What To Expect

What could be better than experiencing some seriously world-class big game fishing in a truly tropical paradise? Come aboard the Kona Cowboy and get ready to cruise the beautiful, Blue waters of Kailua-Kona, HI. Get ready for the angling adventure of a lifetime!

The climate here means that it’s possible to explore these waters in every season, so no matter when you visit, you’ll have the chance to reel in a seriously impressive catch. Whether you are seeking a relaxing day on the water or an intense big game fishing experience, Capt. Gaige is the perfect guide!

You’ll be setting out on your adventure in a 35’ Bertram sport fishing boat that can accommodate up to 4 anglers. We will be targeting Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and plenty more. Capt.

Activity name

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
