They were super professional and polite. We are a family that is comfortable being outside and they were super mellow about us all being up top. Ryan, the deck hand, was almost more excited about us ALMOST snagging a huge blue marlin. He was very excited about our catch, the meat quality and size, which made it super fun! I have done other fishing guides who shuffle you off to get your catch cut up for a big price. I was a little surprised and happy that they simply tossed it on the table and began cutting it up. We also chatted about recipes and other things to do on the island. The boat was super clean, easy to move around and the captain and deck hand MOVED when we snagged fish. We got 2 bites in a few hours and they tried hard to get us other fish. They were determined and got us a sweet striped marlin. Even if no fish, it was a great day on the water.

Thank you for the nice review and for fishing with us. The Blue Marlin bite is always exciting for everyone! We hope you enjoyed the Striped Marlin! We grilled some and made ceviche out of what you left for us. Thanks again for choosing to fish with us. Safe travels and hope to see you again! Mahalo, Gordon

We went out with Captain Gaige and can’t say enough good things! From the moment we stepped on the boat we felt right at home. We were greeted with breakfast pastries and smiles and he gave us a rundown on safety stuff. We started fishing right away and his passion for fishing and being out on the water became obvious as soon as we started talking and we were very impressed. We had a group of 5- 3 of us who are fishing enthusiasts and a couple who were basically just along for the ride- everyone had an equally enjoyable experience. I have done at least 5 charters out of Kona, all on different boats with different captains, and am happy to say that I will only be using Kona Cowboy in the future. Can’t wait to get back to the island and get on the water with Gaige!

The captain and deck hand were super nice. Very friendly. Other than that, we were Disappointed. We let them know we wanted to try and catch some Mahi mahi, possibly for dinner that night, as well as my husband was really wanting a blue marlin. We went up the coast, did a couple turns, then went down the coast. They did change the color if a couple of the lures, but no other changes were made. We were told that all they were fishing for was Marlin. I get it, not every day is a good day for fishing, but it was a very expensive boat ride.

Sorry to hear that the fish didn’t cooperate that day. Fishing changes daily - and we do all we can in the time allotted to find fish for the client. For the idea of Mahi, they are not automatic, but if we see something that shows Mahi are there, such as a floater or that they are on a buoy, we change up to catch them. If there is no sign of them, then there is no reason to try to fish in the blind for them. Your chances of the Blue Marlin are much greater on the troll. Glad to hear Capt. and crew were super nice and friendly! Sorry to see that the fish cost us 2 stars that day. Thanks for fishing with us - Good luck to you!
