin, Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Ono (Wahoo), and Mahimahi run these waters year-round.
Kona is why fishing people fly to Hawaii. We troll a 4 to 5 line spread built to find what the fish want that day.
